Fairy Tern (Sternula nereis) by Bob & Nan

Today I received the permission to use the photos from two sets of great photographers.

Bob and Nan have their gallery at: http://bob-nan.smugmug.com/

They have traveled quite extensively, at least by their photo gallery. They have galleries for Serengeti; South Georgia; Brooks Fall – Alaska; Baja, California; Tanzania; Greenland and Canada; Africa; Antarctica, plus other places. There are many photos to check out on their site.

Carmine BeeEater (Merops nubicus or nubicoides) by Marc at Africaddict

Also, Marc Mol from Sydney, Australia has given permission to use his photos also. He has the Africaddict Gallery at http://africaddict.smugmug.com/

Marc gets around a lot also with galleries for: Sydney; Florida & Everglades; Zambia; Maldives; Italy; Dunk Island, Australia; Cairns; Africa Overland; South America Overland, plus other places.

Their photos will be a great help with the Birds of the World pages here. Thank you so much, Bob & Nan and Marc.

I trust these fine photographers, plus the one’s who have already given permission, will keep up the great photos. With 10,340 birds out there waiting to have their pictures taken, all the these photographers will be busy.

You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills; they give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches. (Psalms 104:10-12 ESV)
