This section contains photographs of extant birds occurring naturally in North America (excluding Hawaii) by Mike Danzenbaker. Most of these were taken in North America, but some, especially those more normally found in Europe, Asia or the neotropics, were taken elsewhere. This is the most nearly complete single-photographer collection of photos of the birds of North America available. Current species representation is 95%, and if the backlog of unposted photos were to be cleared would be 98%.

View photos of particular species by clicking on the links in the list to the right. If you don’t care about particular species, enter the for a selection of several images.

The list on the right can be displayed in taxonomic order or alphabetical order. Taxonomic order is based primarily on evolutionary relationships. It is most often used by ornithologists, and also with increasing frequency by birders. If you aren’t familiar with that ordering system, you’d be better off switching to alphabetic ordering (the link is in the upper right corner).
