This is a project of the society to document the birds of NB with photographs by our members. It will obviously be a work in progress with photos changing as they become available. Initially some of the photos may not be great but will be replaced as better shots are submitted.
I appeal to all members to browse through the photos and submit any of your work to help round out the project. As of Apr. 14, 2008 we only have 134 of the 280 plus birds illustrated so there is lots of opportunity for all you photographers.
Members contributing so far are: Bob B., Brian E., Dianne M., James P., Jim B., Jim McQ., John R., Tiffany T., and Stephen P.
Maybe we can do wild flowers next????
