GLOBAL BIRD PHOTOS is dedicated to working with like-minded worldwide bird photographers in educating and inspiring the general public, birders, and photographers about the habits and beauty of birds. This site specializes in the photography of adult birds interacting with their young and capturing prey. The site is most interested in the photography of small birds during the raising of the young from hatching until fledging. It is hoped that contributing photographers will make their observations available to visitors of the site. With today’s cameras with the high ISO coupled with long lenses and high speed strobes this can be achieved without interfering with the subjects. An important goal is to make the information about the taking of the photographs available to contributors to the site. “I take air photos to feed my body; I take bird photos to feed my soul. Perhaps it’s because I want to be like the birds and fly." - Donald E. Waite www.globalairphotos.com
