Unless otherwise specified, all images on this site were taken by me. I didn’t really focus on photography until 2004, so there are species (particularly those seen in the eastern half of North America, and in Europe) that I never photographed myself. For these species, and those where my own photographs are poor quality, I may supplement my records with open-sourced images (all of which are appropriately credited). All my images are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Full resolution versions of many of them are also available on the Macaulay Library.
