Bird and Trip Photos

Welcome! We hope you will enjoy browsing the images you will find here without being disappointed that none are of professional quality and that some are unabashedly marginal. Photography is a decidedly secondary pursuit for us, being mostly a way to record a visual journal to jog our increasingly stubborn memories about where we've been and what we've seen. As most of our friends know, our primary focus is birds, but it also includes some other interesting critters and things we find along the way.

For the bird pages, we have updated the taxonomic sequence to AviSys version 6.00J which uses "... Clements 2009 (December) as updated by Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology ...".  

We would appreciate knowing about any errors. Please write us at pete@pspruance.com if you find any.
