Good photos of certain bird species are needed for publication in the Wisconsin Breeding Bird Atlas. At my suggestion this request is being sent to you. Please help if you can.
Jim Williams Wayzata ---------- From: "Thomas Schultz" <trschu...@vbe.com> Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2004 09:06:22 -0600 Subject: [wisb] WBBA images needed We are still in need of photos of a number of species for the forthcoming Wisconsin Breeding Bird Atlas book. We have been given until at least late June before we need to submit the images to the publisher (while the manuscript is being finalized), so we will have one more field season to try to get out and get the photos we need. Unfortunately, we are unable to monetarily compensate photographers for the use of their photos -- all of the images are donated -- but your contribution will be acknowledged in the book. These are the species for which we are still lacking suitable photographs: Bell's Vireo Blue Grosbeak Boreal Chickadee Eared Grebe (we have fair shot of winter-plumaged bird, but would prefer breeding plumage) Evening Grosbeak (we have shots of birds at feeders) Philadelphia Vireo Western Kingbird Yellow-billed Cuckoo Yellow Rail In addition, there are also some species for which we would love to have better photos than what we currently have. These would include: Alder Flycatcher Canada Warbler Hooded Merganser Magnolia Warbler Nashville Warbler Pileated Woodpecker Red Crossbill Red-shouldered Hawk Veery Warbling Vireo Wilson's Warbler Yellow-throated Vireo Photos that show breeding-related behavior are preferred, but in many cases that has not been possible, so any good photo of the species would do. Birds shown in a natural setting are also preferred (not hand-held). Photos should be reasonably sharp, with the bird somewhat prominent in the picture, and slides or high-quality digital images are preferred, although if we get desperate, good-quality prints or negatives might be used. Images selected for the book will be reproduced in full color! If you are able to help with providing for any of these species, please contact either of the photo editors listed below. The editors are also looking for high-quality photographs of various Wisconsin bird habitats or vegetative communities, so you are also welcome to submit images of those subjects for consideration.
