The BirdClix web site was launched by Wolf P. Weber in 2000 as a means
for Birders and the Birding Community to participate in his photographic adventures and observations of birds & waterfowl. Essentially an effort
to be in touch with and record what's left (or not) of the Natural World.
Just see the Osprey nest on a red tile roof (..?) in Florida.
No advertising nor subscription fees and no obligation to buy anything.
Any purchase of gallery prints is appreciated and considered helpful.
The currently offered Favorite Selection is a fine art print from a photograph of hundreds of airborne Black Skimmers -
"Exuberants"... Exuberant flyers they are indeed.
Originally Wolf became interested in birds as a sailor during his youth... "Whenever we'd see birds we knew that shore couldn't be too far.
Our aches, our minds would go with them. Later I had the
extraordinary chance to be able to enjoy the sounds of Nightingales
while living in the South of France. How many nights we fell silent
by an open window and listened. We'd just sit back and be absorbed.
I hardly ever got to see one of these enchanting birds and, strangely,
it never occurred to me to try and get a picture."
The latest cover story is about American Robins, currently 6 pages
with 18 pictures, giving an overview of the species' behavior...
The previous cover was about Black Skimmers, (updated Oct. 2009)
truly distinctive coastal water birds, awesome flyers, see for yourself...
Highly noteworthy images on BirdClix certainly are those about the
smallest of falcons, the American Kestrel. With the probably never
before recorded exploit of a
male provider bringing a small
rabbit kill to the high-up nest...
Harlequin Ducks and various other water fowl, around Rhode Island's
Sachuest Point might be of interest as well. Updates from Nov. 2008... Before that it was Green Herons, rather solitary wading birds, updated
in March of 2009. 6 pages by now, with 23 photographs. The latest
Osprey Scoop, from May 2010, shows Ospreys nesting on man-made structures... And an instructive picture sequence from 2009 about a pair
of Ospreys with a nest on top of the roof of a small tower in SW Florida.
Various Birds and Waterfowl presents a variety of photographic exploits
with frequent additions.
