Featuring photos from a few of our hundreds of contributors
BirdNote stories – joyful, positive, and packed with facts – share every amazing detail of birds’ lives. They connect us and inspire us to care.
And every day, members of the BirdNote corps of photographers bring the stories to life. Hundreds of photographers have generously shared their photos with us since BirdNote began in 2005.

The 2020 Birds of BirdNote calendar features images from 14 long-time BirdNote photo contributors. You can learn more about each one by clicking on his or her name. These include two birders in the Houston area, Joanne Kamo and Greg Lavaty; a former law professor at Stanford University, Tom Grey; and Mike Hamilton, a retired Boeing engineer.
Five regular contributors in the Pacific Northwest include Dory Hamlyn, retired teacher and avid BirdNote traveler; Mick Thompson, board member and chapter photographer at Eastside Audubon Society; Tom Sanders, who specializes in the "stand-like-a-statue" technique; Jerry McFarland, a retired administrator of drug/alcohol and mental health inpatient treatment programs; and Tom Munson, who spends most of his time on the back roads of Eastern Washington.
Nick Saunders, a native of the United Kingdom, now lives in Saskatchewan. Eugene Beckes, a Montana native, takes photos and writes poetry about birds. Tom Muir is an arts professor at Bowling Green State University. Jerry Ting, a native of Taiwan, is a frequent contributor to Audubon chapters in the San Francisco East Bay area. And at the opposite corner of the country, Tara Tanaka tends her 45-acre refuge with 275 Wood Stork nests in her backyard swamp in Tallahassee, Florida.
We have been thrilled to feature the work of these remarkable contributors to BirdNote. And we are grateful to Paul Bannick, Gerrit Vyn, and the hundreds of others who have been so generous with their work since BirdNote first aired in 2005.
