Some cool Birds images:
Flying Free

This flamingo is proud to fly freely. I love how his head is up. Photo taken in the Laguna Hedionda in the Bolivian Altiplano.
The James's Flamingo (Phoenicopterus jamesi), also known as the Puna Flamingo, is a South American flamingo, named for Harry Berkeley James. It breeds on the high Andean plateaus of Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Argentina. It is related to the Andean Flamingo, and the two are often placed in the genus Phoenicoparrus.
It is a small and delicate flamingo, approximately 3 feet in height. Its plumage is pale pink, with bright carmine streaks around the neck and on the back. When perched a small amount of black can be seen in the wings. There is bright red skin around the eye. The legs are brick-red and the bill is bright yellow with a black tip. Immature birds are greyish.
James's Flamingo is similar to other South American flamingoes, but the Chilean Flamingo is pinker, with a longer bill without yellow, and the Andean Flamingo is larger with more black in the wings and bill, and yellow legs.

White-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys; nuttalli) Morro Bay, CA 29jan2008 - Photo by Mike Baird bairdphotos.com Canon 1D Mark III w/ 300mm f/2.8 lens w/ 2X II TE, on monopod braced against a rail of the pond overlook at the Cloister's City Park.

Expert Greg Smith (slobirdr) says "The detail in your shot shows the more subtle identification characteristics (length of bill, flank color etc.) which brings this bird to the subspecies level - nuttalli."
#abuse 14 July 2012 I objected to the use of my image of this protected bird on a blog www.ehow.com/how_5370356_rid-sparrow-birds.html advocating killing sparrows.
I said:
I object to the unethical use of my image www.flickr.com/photos/mikebaird/2232004154/ of a protected species, the white-crowned sparrow bird, on this

ehow.com page on how to kill sparrows. Your use of an image of a protected species (White-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys; nuttalli)) on a page about how to exterminate nuisance sparrows reflects poorly on ehow's brand and does nothing but reduce your credibility.
I would like this photo removed and an apology made.
