New England photo-notes 2006/07
Welcome to the New England pages which include images from 2006/07, 2005, and a few from 2004. Most of the images detail birds of local interest and I'll be updating the pages on a regular basis through 2006 and into the New Year. Special thanks go to all the photographic contributors to this section, and to those who have contributed their expertise. Your images, e-mails, comments and encouragement have all been very welcome.
Good luck and good birding,
James P. Smith
