Question: Why are some images "freeware" and others copyrighted?
Answer: Some birds are very difficult to find, and some are even harder to photograph. Some photographers must work a long time to get that single perfect shot. Some photographers also make their living on these amazing images that you enjoy. We thank everyone that contributed to "For The Birds."
