Bird Cinema – a New Site

Posted by Rosemary Drisdelle Aug 6, 2007

Bird Cinema, a web site full of bird videos and pictures, was launched in May 2007. Its purpose is to create a place for a community of bird photography enthusiasts, and to be educational, informative and fun. Still young but already bursting with great content, this site is terrific.

Both bird pictures and videos have channels, so you can look for things in a category of interest to you: seabirds, song birds, shore birds, birds from the Middle East and lots more. I watched a Meadowlark singing, an Allen’s Hummingbird visiting red flowers, and two Waved Albatrosses dancing. All these videos were fascinating. In the pictures section, there are some amazing pictures too: an Osprey catching a large fish, a kingfisher with a fish in its beak, a pair of Dark-eyed Juncos against a snowy backdrop and many many more.

You don’t have to become a member in order to view the videos and pictures on Bird Cinema, but membership is free—and it allows you to participate in forums and in groups of friends and to post your own photos. If you’re a bird photographer at all, you’ll want to sign up.

I’m going to be visiting Bird Cinema regularly. Maybe you will too, but be careful—I think it’s going to be addictive. Here’s the link to Bird Cinema. Enjoy.
