This page contains digital videos I have taken of birds for use in my courses at Saint Anselm College, Manchester, New Hampshire. The clips are short and primarily intended for species identification. Some of the recordings were made in the wild and some are from zoos. They also contain specific behaviors (e.g., foraging, bathing, sunning, wing drying, etc.) that I am trying to show my students. It is an ongoing project and I plan to continue adding new species. The primary emphasis is on North American species. Click on the common name of each species to view the video.
These videos can be viewed on a Macintosh or Windows based computer with the latest version of Quicktime. NOTE - Windows users - click here to download the latest version of Quicktime to views these videos.
