NOTICE: Photos on this page are fine-tuned for Apple's OS X 10.6 Macbook Pro computers.  Images might appear very slightly bright on Windows machines (despite the equivalent gamma setting), and will likely appear much too bright on earlier Mac OS X machines, due to the issue of gamma correction.  See section 16.2.4 of my free online book for a discussion of gamma factors and how they affect bird photos when viewed on the internet.
