Through the lens: A tribute to the birds of the Bay

Ever wonder what was left on the cutting room floor? These photo galleries combine some images that made the book together with many more that did not make it into the final book—whirling flocks, intimate portraits, sassy skirmishes—that together, reveal an even more layered and textured view of the Bay Area’s bird life. Some galleries dive into the science of color—while others capture the rhythms of daily life, from the precision of a hunt to the freedom of flight. Think of these as visual side trails, leading to deeper connections with our region’s birds.
