The purpose of this website is to share our photographic record of many species of Tanzanian birds. When available, multiple images of the same species are included in order to show the birds in ways that are not possible in the standard field guides, including activities such as feeding, drinking, displaying, flying and nest building. There are images of males, females, juveniles, immatures, and chicks. The comments on the species pages are personal or brief points of interest. More complete field information can be found in the standard guides.
All of the unattributed images were taken by David Peterson, Ingrid Eggert or Ron Eggert.
We encourage anyone to submit images of Tanzanian birds for inclusion on this site. Photographers are acknowledged adjacent to their images and on this page. For more information about image submission, click here.
