The purpose of this website is to share photographs of Tanzanian birds and butterflies. Multiple images of the same species are included in order to show the birds in ways not possible in the standard field guides. The comments on the species pages are personal or brief points of interest. More complete information can be found in the field guides.
All unattributed photos were taken by David Peterson, Trude Peterson, Ingrid Eggert or Ron Eggert.
We encourage everyone to submit photos of Tanzanian birds and butterflies. Photographers are acknowledged adjacent to their photos and on this page. For more information about photo submission, click here.
