Passerida Photo Albums II
The second of two album pages provide links to galleries that display images of Passerida that belong to order Passeriformes, Taxonomic Classification note which photographed in various natural habitats. A gallery in each photo album features portraits of individual species that may include male, female, juvenile or immature birds. Also for some species, supplementary galleries show behaviours such as hunting, nesting, feeding, and mating.
