Photos of birds on nests

[Tonya Haff <>]

Hi all,

I'm passing on a request from Mike Jennions, who studies sexual selection and parental care here at ANU. He is looking for a couple bird photos to include in a chapter in an upcoming book on parental care, to be published by Oxford University Press.  Since there are so many fantastic photographers on this list I thought I'd email and ask you all if you might have any pictures you're willing to share.  

Mike is looking for picture of sexually dimorphic birds, and in particular:

1. Photo of female with eggs or nestlings
2. Photo of male of same species  (portrait type)

The species doesn't matter, just as long as the male and female look different enough to be told apart by non-birders.

There is no money available to pay for use (it is an academic book), but if you care to share photos and he uses them, you will be acknowledged in the chapter and Mike will send you a PDF of the chapter with their photo, once the book is published (mid 2012).  So you will at least get fame!  He also needs written permission to use the images (email is fine).  

If you have some photos you are willing to share, you can contact Mike directly - his email is .

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Tonya
