I think some cog list members might like this. I have not looked at it yet
but 3 people have already written favourable comments back to Birding-Aus
about it.

[Birding-Aus] A new set of graphics to assist in egret identification.
In the never-ending quest to find better, more reliable and more interesting
ways to easily and accurately identify the five white egrets we are so
fortunate to see in Australia I have created a set of "comparison" graphics
which I have loaded onto my website http://www.photos-n-guides.com/ The set
of graphics, in the form of a small gallery of images, can be found by going
to the "Herons egrets bitterns" page via this link
http://www.photos-n-guides.com/html/herons_egrets_bitterns.html and clicking
on the "Egret comparison graphics" link at the top of the choices displayed
on that page. Other links on that page go to pages containing an assortment
of identification tips for white egrets seen in Australia.
Each graphic in the "Egret comparison graphics" set consists of two species
in similar poses scaled to show approximate relative sizes and shapes. The
graphics were created by selecting birds from various digital images I have
taken over a number of years, combining them into the one image and scaling
them using proportional lengths of bills and/or tarsi. Each of the five
egret species is separately shown with each of the other four.
I have plans to add extended image galleries for the five egret species but
that will be some time down the track. Working on the website pages for
something like this takes time and diverts me from getting out to take more
photos. And working on creations such as the "Egret comparison graphics"
quickly shows me I need more images of birds in more suitable poses.
But who really needs an excuse to photograph birds.......and egrets in
particular?
