It’s only been a few months since we started the Nature Canada Flickr Group, but in that time, hundreds of fantastic nature photos have been added to our pool! From those photos, we have selected some of the best bird photography and created an online gallery that’s worth a visit.

Can you identify the bird species in these photos? Have you come into close encounters with them in nature? Add your comments and observations to each photo and share your knowledge! To join the conversation, you must have a Flickr account.

If you have photos of nature that you would like to share, add them to the Nature Canada Flickr Group and it could be selected as the Photo of the Month. Make sure to tag it with “POM”!
