Birds of UTM
This gallery showcases a selection of the over 100 bird species I’ve photographed on campus. While some species were only seen or heard but not captured on camera, the included images serve as ‘record shots’ for identification purposes rather than high-quality, publication-ready photos. These pictures are free to use for educational and personal purposes; however, commercial use is prohibited. Click to the bird picture to get further details on each species.
