Kansas Rare Bird Photo Gallery
Welcome to the gallery of Kansas bird rarities. Many of these photos
are of bird sightings that have been submitted to the Kansas Bird Records Committee
(KBRC). We encourage all Kansas birders to document birds that are on
the KBRC review
list. If you have photos that you feel deserve to be on this page,
please contact
or
Chuck Otte.
NOTE: All copyright remains with the photographer. If any abuse of this
copyright comes to the attention of the webmaster, all photos will have to be
severely reduced in size/quality, or removed entirely - a great loss to
all.
