There are approximately 10,000 bird species on this beautiful planet. Here at 10,000 Birds we expect to not only see but eventually photograph or write about every single one! (We’ll get there eventually…) Anyway, we have a serious interest in photography to go with our interest in birds and bird identification. We’ve consequently amassed a rather large collection of photos, and rather than hide them away on our hard-drives we’ve decided that you may like to see them instead. Almost all of the galleries linked to on this page are of a single species (mostly birds, but we also point our lenses at insects, mammals, herps, and plants) and contain between three and fifteen different images and (often) a short bio – just click on the species you’d like to see pictures of and you’ll be whizzed to the gallery in moments. Please note all photos are copyright Mike Bergin or Corey Finger (unless otherwise specified in the posts). Photographs are compressed to make pages load more quickly. We add galleries to 10,000 Clicks on a regular basis, so please don’t think that if you had a look last month, there’ll be nothing new. Also note that we explore a wider variety of birds in greater depth throughout the site, so check out the blog and our Birds page.   BIRDS NON-PASSERINES CASUARIIDAE – Cassowaries and emu
