Free pictures of coastal and oceanic birds are available for downloading. A section on recommended books about these birds is in the rightmost column.

When we think of the oceans and coastal zones, we usually don't initially think of birds. Yet, once we arrive on the scene, it is very clear that not only are there many kinds of birds, but they are often in great abundance. They make their living in many ways, from digging in the sand for particular animals to skimming across the open ocean hoping for a chance encounter with dinner. Birds range from gifted predators to scavengers, and to thieves. Many birds have adapted well to the ever-increasing human presence in the coastal zones and on the high seas. One always must wonder what seagulls ever did before there were landfills!
