The mission of St. Petersburg Audubon Society is to promote and provide environmental education and, through responsible activism, protect, restore and preserve natural ecosystems for both people and wildlife.
St. Petersburg Audubon Society (SPAS) has begun
an energetic project to collect images of all avian species on our county
checklist. It does not matter whether you reside in Pinellas County,
are a member of SPAS or if the photos were taken in an area outside of the
county. We welcome images of these species from photographers, worldwide. This
is an optimistic effort related to the intersts of birders and photographers,
alike. We need your bird photos!
We are requesting all photgraphers donate images to
a collection reserved by SPAS for use in promotional and educational programs
sponsored by SPAS. These can be timeless loans, donations receiving defined
value (for tax purposes) or outright gifts. It's up to you. All images remain
the property of the photographer unless designated a donation or gift. All
images, regardless of submission condition, will forever be copyrighted/credited
to the photographer when in print or display. The ultimate goal is a library of all avian species found in Pinellas
County, Florida. Duplicates of a species are welcome.
All image submissions must be digital and no less than
300 dpi. Images may be submitted by the following methods:
Later, a visual guide to the birds of the county
will be designed and made available on the SPAS web site. Further applications
will include brochures and other printed educational materials produced by
SPAS.
We realize this is an optimistic project, but in
light of the superior images appearing daily in our emails, it is obvious that
there exist great, definitive photographs by an abundance of talented
photographers/naturalists. We hope you will consider becoming a part of this
effort. We will keep you up-to-date on the efforts to stock our image
library.
