If you’re a bird lover like me, you probably grab your camera and lens, on a regular basis, and head out onto your favorite trails, or even your backyard, to grab a photograph of any rare feathered friends that you might come across. My Dad was an amateur photographer who loved to get up in the early morning any time of year, to get great shots of his favorite bird species.

But even if you don’t have a plethora of gorgeous birds nearby you can still enjoy this magnificent collection of Bird Clipart. No nest boxes or suet feeders required! The bird archives at The Graphics Fairy are extensive and it was difficult choosing favorites for this post!
