There are 55 photographers who have contributed bird pictures for the Visual Identification Test database. Unfortunately, they must remain anonymous. Some of the contributing photographers have their bird pictures posted on their personal and/or professional websites and we don't want birders simply viewing those websites and studying the pictures. But to all the photographers who have contributed, we want to say "Thank You!", for without your contributions, the Birder Certification program would not be able to exist.
