The Macaulay Library (originally the Library of Natural Sounds) at Cornell University has some 32 million bird photos (10,356 bird species). That large number didn't discourage Living Bird and Macaulay Library staff to choose some of the best. What a plum assignment!

These are published in the Winter 2022 issue of the Living Bird (Macaulay Library's Best Bird Photos 2022). The photos feature more than 50 contributors.

The essay includes some information about the collection and information about birds. The categories are birds of many colors, birdscapes, in flight, rare moments, on the water, bird-a-tude, pair bonds, and next generation.
