As I have been building this website over the past couple of years, I have needed many Canadian Wildlife photos, for example some of the lovely pictures of
Cardinals
, some of which I have taken myself over the years, but others I have had to purchase to make sure I got exactly what I wanted.
These pictures came from various sources, which I am going to list here.
If you are building a website, or just would like pictures for your own enjoyment, check out the links below.
For example, at
iStockphoto
, you can find around 2100 pictures and graphics of Wolves, 1700 pictures of Canada Geese, 150 images of the Common Loon, and many more.
