Every photograph on this site is available as a fine art print — from the Golden-cheeked Warblers and Painted Buntings of the Hill Country to Rio Grande Valley specialties like the Green Jay and Altamira Oriole, Gulf Coast shorebirds, West Texas hummingbirds, and rarities you simply won't find in a stock catalog. Each image was photographed in the wild by me, Bryan Cotter, an Austin-based bird photographer, and printed from the full-resolution original — not the web version you see here.
With more than 390 species photographed across Texas — and over 500 species seen statewide — this is one of the largest single-photographer collections of Texas bird photography available anywhere. If you're looking for wall art of a specific bird — a Northern Cardinal for the kitchen, a Great Horned Owl for the office, a Roseate Spoonbill for the beach house — chances are it's already in the galleries. Wildlife beyond birds, too: butterflies and dragonflies, Texas landscapes, even a Big Bend black bear.
Prints are made from the original full-resolution files, color-managed and inspected before they ship. Signed prints are available on request.
When you buy a print here, it comes straight from the person who was standing in the marsh at sunrise. You get the story with the picture — where it was taken, what the bird was doing — and you're supporting the fieldwork that produces the next photograph. These are real Texas birds in real Texas places, not composites or AI images.
A print of someone's favorite backyard bird — or their hardest-won lifer — makes a genuinely personal gift for the birder, nature lover, or Texan in your life. If you're not sure which species to pick, tell me a little about them on the contact page and I'll suggest a few favorites.
The collection is organized by family and by region — songbirds, raptors, hummingbirds, shorebirds, owls and more in the galleries, or explore by place on the Texas hotspots pages.
