Week 3, #5

I have been investigating Flicker, and have created an account. I have learned this is a great site for pictures of all types - nature, places, people, etc., which can be searched easily by tags. I was interested in the "bird" photos, as I am spending my vacation in the place where I grew up. When I go to a different location, I am always interested in the various birds I see. Growing up, we always heard owls at night, so I am linking to a photo of burrowing owls. These are not the type of owls we usually see here, as the ones I am familiar with live in tree nests.



I read in the photo guidelines about the need to obtain the photographer's permission to download photos of persons. Does this apply to all photos, including those of animals, landscapes, places, etc.?
