The images available for free here on OBA are well sized and should be good for any web based or home crafty kind of purpose. For those who need much larger images, for publishing or or larger projects or anything else, I have them for sale on Alamy as individual figures with all text removed. I earn money on Alamy sales through this link, and you can see the entire portfolio here: The De Kay Bird Page at Alamy.
