The City Birds Desktop Wallpaper Section was doubled in size on February 29, 2008. All desktop backgrounds now accommodate older 800x600 resolution monitors as well as monitors at higher resolutions up to and including the newest high resolution LCD wide screen monitors.
Photo Gallery Thirty-eight features a series of photos illustrating the typical gray, cold Spring-Summer weather San Francisco is famous for. This weather pattern begins around the first of March and extends through the end of August when two to three months of "Indian Summer" with blue sky, sunshine and warm temperatures arrives. Although day after day of this type of weather becomes oppressive to those living here, the respite from heat is undoubtedly appreciated by many visitors to the City. Photo Gallery Thirty-eight was first published November 16, 2007 by City Birds.
On November 1, 2007, we added three new graphics to our Featured Birds Section. Included are Sharp-shinned Hawks, House Finches, Crows, the United States Navy Blue Angels, and more. We hope you find them enjoyable and insightful.
All Videos by City Birds are now available to view and/or download as MP-4 movies. Optimized and tested for iPods, they also play well using Quicktime.
We have published a short Fleet Week 2006 video on YouTube. Friday, October 6, 2006 was foggy with light rain when the U.S. Navy Blue Angels practiced for the weekend shows. During the practice they flew low and with care. It was a unique experience. You can check it out here.
Also, we have another YouTube video entitled, "Tribute to America's Fallen," which you can see here.
We have established a new Slide Show Section. This gives us an interesting and new way to present you with expanded coverage of things we show you in our galleries. Also, we will use slide shows for publishing special collections. Although the slide shows are Flash, clicking on a picture you want to download will make the picture available to you in our standard gallery size.
We endeavor to show you some of the things you may not see during quick guided tours -- things which just may entice you to return to the City of Saint Francis and enjoy the beauty to be found here often.
Please note: If you are using a dial-up connection with an accelerator; be aware that the increased speed is accomplished by compressing images and graphics.
For this reason, our high quality will not be evident to you unless you can turn off the accelerator, empty your cache and return. Without accelerators the downloading is slower. But if you want to enjoy City Birds VHQ graphics, you may find it worth the time.
Privacy Statement City Birds Multimedia does not compile ANY information about our visitors. We don't offer you adware, spyware -- nothing but scenes of San Francisco including the birds which call the City home. You get the privacy you deserve at City Birds.
