Title
Cursorius Photo & Video Library
Description
The name 'Cursorius Photo Library' was adopted in 1995. Cursorius is the Latin name for the genus 'Courser', a group of birds from the deserts and semi-deserts of Africa and Asia. Logo was designed by Leo JR Boon.
The first published photographs from the 'Cursorius Photo Library' appeared in Birding World (Vol 9:3) in March 1996 and in Dutch Birding (Vol 18:2) in April 1996.
The four photos in Birding World, made by Leo JR Boon, were accompanying an article about 'Birding in Israel' by Sean McMinn and Hadoram Shirihai. The photos in Dutch Birding included the first ever published photo of Cape Verde Purple Heron (Ardea bournei) photographed on the Cape Verde Islands during an ornithological trip by Theo Bakker.
