Historic photos from the National Archives and Records Administration and the Library of Congress are in the public domain and are available for download from their website.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has an excellent collection of nature photos including most common birds, reptiles, and mammals as well as plants at their digital image library You will find many of these photos in the wildlife pages of this site. You are welcome to download them to your computer, but if you go to the DLS site you will be able to download larger files which would be better for printing or similar uses. Almost all of the USFWS photos online are in the public domain and can be downloaded and used in reports and projects without requesting special permission. They ask only that you give credit to the USFWS and the photographer whose name is listed with the photo.
