John, there are several good pictures at 
http://www.bsc-eoc.org/avibase/species.jsp?lang=EN&id=C6ED80886DDBC9D0&ts=1213657146255&sec=flickr

Click on the small pictures to see a larger version.

Most of these are copyrighted, so they shouldn't be used commercially, 
but I believe it's OK to use them for educational purposes.

I'm sure there are other pictures on the web, but these are especially 
easy to find.
