Title: First Post - A few birds to share...
Post by: Glenn Bartley on September 29, 2010, 05:36:48 pm
Hi everyone,

My name is Glenn Bartley and I am a nature photographer from Victoria, BC Canada. I specialize in photographing birds in their natural habitat. Here are a few images that I thought I might share to get things started.

If you like them please visit my website at - http://www.glennbartley.com

All the best!

Glenn

Wow, those images really are as fine as any of the best bird images I've seen.

The Tufted Coquette looks like a species of hummingbird to me.

Surely they do not reside in Canada (http://www.johnkoerner.org/Emoticons/laugh.gif)

Welcome.

The Tufted Coquette is indeed a hummingbird. They live in South America and Trinidad...

Thanks for the kind words guys!
