 Glenn Bartley
Glenn lives in Victoria, British Columbia, and focuses almost all of his efforts on shooting images of birds in their natural habitat. He is especially well known for his portraits of rare and difficult-to-find birds from the Neotropical region and his portfolio of hummingbird images. He leads photo workshops and has published three books and several magazine articles.
We're thrilled to present this slideshow of 10 Bartley originals, along with his descriptions of the photos. Enjoy!

Marvelous Spatuletail Of all hummingbirds, perhaps none is more stunning than the Marvelous Spatuletail. As is usually the case with birds, the male steals the show when it comes to good looks. He's adorned with two incredibly long racquet-shaped tail feathers that are a beautiful shade of violet-blue, as well as a stunning iridescent crown and gorget. Spatuletails are extremely rare and are confined to a very small area in northern Peru, where they generally inhabit forest edges. | |
