Red-billed Tropicbird (Trinidad and Tobago)

[Glenn Bartley]

Another bird that I could not wait to photograph in Trinidad was the Red-billed Tropicbird. Having seen them before but never been within photography range I was amazed at the opportunities that Dave Hemmings and I had down there. What a place!

Hope you enjoy this one :)

What a tail! Lovely bird. Nice wing and tail position. It's a new species for me. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Very interesting species, TFS. Excellent flight pose, love the wing span and the curve tail. I might back off sharpening around the edge of the bird a bit.

Beautiful shot, Glen. I'd like to see the high res version as I imagine it's "KILLER"!

Nice flight image looks like the 7D is working well for you. Great exposure on the whites. Neat composition.
