I leave tomorrow to lead two sold out workshops in Ecuador and I have to say I can't wait to get back down there. It is such a beautiful country and the birds are INCREDIBLE!

I hope you enjoy this Booted Racket-Tail Hummingbird. See you in a month

Great shot, never seen anything like it. How hard was it for you to photograph?

Awesome! I've seen so many hummingbird shots that appear over flashed. This looks to be light perfectly.

Hey Glenn,

This is quite remarkable. Really well done!

Beautiful! Very well done.

Stunning as usual. Such wonderful variety of color. Looking forward to what you bring back from Ecuador!
