    Hi, Tony,  Delightful  and  very  interesting  to  a  fellow  amateur  photog  living  in  Courtenay.  I'm  a  long  way  down  the  ladder  from  your  expertise  and  industry.   Many  thanks  for  inspiration. however.  March  has  been  cold  and  grey  with  limited  sea bird  variety.  There  are  a  few  fairly  good  photos  on  my  blog.  PhotoTonyG.blogspot.com. There  is  another  Tony G  here  who  is  very  good.  He's  a  member  of  the  Camera Club.  I  suspect  you  could  know  him  and  Mike,Y. your fellow  800mm  lens  user in  Nanoose.  Just  got  a  first  L  lens..70 - 300  so  images  will  improve  with  the  quicker  AF  and  better  image quality.  Noticed  you  on  Fred M's web site. Thanks  again.  I  enjoyed  your  sea  of  eagles.  Hope  to  get  good  eagle  flights  when  the fish  are tossed  from fish store on Dyke road. Tony Robinson

    Just wanted to let you know you take some fabulous shots!! I stumbled on the FM site a while back and although I'm not registered, I check it most every day. Your work continually amazes me, and the Raindrops flicker is stunning. Maybe if I keep looking, some of the genius you display will rub off!! Keep up the good work!!

    Hi Tony, I second Sabine, I'd love to buy a bunch of the other shots of the hummingbirds from the Fred Miranda forum in the 4x 6 format. Do you think you will ever have the rest for sale?

    I just moved the England and there are no hummingbirds here. I would love to put up a bunch of the pictures to bring a little of home and color with me.

    Thanks for the amazing shots.

    Tony, your hummingbird shots are the most amazing I have ever seen! Cute Overload posted the link to Fred Miranda's forum on which you have 38 photos posted. Unfortunately, not all of those are for sale on this website. Is there a chance you could make more of the shots available for sale? I would love to purchase some of them.
    You definitely have a gifted eye. Thank you for making them available to view/enjoy/buy!

    Hello,
    A friend recently forwarded to me a number of your hummingbird images, which I marvel at. However, there are a couple of pics of them on a fountain and they appear to be dead - lying on their backs. Is this the case?
    • 1 year 5 months ago
      Thanks. No they are not dead, they are simply rolling over on their backs when they bathe.

    A friend just sent me your link and I am very impressed with your eagle shots. I live in Courtenay and like you I love to photograph eagles, nature and wildlife.
    Would you please tell me where you took the images of the eagles and what time of year.?
    If you do then maybe we could meet up there.
    Please visit my web site at www.DerekVallintine.com Thanks

      Sorry Derek, but I do not reveal the exact locations to anyone. The images were taken at different times of the year, over a period of 5 years. All images were taken from blinds.

    Hi Tony, just found your site!! wow. We are the house in the Estuary on Northwest Bay Road. We have Bed and Breakfast suites here. We are constantly recording the sites of wildlife we see all year long, as we are located right beside the Federal Wildlife Reserve, and can see from the Nanoose Naturalist website, which is so awesome, that some of our sitings are different from theirs. We will contact them as well, but you are so welcome to observe sitings and visit our propery any time to take photographs. The site from the Naturalists club is amazing. This is exactly what we were hoping to promote to our guests. We hopefully will be in connection with you and the other members. Kind regards, Marianne and Harold Robinson @ Inn The Estuary Bed and Breakfast/ Vacation Rentals.
