Introduction – January 1, 2009
Greetings and happy New Year everyone!

In a few days I am heading down to Ecuador for a 5 month nature photography expedition. I will be travelling all around the country with one mission – to photograph as many of Ecuador’s amazing birds as possible.

My plan is to start off in the highlands in the northwest part of the country. I will then make my way south and visit some of the Jocotoco foundations reserves. Next I will spend some time in the eastern foothills before heading deep into the Amazon rainforest. Afterwards I will spend a few weeks on the coast and in the western lowlands. I will then head back into the Andes to visit a few more reserves in the highlands before returning to Canada.

Every chance I get I will post images and updates to my travel journal here. You can also find video blog postings, a larger gallery, and my travel journal on my website – www.glennbartley.com

I look forward to sharing this experience and the photographs that I create with you all.
