TRINIDAD BIRDS Photo Gallery by RAINBIRDER at pbase.com

TRINIDAD BIRDS

Bird images taken in the grounds of the Asa Wright Centre, from its famous balcony & on various trips including Caroni & Nariva Swamps, the upper Arima Valley, Aripo Livestock Station and on a trip to Matura Beach.
Some of the images are of fairly poor quality but at least will give an idea of what to expect on a visit to Trinidad. Many of the birds are rain forest species with the images being taken in low light with slow shutter speed & high ISO settings.

Hi Rainbirder, I am a Hobby-Zoologist from Austria and I work on a list of all bird species (only for myself and personal use). I want to add to all the animals in the list a picture, so I want to ask you, if I am allowed, to copy some pictures from your picture gallery by pbase in my lists - only for private use! I will not create a homepage, I will not sell the photos and I will not publish the photos - I only want to add them to my lists. I am looking forward to a permission to copy some photos, Yours faithfully GÜNTER

I have been searching the internet for photos of Trinidad birds to study for an upcoming trip. Yours are by far the best!! Thank you so much for sharing these!

Your photos are fantastic especially those of the silver-beaked tanager. It's my favourite bird and i've been searching the internet for photos but none compare to yours. You captured the vivaceousness of it's velvety plumage just right. Thanks!!! Barry
