Greetings

 

My name is Don Delaney. My home is in Edmonton Alberta, Canada.

 

I have been carving and painting birds for thirty years, and photographing them for the past 17 years.

 

I post my photos to share my love of birds. I try to post good quality shots and strive to become a better photographer.

 

For me the camera is the means to capture and share the beauty of birds and other living things.

Wonder why Don's photos get so many comments and he has so numerous testimonials? His great passion for the outdoors and photography keep us all coming back constantly.

Don is a wonderfully talented photographer, carver, and educator. His photographs are worthy of top nature and birding magazines. He always goes the extra mile to describe his subjects and even carefully distinguishes identifying marks between nearly identical species. It's always a pleasure to see what Don has found to photograph, whether it is out in the field or standing in his bathtub, leaning out his window to get that special shot. Don is also a wonderful contact, lavishly praising his friends' efforts. I am always happy to see him visiting my photostream. He faithfully leaves nice comments even though I rarely have his favorite (bird) subject for him to see. Thanks, Don!

I first met Don a year ago and am always happy to see him in the "field" while out birding. Don is a wonderful person, an excellent birder and a great photographer! I am fortunate to know him.

"This man has the best professional grade Bird Photography you will see. It's almost like opening an issue of National Geographic and reading an article about certain types of birds. Purely professional and amazing shots that require a lot of patience and talent to capture. Keep it up my friend. =)"

Don Delaney, in my estimation is one of the finest wildlife photographers in Canada. He is constant in both diversity and quality of his subject matter. I am honoured having him as a contact. David Burnett Winnipeg

Don has been a good friend for many years and now through his photography has peaked my interest in birds. He has generously shared his extensive knowledge of birds with me and has put me in the "right place at the right time" on a number of occasions through this winter. Thanks, Don!

Don was very helpful in finding a new location to photograph that I had driven past 1000 times. It was a little treasure hunt, but very fun and rewarding. Thanks Don!
