The Canadian Bird Photographer website was conceived by David Lilly.

David Is a full-time bird photographer working out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. David mostly photographs birds all over Alberta, but occasionally wonders to other parts of Canada.

David is the co-founder of the Calgary Camera Club. David instructs the Basic Photography module for the club. David has won many awards for his photography and have run his own photography workshops for 10 years.  David's philosophy toward bird photography is, the welfare of the bird must be a priority over and above the photograph.

David is a regular writer and photographer spealizing in Bird Potography for the Canadian Nature Photographer

The purpose of this website is to bring attention to the state of the bird populations through outstanding photography and great articles. Also, to show the general public the beauty and joy birds add to our existence as a human race. Without birds our existence would seem meaningless.

Conservation and protection of the birds must be top priority for all bird photographers. Ethical behaviour around bird nests and there young will be beyond reproach.
