Elegant Trogon
I have been a busy bee but having a great time. I just realized I haven’t posted any information on Bird Photography Tours and Workshops. Taking photographs of birds is one of my favorite photography adventures. Every time I’m out photographing birds I come away with a good feeling about life and the world. Bird photography helps me put things in perspective. Visit workshops on my web page www.wildlifephototour.com for more information on tours and workshops.
I lead Bird Photography Tours and workshops throughout the southwest and Costa Rica. Southern Arizona is one of the hot spots in the country with hummingbirds and Elegant Trogons in the summer and Sandhill Cranes and raptors in the winter.

During the summer months I conduct workshops at the Pond at Elephant Head where we concentrate on a variety of wildlife including baby Quail, and Cardinals etc. at the pond itself. When the light gets harsh we move under a canopy and set up the hummingbird photography studio with four flashes and the Photo Trap Photography Trigger System. We also spend time in Madera Canyon one of the Elegant Trogon hot spots. Elegant Trogons are a Neo-tropical bird migrating to the US in the summer and only to southern AZ.
In the winter a photo tour to Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area in southern AZ to photograph the 30,000 Sandhill Cranes is a blast. Many of those Lesser Sandhill Cranes migrate from as far as Siberia. On the agenda for January is a tour to Aransas, TX to photograph the endangered Whooping Cranes. I charter a boat to take just the tour to where we can get great photographs. We tour the central TX coast photographing anything we can find including the Crested Caracara, the spectacular bird on the Mexican Flag.
