Birds of South Texas

May 1-6, 2012 - So Texas Birds: Full $2950.00

The bird photography in south Texas is hot, and I mean hot!  So are the temperatures… which is why the photography is so hot.  You know the saying “If you build it, they will come.”  Well, it is true in south Texas where several ranches have joined together to create a haven for birds in the hot weather and where photographers flock to photograph the birds. Photographing from blinds, we are very close to our subjects.  Join me for a week of photographing some of the most colorful and amazing birds in North America in this little corner of South Texas.  Located right in one of the migratory flyways, birds stop over to rest, eat and refresh themselves in preparation for the long flight north in the spring.  Shooting every morning and evening from the comfort of blinds the chances of adding many new and varied birds to your files is a no brainer.  Let me share this bird photographers paradise with you and help you to capture some outstanding images in the process. 

Likely species include but are not limited to: Plain Chachalaca, Green Jays, Scaled Quail, Harris’s Hawks, Crested Caracara, Long-billed and curve-billed Thrashers, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Great Kiskadee, Scissor-tailed Flycatcher and too many more to name. 

The fee includes: 6 nights lodging & meals at a private ranch (double occupancy), transportation to and from locations and instruction both in the field and during breaks.  Limited to five photographers.
