Florida Birds & Wildlife - Guided Photo Tour

February 27- March 4, 2025

The birdlife in Florida is simply awesome. The birds are big, friendly and full of color. During the Spring breeding and nesting season, many spectacular species concentrate on nest building, attracting members of the opposite sex, and feeding their young and thus they ignore people. This allows us photographers to GET CLOSE – which is a great thing when it comes to photographing birds. We’ll point our cameras at a variety of herons, egrets, storks, ibis, terns and other wildlife as we tour the best bird locations on Florida’s east coast. We’ll photograph the AWESOME feeding frenzy of Osprey and various Terns diving for fish after fish. We’ll witness nest building and chick-rearing sometimes from mere feet away. Join my guided photography tour and capture it all!

The Pantanal is one of the most biologically rich environments on the planet and includes the highest concentration of Jaguar and Caiman in the world.

Colorado Fall Color - Guided Photo Tour

October 1-6, 2025

The fall color in Colorado has to be experienced to be believed. Yellow aspen trees turn entire hillsides to gold. The deepest blue skies you can imagine compete for attention with jagged, snowcapped peaks. The colors, shapes and patterns are as awesome and as beautiful as nature gets. The mountains and natural areas we’ll visit are some of the most spectacular locations on Earth, and when you add in the amazing colors of autumn you won’t find a better place to be with a camera during the fall season.

Ecuador Birds & Wildlife Guided Photo Safari

Next Possible Dates: November 2026

Ecuador is one of only 17 MEGADIVERSE countries in the world. What that means is that Ecuador contains a huge number of species compared to most other places on earth. This small South American country can boast over 1600 bird species including an incredible 130 species of hummingbirds. We’ll concentrate on photographing birds of all types on this tour while staying at exclusive wilderness lodges where the wildlife action is non-stop. We’ll have access to, and learn how to use, multi-flash set-ups for hummingbirds – all equipment provided. Plus we’ll photograph tons of other species of birds and mammals as well as insects, flowers and anything else that we find. We’ll spend time with professional nature guides who will lead us right to the birds and animals and we’ll sleep and eat all meals at wonderful eco-lodges the entire time.
