When you visit Fort DeSoto you will understand why it is voted one of the "best beaches" in Florida. It's no wonder that it draws birds (and people) from all over. But, even on the busiest beach days, the photography is outstanding! And what better time to visit than spring where shorebirds, wading birds, migrants, raptors and many more flock to Fort DeSoto and we will be there to photograph them as they go about their daily business of eating, bathing, preening, flying and displaying.
Join me on July 7-16, 2010 when we visit Fort DeSoto to photograph a wide and wonderful variety of shorebirds, wading birds, raptors with a special emphasis on babies! The mating season is over, the eggs have hatched, we'll go in search of babies... with a special treat at a Spoonbill rookery!
In addition to photographing the colorful birds of Fort DeSoto, we will visit additional locations known for their plentiful variety of birds.
What a great place to hone your photographic skills from birds in flight to belly on the ground, eye level portraits and everything in between.
Some likely subjects include…Great Egret, Reddish Egret, Snowy Egret, Tri-colored Heron, Osprey, Great Blue Heron, Brown Pelican, Royal Terns, Sandwich Terns, American Oystercatchers, Black Skimmers and too many shorebirds to name.
The $2150.00 price includes five days of photography, expert instruction and guidance in the field, transportation to shooting locations each morning and afternoon, midday critique/workflow/Photoshop sessions geared towards the group's interests.
But, wait, there’s more… I have lined up a special treat for our group to go by pontoon boat in Tampa Bay to visit a spoonbill rookery one day and to a special fresh water rookery on another day where we will find egrets and herons, anhingas and cormorants plus much more in very close proximity. Limited to five photographers.
