We go to So Texas for the birds. It’s hot, the birds come to water to drink and bath, the ranchers provide watering holes for the birds which in turn provides us photographers with amazing photo opportunities…
Common Grackle
Painted Bunting
But, their hospitality goes way beyond opening their ranches to us. They graciously open their homes to us as well giving us a cool, comfortable place to download and work our images during the hottest part of the day. They share their extensive knowledge of South Texas with us regaling us with wonderful stories. We instantly feel right at home and soon become friends with these wonderful people.
Harris Hawk
Curve-billed Thrasher
Scaled Quail
I want to thank the Martin’s (John & Audrey and Patty Raney their capable guide), the Weaver’s (Kent & G’Anne), Steve Bentsen of Dos Venadas for sharing their little slice of heaven with us and the Jackson’s of Campos Viejos (Richard, Nora Nell & Hardy) for sharing their wonderful home and food with us. I’m already looking forward to a return visit next year.
