Thigs are really shaping up at our photography ranch, the Rocking R6. We have added a few more blinds in some really active areas of the ranch, and we added 3 NEW ponds, by a few of the blinds. All this in preparation for photographers’ visits during the Laredo Birding Festival, Feb. 3rd and 4th, 2012. Images For Conservation Fund ( ICF ), has picked our ranch for 2 different photography tournaments, and I will be personally coaching the photographers that participate. There is some nice prize money involved, but more important, the opportunity for some fantastic images awaits 6 photographers, which is the most we will be entering. Anyone interested, please contact Images for Conservation Fund for more info. Feel free to email me or call me at 956-286-9605 with any questions.

The BIG whitetails start moving around more, making great opportunities for some nice images. The migrating bird are also starting to make their way into our area.

Spent a few days at the ranch this weekend.  The Turkeys and Quail are real active and showing off their breeding colors and “doing their thing” to attract the ladies!  The males are all doing their best to ” show off “.  Also, starting to see some “northbound” species, like ash throated sparrows, blue grossbeaks, and more…  Even the moon looks cool ! Here are a few photos, taken within the last few days.  ENJOY !!!

Spent this weekend at the “new” ranch house, viagra did some morning photography.  The afternoons were “out of the question” temp was around 102.  .  Shot a nice Rio Grande Tom “gobbling”, and a new bird for me, an Ash-Throated Flycatcher.

This weekend was filled with awesome bird photography action at our ranch. We spent the night at the new ranch house for the first time, and broke in the new Barbeque Pit. The AC, Satellite TV, and everything overall works great. It all makes for a great relaxing stay at the ranch. I got up early and enjoyed some morning photography, and 2 evening photo sessions. Spring colors and sounds are everywhere. ENJOY the birds !

On our return trip from Yellowstone, which was a winter wonderland, I visited Farmington Bay, in Utah, one more time, and got some really nice flying eagle shots.  I then visited the Sonoran Desert Museum, in Tuscon, Arizona.  What a great place,  spread over several acres.  They have alot of different species in their natural settings.  Here are a couple of images from the last few days.  Enjoy !!!

Shot some great Bald Eagle and Barn Owl images today. The weather turned sour before lunch, so we called it a day. Tommorrow morning, we’re off to Yellowstone. Should be a great WINTER shoot, weather permitting. I will post photos daily. Here is one of todays images. ENJOY !!!

Had an awesome first day, photographing Bald Eagles, here in Utah.  Lot’s of “fly by” action.  Got photos of several other species.  We shoot here again tommorrow, then on to Yellowstone.  Lots of snow everywhere.  Here is one of today’s images.  ENJOY !!!

Today, I start off on one of my favorite photo roadtrips.  Tommorrow and Saturday, we will be in  Farmington Bay, near Salt Lake City, UT., to photograph Bald Eagles.  There are quite a few Eagles there now, and look forward to getting some quality shots.  While in the area, we will visit Bear River, and Antelope Island.  Last year, I was able to get some really good photos in all of these places.  Sunday morning, we head to Yellowstone for an awesome winter shoot.  Despite the COLD, Yellowstone is a true winter wonderland with GREAT photo opportunities of the wildlife and scenery.!!!  We will be there until Wednesday.  After a stop in El Paso on Thursday, I plan to go to the Sonoran Desert Museum, near Tuscon, AZ. on friday, to shoot a variety of wildlife, including flying raptors.  I will viagra reports with photos, as time permits.  Look forward to some great images !!!
