These great horned owls have been
fun to photograph for the past decade. With a nest located in a grove of
Cottonwood Trees, the owls live above a two acre size opening that provides
perches, cover, and prey for there growing family. While at this location there will be opportunities to
photograph a multitude of songbirds as they travel to their breeding
destinations. There is a very small pond fed by a drip line
with cattails and cottonwoods around it that act like a magnet for
birds. I've shot more than 40 different kinds of songbirds
- from Cedar Waxwings to Townsend's Warblers. |
To ride with me we meet at 5am at my home if you are coming from the
north, or 6am in Bakersfield, or 7am in Mohave, for the drive into the mountains
on the eastern side of the Sierras. The weather can be
cool, with the day usually warming into the 60's. Also, it is
advisable to bring a lunch, and a camp chair can be handy as
well. There is a $25 gas split if you ride with me.
The deposit is 50% via check, Paypal, Venmo, or credit card, and
the balance is due halfway between the deposit date and the
safari date unless you are booking within 3 months, then
full payment is due. Check the main safari page for other
info. Link |
I've spent my 40-year wildlife photography career shooting
in the American West. The first 24 years shooting out of
Utah, the past 16 years out of California. The photo
safaris that I lead are all to the best locations, at the
best times, during peak wildlife activity periods.
