This workshop is not only about learning how to get birds to land on that perfect perch, but you will also get lots of action images and birds in flight. You will learn how to best utilize feeders, ponds, and bird calls to bring species in, and then how to control the situation to get that stunning portrait with the intimate pose.

We will spend up to two days working from blinds on private property. The property has a creek and a pond that hosts Belted Kingfishers. There are stocked feeders on the property along with numerous nest boxes for Tree and Violet-green Swallows, Western and Mountain Bluebirds. The feeders draw in several species of birds that we will be doing setups for, and we will also photograph them in flight. The rest of the workshop time we will be going into the field to pre-scouted locations to work on cavity nesters and birds on territory.
