The Cozad Ranch in early May is a great place for this beautiful and much sought-after species. Note that with the over-the-shoulder pose I have gone to a small aperture. |

This species is one of my Valley favorites. I used an off-centered AF sensor to come up with the composition that I wanted. |
SHORT NOTICE RIO GRANDE VALLEY PRIVATE WEEK PHOTO TRIP OPPORTUNITY FOR ONE PHOTOGRAPHER
I have a single photographer signed up for two days of private instruction, April 29-30. I am looking to book a few more private days in early May. We will run to the coast at Padre Island for a fallout if there are some north winds. I will be on the Cozad Ranch May 4-5. I will be visiting a new and exciting inland location for Least Grebes, Black-necked Stilt, breeding plumage Ruddy Duck, Black-bellied and Fulvous Whistling Ducks plus lots more as well as a new photography ranch. Join me for in-the-field instruction and side by side editing and Photoshop sessions. Just you and me. Includes any ranch fees and a ride with me. (Two folks? Please inquire). Though extremely short notice, this does represent a once in a life time opportunity to improve your photography immensely. Best to phone me immediately at 863-692-0906 today or on my cell at 863-221-2372 tomorrow or thereafter. Please leave a call back time and number if I do not pick up. An e-mail to me should work as well: samandmayasgrandpa@worldnet.att.net. These highly discounted private days are priced at $500 per day.
