If you have been thinking about getting down to the coast to try finding some of our beautiful coastal birds and photographing the sights, please join me on January 8-10 at Rockport.\u00a0 I still have two spots available and we have a boat reserved with a knowledgable captain to guide us right up\u00a0to the birds.\u00a0 Each morning we will be on the water photographing whooping cranes and other coastal birds like roseate spoonbills, pelicans, osprey, and many other species.\u00a0 Then, we’ll drive to\u00a0area locations for more birds and some of the local landscapes including harbors, marinas,\u00a0 fishing boats and such.\u00a0 It will be a great retreat after the holidays and you’ll have a lot of fun with other photographers of like interests.<\/p>\n

Here are some samples of bird photos taken the past two winters on these tours.\u00a0 If you are interested, check out my photo tour schedule on this web site or contact me at lditto@larryditto.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
