February 18-23, 2020
$2495 USD
$2495 USD
The birdlife in Florida is simply awesome. The birds are big, friendly and full of color. During the Spring breeding and nesting season, many spectacular species concentrate on nest building, attracting members of the opposite sex, and feeding their young and thus they ignore people. This allows us photographers to GET CLOSE - which is a great thing when it comes to photographing birds. We'll point our cameras at a variety of herons, egrets, storks, ibis, spoonbills and other wildlife as we tour the best bird places in southwest Florida. This tour proves popular every year - and for good reason - participants get EXCELLENT images. Travel with an area expert who knows exactly where to be to get the best photos.
Includes
- 5 nights accommodations.*
- In-depth photo instruction and leadership from a professional photographer and area expert.
- Guided sunrise and sunset photo sessions every day of the tour.
- The advantage of traveling with a like-minded, small photo group who doesn't mind waiting in order to get the best photos.
- True small group (maximum of 8) which facilitates even more learning and inspiration.
- Group and/or one-on-one image critique and photo sharing sessions.
- Classroom type discussions and learning sessions.
- Tons of fun.
Single Supplement: If you prefer a single room the single supplement charge of $395 will apply.
Fitness Level: Low - short walks over level ground or boardwalks. Be prepared to walk with photo gear up to 1 mile roundtrip.
Not Included:
