Tour Details

The goal of any visit to Bosque del Apache is to produce an eye-catching portfolio that captures the essence of this special place. That means tight shots of flying birds of course. It also means portraying different kinds of motion and directions which will require a thorough knowledge and understanding of not only your camera and it’s functions, but how the photographic essentials of light, movement, composition, along with patience and perseverance, will help you expand your technical skills to enhance your creative projects. Helping our clients produce a diverse portfolio is the goal that we have each year when we lead our Bosque del Apache workshop.

Bosque del Apache is world famous for its concentrations of migratory birds. Our group will have access to a core area of nearly 13,000 acres for photographing birds and other wildlife. This beautiful setting provides habitat and food for as many as 14,000 Sandhill Cranes during the winter months. Cranes begin arriving in November and stay on the Refuge as late as the end of February. The Refuge is also home to over 32,000 Snow Geese and Ross’s Geese, as well as dozens of Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, Avocets, the occasional Pelican, and many other birds. Coyotes, Mule Deer, and Mountain Lions also are found on the Refuge.
