Bears of Lake Clark
June 17–22, 2028
Tyonek, Alaska, United States
This is our most popular bear destination in Alaska. We fly from Anchorage in a small plane to our comfortable lodge in Lake Clark National Park to photograph coastal brown bears and their spring cubs. This time of year they graze on sedge grasses and dig for clams on the mudflats. The bear density in this area is remarkable. We will also photograph Horned Puffins on a nearby island and search for Trumpeter Swans on local lakes.
Bosque and White Sands
November 29 – December 3, 2028
San Antonio, New Mexico, United States
Bosque del Apache in New Mexico is one of the best places in the world to photograph sandhill cranes. The cranes fly into Bosque’s “Crane Ponds” each afternoon, sometimes silhouetted on a blood red sky. This is the perfect time to photograph the birds parachuting into the ponds…..they look like they are suspended in air. During the morning first light, the Bosque “blast off” provides the chance to shoot thousands of snow geese all taking off at once.
Antarctica Photo Expedition
December 14–27, 2027
Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Explore the Antarctica Peninsula and travel below the Antarctic Circle with Tom and Cree. We will celebrate Christmas on the 7th continent as we explore remote areas of Antarctica filled with penguins, whales and stunning landscapes. We expect this workshop to fill very quickly.
Alaska Black Bears
August 7–13, 2028
Wrangell, Alaska, United States
Join Tom and Cree in Wrangell, Alaska to photograph black bears feasting on pink salmon in the rainforest. We will photograph bears for at least two full days at the Anan Wilderness Area. On other days we will look for marine animals like Sea Otters, Stellar’s Sealions, Humpback Whales and Harbor Seals. We explore the towns of Wrangell and Petersburg and visit one of the most active tidewater glaciers in Alaska, the dazzling blue LeConte Glacier. If the weather is clear, we will eat on the outdoor deck by our hotel and wait for bright orange sunsets to light up the distant islands.
Texas Songbirds and Raptors
February 6–11, 2028
Edinburg, Texas, United States
Come join us for warm weather bird photography from the amazing Laguna Seca Ranch in South Texas. We are going in February when the largest number of raptors congregate at the ranch. It is possible to see more than 50 Crested Caracaras, Turkey Vultures, Black Vultures gathered at one time. In addition we regularly see Harris Hawks and White-tailed Hawks at the ranch. With so many raptors in one place, it is easy to photograph interactions between raptors and even species of raptors. Because of their larger size, raptors are more easy to photograph than some of the faster, smaller songbirds.
Alaska Eagle Photography
November 14–19, 2027
Haines, Alaska, United States
Every fall in Haines, Alaska bald eagles congregate along the Chilkat River. A fall salmon run attracts these magnificent birds, resulting in the largest gathering of bald eagles in the world. Their numbers are staggering. More than 3000 eagles arrive, and it is not uncommon to have hundreds of birds in trees across the river. This is a bucket list trip for wildlife photographers. Imagine listening to the constant chattering of bald eagles while viewing multiple birds in your camera viewfinder feasting on salmon. Amazing!
Alaska Northern Lights
February 23–28, 2027
Fairbanks, Alaska, United States
Learn to photograph the Northern Lights at the famous Chena Hot Springs Resort in Alaska. Join Tom and Cree on a winter adventure in Alaska where there is always a warm place to relax after photographing the colorful night sky. We spend 3 days at Chena Hot Springs and 2 days in Fairbanks photographing the aurora every night possible. We also visit an Ice Bar, photograph ice sculptures in a snow covered forest and try our hand at dog sledding.
