trogon tours UPCOMING TRIPS

UPCOMING TRIPS

Ecuador May 28-June 7, 2010
DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE - We are now offering late registration discounts for this tour. Please contact Nate by email or phone for details. Professionall photographer Ken Archer will be joining this trip as a co-leader so this is a chance to learn from 2 excellent bird photographers in some of the most bird rich areas in the world. We will have a full time Ecuadorian birding guide along as well so this trip is great for birdwatching also. You can see the details at www.trogontours.net/ecuadormay . An extension to Sani Lodge in the Amazon from June 7-12, 2010 will be led by Ken Archer.

Some participants on our January trip to Western Ecuador have sent me some photos which I have included in a new gallery. The hummingbird mutli-flash shots were taken with a Canon 100-400 zoom and a Nikon 300mm lens proving you don't need a monster lens to take advantage of my hummingbird setups. Their shots can be seen at www.trogontours.net/hummers4 .

Malhuer Oregon, April 28-May 2, 2010
This trip is currently full.

Washington Shorebird Workshops
May 8th and July 31st, 2010 - Please note these are corrected dates.
I've added 2 one day workshops to photograph the migrating shorebirds at Tokeland on Willapa Bay. Ken Archer will be joining me as a co-leader on these trips. To get an idea of Ken's breadth of talent as a photographer he usually photographs birds and mammals but is also a prior first place winner of the landscape category in the Nature's Best Photo Contest. The price of these workshops is $195 per person. To view the details and some photos from Tokeland please see www.trogontours.net/washington . Minimum of 2 participants, maximum of 6 per trip.

NEW TRIP: Bosque del Apache, December 4-8, 2010
Nate will be leading a workshop to Bosque del Apache NWR in New Mexico. Bosque is one of the top bird photography locations in North American and a major wintering ground for Sandhill Cranes, Snow Geese and Ross's Geese. Last year's trip was very successful - we had some beautiful sunrises and sunsets to work with and plenty of cooperative Sandhill Cranes. On this year's trip the excellent Slovenian photographer Gorazd Golob will be co-leading and bringing a group from Europe. Gorazd has been on one of my Ecuador tours and he's a very knowledable photographer. There are currently 5 spots reserved and 3 spots open. To see the details of the trip, please view www.trogontours.net/bosque .

Thailand
January 9-23, 2011
There are currently 5 spots reserved and 5 spots open for this tour which will visit 5 different National Parks and Sanctuaries in Central and Northern Thailand. The itinerary can be viewed at www.trogontours.net/thailand.

Spring is around the corner, wishing you one filled with many birds and photographic opportunities.

Best,
Nate and Angie Chappell
