NEW TOUR - SOUTHWEST ECUADOR (RUTA DEL SOL)

December 3-15, 2011

Join Nate and Angie Chappell, Ken Archer and Jairo Sanchez for a trip to the sunny, dry part of Ecuador. This part of Ecuador is excellent for photographing waterbirds and we'll photograph flamingos, boobies, shorebirds and many beautiful smaller birds on this tour. In addition to bird photography it will feature beautiful beaches, snorkeling and other activities for non-photographer spouses and companions. To view the details of this trip please see www.trogontours.net/ecuadorsw . Ken Archer will lead an optional extension to Sani Lodge in the Ecuadorian Amazon from December 15-19, to see some of my photos from Sani Lodge, please see www.trogontours.net/ecuadorgallerysani .

TRIP UPDATES -

Thailand - January 9-23, 2011

We have 8 spots filled (including 5 photographers) and have 2 spots open for this wonderful tour. Take in the wildlife, birds, culture and cuisine of Northern and Central Thailand with us. This is the best time of year for birds in Northern Thailand as the winter visitors are down from Northern Asia and the weather is usually dry and sunny at this time of year. To see the details of the itinerary please view www.trogontours.net/thailand . To see some of Nate's photos from our fun and successful tour there in January of 2009, please see www.trogontours.net/thailandgallery .

We had a wonderful time on the 2010 trip to Malheur. Ken Archer will be a co-leader and the trip is limited to 4 participants to ensure personal attention. The highlights include lekking Sage Grouse, nesting Great Horned Owls, Wild Horses and many waterbirds. To see the details of the trip please view www.trogontours.net/malheur .

This is a new workshop featuring the numerous Bald Eagles which are attracted to spawning sculpin at low tides on Hood Canal, WA. Up to 100 eagles are in the area this time of year making for great flight and action shot opportunities. We will have access to public and private tidelands. In the afternoons we will photograph Wood Ducks and other species in Lakewood, WA. Ken Archer is a co-leader and there is a maximum of 6 participants. As with all of my trips there will be a first day presentation on photographing birds in the wild and question and answer period. For the details, please see www.trogontours.net/eagles .
