BIRDS AS ART BULLETIN 125
As many of you know, the "Valley" offers incredible photographic opportunities for many colorful and interesting bird species, several of which are found only along the Rio Grande. When I first worked with Roel Ramirez I was thrilled to have a chance to photograph the Mexican specialties like Green Jay, Long-billed Thrasher, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Chachalaca, and White-tipped Dove among others as well as a host of migrant and wintering passerines (like Phyrrhuloxia and Lincoln's Sparrow) from his feeder-blinds.
Aside from getting lots of great images of hard-to-photograph species, your choosing to visit these locations helps the land-owners protect valuable habitat from development.
I recently had the opportunity to photograph on the ranches of Jane & John Cozad and John & Audrey Martin.

With all the improvements that John Cozad is making, there should be many good opportunities to photograph both adult and young Caracaras.
The Cozad Property, Linn, TX
At the Cozad's my primary targets were Harris' Hawk and Caracara. John Cozad is really serious about attracting photographers to his property and was willing to work with me to the nth degree, and the Cozad's were fabulous B&B hosts. I did well with the Harris' Hawks and upon leaving, made several suggestions that should improve the photography for both species. There are two (very large, portable) blinds and both species of raptors are attracted to the perch tree with deer and javelina carcasses. In addition, there was a wonderful pond right by the house that I did not discover until the morning I left. There were lots of passerines--including Greater Kiskadees--flitting about and it seemed like a great place to work in the early morning. |
