Bosque del Apache’s “Flight of Enchantment” workshop

Private or small group workshops to match your schedule...

Join me in the Land of Enchantment at one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. People from around the world visit Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico to witness the breathtaking spectacle of tens of thousands of geese and sandhill cranes taking flight against the New Mexico sky. 

Why Attend? 

Whether you are drawn by the spectacle of tens of thousands of sandhill cranes, Ross' geese, snow geese, and other avian species, or simply wish to experience the unique sunrises and sunsets of New Mexico, this workshop offers something special. The Bosque del Apache NWR truly embodies New Mexico’s motto, "The Land of Enchantment," making it a one-of-a-kind destination. 

Workshop Details: 

Bosque Birdman will lead you on a journey through the refuge. No workshops can take place during the Festival of the Cranes. Details can be found here: https://friendsofbosquedelapache.org/festival/ 

Your custom itinerary will be shared upon registration. You will create many fond memories and capture images that you’ll be proud to share with friends. 

You will need to travel to Socorro, NM to start your tour. All expenses outside of the actual instruction, touring and Refuge access will be your responsibility. 

Each morning, we will meet at the hotel and depart for the Refuge. I will be available for image reviews and critiques upon request. Participants will also have the freedom to explore the photographic opportunities in Socorro independently while still benefiting from critiques

I will give you information on where to stay and where we will meet once we have your registration in hand.

My workshop is different from most in the following ways…

1/ I work with individuals and small groups allowing for better photographic and learning opportunities.

2/ I am a local and long-time resident. Almost all the workshops at Bosque are led by photographers from out-of-state who don’t know the ins and outs of the area like I do.

3/ My groups are full of inspiration, kindness, happiness and joy. If you join us you will have not only portfolio-quality photo opportunities, but great fellowship.
