There is going to be a new Florida bird photography tour this November. The focus will be on shorebirds / wading birds at Fort Desoto park. I created many of my awarded image there! The date is November 16th-17th. Send me an email at steven@stevenbirdphotography.com to book your spot 🙂
The beauty of this location is that pretty much anything can happen: from the rare shorebird to the elusive white morph Reddish Egret.
