Block Creek Natural Area

Join me at the Block Creek Natural Area from April 22-25 to enjoy some fine bird photography, excellent food and camaraderie with fellow photographers. As of this posting, there are four slots available on a first come, first served basis. See the Instructional Photo Tours schedule at my website for more details and then contact me at lditto@larryditto.com to register.

Black-chinned hummingbirds at Salvia blooms and other flowers can be captured with my high speed flashes and your camera & lens.

There are several nice landscape opportunities including this little red barn near the Block Creek Bed & Breakfast where you will stay.

Block Creek owner, Larry Jay, and I photographed these pairing Scissor-tailed Flycatchers as they hunted and bonded near the Block Creek B&B.

Most years, my photographers get some spectacular “birds in flight” opportunities.
