Favorite Bird Photography Venues?
I haven't seen anyone ask about, or offer, their top five or ten photography venues. It may be that folks are reluctant to disclose their favorite spots. But I would be curious to hear from anyone who chooses to play, and to start things off here is a list of my top five, with ten more below that. It's tough to choose them, or to rank them. I'm defining "favorite" as the places where I feel I'm most likely to come home with the greatest number of keepers of a number of species on any given day. In some cases I've only visited a place once but was so taken by it that I put it on the list and hope to return. To keep things simple for me, I have limited my list to places in North America. Others will have different parts of the world, I'm sure. If I had added Costa Rica, or Iceland, or Botswana, it would have been impossible to make a selection. Anyway, here are my top five, with ten more approximately ranked, below those. I hope others will chime in; I would love to here where you go. Perhaps there is a better forum to post this. If the mods think there is a better forum for this, please move it.
