Tucson Bird Alliance: Southeast Arizona Birding Festival – Bat Photography at Pond at Elephant Head

The desert comes alive at night and the Pond at Elephant Head offers the perfect opportunity to catch it in action with your camera. Bat migration is happening during the monsoon season and offers an amazing experience. Join Wildlife Photographer, Dano Grayson for an evening of photographing bats and other wildlife at this private photography location. Weather conditions play a large role in bat photography and we cannot guarantee success. Please email Stephen Vaughan at [email protected] if you have questions. Important Equipment Needed for this Workshop: Camera with telephoto lens of at least 300mm along with tripod and shutter release cable. Limited to 8 participants.

Difficulty: Easy. Most of the time spent in photography blinds.
