One of the most exciting places to photograph birds in all the United States is Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. During the winter months it’s filled with snow geese, sandhill cranes, ducks of all varieties, and other wildlife that migrate south through the Central Flyway. I first visited Bosque back in the mid-90’s; I’ve been wanting to return ever since, and last month I finally had that opportunity.
Wings of Power was shot for a very special project I just finished, an international ad campaign for Panasonic’s brand new 100-400mm super telephoto zoom lens. My assignment was to capture anything I wanted, and the new lens proved to be a tremendous new tool for my wildlife work. I wasn’t able to post any of these images until January 5th, the official release date of the lens. You can now purchase the Leica 100-400mm—but be sure to check your local dealer first!
Enjoy this month’s Natural Note, and don’t forget to check the image closely to see if you can find a band on one of the birds' feet. The first one to email us the location will win a $50 gift certificate for Amazon.com.
Be sure to download your free copy of Wings of Power with this month's calendar attached. You can also license or purchase a product featuring Wings of Power.
