Hi Don;
How do I do it (Photos).
I live half the year in Costa Rica and Half the year on eastern Long Island, N.Y.
Some of these photos were taken just outside my house in Costa Rica...
I have several Bird Feeders and I wait for the Birds to be on a branch (And NOT the Feeder) to photograph them.
As I type this...I'm having my breakfast watching Several species of Birds with a View of Costa Rica's largest Lake & in
the distance Volcano Arenal. Yup...Paradise & Especially a Nature Photographers Paradise.
That's why I give Photography Tours here ;-)
Hope you enjoy the photos.

These are NOT Expensive to capture.

Thank You for the Kind Words :-)

Thank You All for the nice responses. And "No" releases were signed or even offered to the Wildlife...Sometimes Food but NO Releases ;-)

Thank You.

Thank You.

Being an Adventure & Photography Guide here in Costa Rica you get to see some pretty exciting Natural events with Wildlife in their Natural Habitat. I just wanted to share some of the photos with this group.

I've been to The Masi Mara a few years back. Loved it then! BUT now it is The Disney Land of African Safaris :-( Way too many Tourists and way too many Tour Operators wanting to get Their Clients that "Perfect" photo angle to capture that Perfect Photo. This October I went with my wife, for almost a 3 week Self Drive in Namibia. (Bring your husband and Kids)... There are several ways to go... Self-Drive Camping or Self Drive Lodging / Glamping or Group Busing Tours (Not recommended) :-( Their huge National Park (Estosha National Park) has two "lodges" and camping "within" the National Park and Several options just outside their gates. Inside the National Park (it's over 100 miles of roadway) are areas (waterholes) where the animals gather everyday and photo opts are Unlimited. (You DON'T need a Photo Guide). In the almost 3 weeks we traveled throughout this country we met only 3 other Americans. Mostly German tourists. It was one of the friendliest countries I've been to. There are Soooo Many photo opts. in this country. The Desert Dunes, the South Atlantic Sand Dunes the animal rescue centers and the Several Private Reserves. I'm looking to go back for another Adventure to that country, but NOT for 3 weeks BUT for 3 months! It is that Impressive and Yet really undiscovered by the American traveler... If you want you can checkout some of the photos on my Facebook Page..."The Real Costa Rican Adventure" and go back on the page a little to the photos on Namibia... You'll LOVE It there!
