Visit to Gilbert Riparian Preserve: I recently visited the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, AZ. It's a wonderful place to photograph birds, and many species migrate there for the winter.

Really like the Gambels quail. I've had a lot of difficulty getting good shots of those guys. The other shots are nice as well. Thanks for sharing these.

I know, they're quick little boogers. I have been trying for awhile to get a good shot!

Swifti, Thanks for your posts. Nice work. Any wildlife photographer, who is in the Gilbert, AZ area and does not visit the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, AZ, has made a mistake. Have more time? Check out the W. burrowing owls in Zanjero Park--Gilbert, AZ. Early morning light, before the heat of the day, remains the best.

Thank you for the tip! Did not know about Zanjero Park, but will be sure to visit next time I'm in AZ!

We leave tomorrow for a trip to Arizona, and I'm planning to visit the Riparian Preserve for the first time! I'm really looking forward to it. A friend also told me to check out the burrowing owls at Zanjero Park! Can't wait!

Great pictures! I'm planning to visit the Riparian Preserve and Zanjero Park, and can only hope to get some photos as beautiful as yours!!

I haven't been to either for a long time. The last time at the riparian park, there was no water in the ponds. I always wanted to live where the Zanjero Park is!

Gorgeous! My brother lives in AZ. I'll have to visit him soon so I can visit the Preserve.
