Spotted Towhee at the Desert Photo Retreat, near Tucson, Arizona.
Having fun with a Spotted Towhee on this rainy Sunday. This is a new species for us this winter – now I just need to get it up to a better perch.

Had a great time in beautiful Sedona, Arizona where I did a couple presentations for the Sedona Camera Club. It was fun! This will the third of five presentations scheduled so far this winter.

My Camera Trap Photography Setup
Camera trap setup, Desert Photo Retreat, near Tucson, Arizona.
A lot of people have been asking about my camera trap setup, and how I’m able to get the animals to face me. We here are some photos. I built a temporary wall to not only protect my camera, but to limit access to the water hole. My camera is in the wood box, and I have wireless flashes in the two plastic containers.

This is the view from the other side showing the water hole. On the left you can see my trigger which here I’m using a Cognisys Sabre which has a very sophisticated LIDAR (like laser) system. If you want to learn more, I’m offering an ongoing workshop where I cover many of the aspects of camera trapping, and then we set your camera up for the night. You should come away with something as we have multiple visit to the water hole each night. Last weekend I had a guest come away with two gray fox and a full moon in the same frame! For more information: Camera trapping photo workshop.

Javelina Morning

Yesterday morning. At this point, they had already knocked down my flash on camera right, and within a couple of frames, they would knock down my fancy LIDAR (like laser) trigger system. Too bad as the sky really lit up after this.
Gray Fox at the Water Hole

So last night I moved my camera trap setup to in front of the waterhole at my upper blind. This fox was sure curious.
