Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge

and

White Sands National Park

I recently had the opportunity to visit New Mexico and photograph the Wildlife at Bosque del Apache and then head south to one of the newest National Parks—White Sands National Park.

The sheer number of birds at Bosque del Apache was overwhelming. The views of White Sands National Park were not only stunning but so unique. We felt like we were visiting the moon.

Jersey Shore Birds

I discovered the Rookery at the Ocean City, NJ visitor center where one can experience hundreds of nesting birds as well as birds constantly flying in and out of the area. The Edwin Forsyth Wildlife Refuge in Galloway, NJ has an 8 mile loop to drive/walk around to experience a beautiful birding paradise.

Hiking in Andalusia, Spain 2024

This Spring I had the opportunity to spend a week in the Andalusia region of Spain with my good friend, Artie and several other hikers from Great Britain and the U.S. We hiked throughout the countryside, the Olive Groves, and along the Caminito del Ray (which was quite scary). Our guide, Miguel Newcomb, was fantastic—he made sure everyone was safe, properly geared up, and had fun. It was an awesome trip.
