Winter is a great time for raptor photography, especially in the warmer south because a lot of the raptors migrate there. Although Colorado is not necessarily a good place for raptors in winter because of the cold weather and snow, prairies and grasslands are still good to hunt rodents here.
Next weekend I’m planning to visit New Mexico’s Bosque Del Apache with my buddy Sergey. Although the migration season is over, I’m hoping to perhaps capture some of the early spring migration/mating. I haven’t planned out the trip yet, but it will definitely be a long drive (over 8 hours), so I need to work on getting a hotel booked, along with getting a list of hot locations in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and other beautiful towns.
