Presenter: Bruce Finocchio
2019 was a great year for my wildlife photography. I took more images than any previous year by leaps and bounds. I took a three-week trip to East Africa in February. Six days after I got back from Africa; I went to Costa Rica, my first trip to Central America. I liked it so much I went back in November.
My first long road trip with my new truck and trailer took me to South Central Oregon in late June. Where I spend six days photographing birds from my portable blind. I love this place; the backgrounds are so special. I plan to go back again this year, perhaps, taking a client with me.
In between, I photographed in my backyard, along the San Lorenzo Creek in Castro Valley, and at my beloved Ramrod Ranch, located in the Eastern Sierra de Salinas mountain range. I still haven’t finished processing all my images. I am sure there are some gems waiting to be found. Here are some that I particularly love!!!
