Centennial Community Education

Not all birds fly south for the winter. In fact, there are quite a few that hang around all year, and even some that migrate south to Minnesota. With the leaves off the trees, limited water sources, and cold temperatures, winter bird photography can make for some great photos. The St. Croix River in Hudson WI is a great place to photograph Trumpeter Swans, Canadian Geese, and Ducks. We can get right down by the water and be relatively close to the birds. Don will discuss techniques for winter bird photography along with tips on where to find birds. We will also discuss how to protect yourself and your equipment. For this class you will need to be familiar with the different focus modes for your camera and have a lens with a focal length of at least 300mm. The area we will be visiting will be slippery, so please have Yak Trax or similar traction devices for your shoes/boots. We will meet at Dunn Brothers Coffee in Hudson WI (529 2nd St Suite 200, Hudson, WI 54016) and then head over to the river.
