"As many of you know, the 'Valley' offers incredible photographic opportunities for many colorful and interesting bird species, several of which are found only along the Rio Grande. Aside from getting lots of great images of hard-to-photograph species, your choosing to visit these locations helps the landowners protect valuable habitat from development. To get a real taste of the incredible photographic opportunities in South Texas, serious bird photographers should consider planning a trip that includes at least two days at each of the ranches."

Lens & Land ranches are set up specifically for nature photographers. Portions of these privately owned properties are maintained to attract wildlife with water and feed and have established blinds to shoot from.

Find out more about each of the properties, see photos from each, and read what other photographers have to say.
