2019 Birds of Prey Photography Workshops

Steven Wayne Rotsch and The Three Rivers Avian Center invites you to participate in our 2019 Birds of Prey Photography Workshops on (we had to change the date) Sunday May 5, 2019, and on Saturday, October 12, 2019.

Photographers are invited to the Three Rivers Avian Center (TRAC) in Brooks, WV, for the opportunity to photograph birds of prey during the spring and fall  Birds of Prey Photography Workshops on Sunday, May 5, 2019, and on Saturday, October 12, 2019. The focus of the workshop is photographing the birds.

Professional photographer Steven Wayne Rotsch and TRAC co-directors Ron and Wendy Perrone offer amateur to professional photographers the opportunity to capture images of West Virginia’s birds of prey in natural settings.

About 12, usually shy, birds of prey will be modeling in natural settings for the cameras, including Regis - a Bald Eagle, Hoolie - a Great Horned Owl, Gimli - an American Kestrel,  Two Red-tailed Hawks, Dori - a Peregrine Falcon and more will be available during both the morning and afternoon sessions.  We also added a short-eared owl to the roster.  The difference between the morning and afternoon sessions are the natural settings where the birds are photographed.

Photographers of all skill levels will also be able to pick up technical tips during one-on-one sessions with the instructor. Once again, the focus of this workshop is photographing the birds. At least (50) fifty-percent of the registration fees benefit TRAC, a 501( c) 3 nonprofit organization.
