Hi all, I’ve spent the last few years visiting Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico, an incredible place for bird/wildlife photography. I’ve gathered quite a collection of images, so I put together a photobook to share some of my favorites. mixam.com/print-on-dem... #wildlife #newmexico

Beautiful Coues Deer Buck I really like how the light was / is hitting him in the image. He was fixated on me for about a minute and then he went on his way. Hope you like the image. Thanks for looking. #Arizona #nature #nauturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #Sony

Smile! Young Coues Deer Buck It was a warm day and the deer were panting as they still have their winter coats, it looks like he is giving me a little smile. Enjoy the day all. #Arizona #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #Couesdeer #sonyalpha #sonyphotography

A few shots to share from Saturday. We have a lot of Couse deer in my area but I've only run across Mule deer once before this encounter. It was nice to see them this weekend. Sony A1 + 400-800 Enjoy the day all. Frank #wildlife #Arizona #nature #wildlifephotography #deer #naturephotography

Happy Saturday all. Coues Deer Buck Sony A1 + 400-800mm #Arizona #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #Sony

I ran across this nice little Coues deer buck yesterday. The 400-800mm has been fun to shoot with. This is at 800mm with a slight crop on the left. I was almost able to fill the frame with the extra reach. Happy Friday all. Hatch

A shot taken with the new Sony 400-800mm lens. It arrived today, I think it's going to be a keeper. It's sharp, not all that heavy, and the focal range is great! Enjoy the day all. Hatch #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #arizona #sonyalpha

Happy Tuesday All. A young Coues deer posing for me. Take care all. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #SonyAlpha #nature #Naturephotography #deer #Arizona

Bosque del Apache in New Mexico, it's worth a trip, especially in the fall/winter months. The bird migrations take place and this is a favorite stopping point on their way south. I've put together a new photobook in the Kindle store with paper copies on the way. tinyurl.com/5n6bdudc Hatch

A shot I took almost a month ago, but haven’t shared because I thought I could get the edit better. Sharing it now because I can’t get the edit better and I can’t even remember why I didn’t like this edit in the first place… 🪶

Nice Coues Deer Buck I photographed this guy in the winter of last year, he's a big buck for a Coues deer. I was lucky enough to photograph him twice as the first time was when he was in velvet. Enjoy the day all. Hatch
