The Adventurer’s Guide to Madera Canyon

The Adventurer’s Guide to Madera Canyon by Denise Sloan and Hugh Beebower is a six-page, 3.9 MB downloadable eBook PDF.

Each spring and fall Madera Canyon plays host to thousands of migrating hummingbirds and over 230 species of other birds.  This sky-island mountain retreat south of Green Valley, Arizona provides everything these feathered travelers need: a babbling creek, plentiful food and cooler temperatures than the broiling desert below.  Bears, bobcats, mountain lions, coatimundi and deer also love the area.  So too do wildlife photographers who are drawn to the area like a butterfly to nectar.

In The Adventurer’s Guide to Madera Canyon Denise and Hugh share their experiences photographing the wildlife of Madera Canyon. You’ll learn the best times to shoot, what type of gear to bring as well as some of their favorite techniques to get the shots with a special emphasis on hummingbird photography.  They’ll also tell you hazards to watch out for during your trip.

Whether you’re a professional photographer or just out exploring Madera Canyon, The Adventurer’s Guide to Madera Canyon will set you up for success.
