Back in April Gary and I made a trip out to Arizona to visit a place called "The Pond at Elephant Head". The pond is located in the town of Green Valley and is owed by Bill Forbes. The pond is a great place to photograph birds, butterflies, mammals and insects. Its a fantastic place to bird watch and it is close to Madera Canyon.


The pond itself is about 8 by 16 feet, Bill provides you with movable blinds so you can do both morning and evening photography. Bill also has many great perches that you can move around and position anywhere you like around the pond to get just the right background.


Bill's rates are very reasonable and there is a small cabin on site that you can stay in for a small fee.

All in all its a great place to photograph birds and Bill is a very accommodating host.
