Held each January in the heart ofCarson Valley, this spectacular, once-a-year wildlife photography festival gives visitors and locals alike an uncommon opportunity to get up close and personal to raptors who visit Carson Valley each winter.

Carson Valley’s Audubon-sponsored weekend of tours, tastings, and teachings for photographers, birders, and wildlife lovers is a blast, in the field and at the table.
