How to catch an osprey– in 6 easy steps.
First step- borrow a great photo from David Sikes’ archive of great bird photos. Next, sketch a basic design. Then paint the background and drop in the rough images of the bird. Finally, give the raptor a fat redfish for supper.
Caldwell talks about leaving the coast better than you found it.
In a recent Rockport talk, Caldwell featured three of the Texas Coast’s most effective conservationists, Ben Kocian, Chuck Naiser and Ron Kocian. A video of Ron Kocian’s WARRIOR’S WEEKEND is attached. Click on Ben Kocian’s red shirt on the left.
