Texas 2004 Hill Country and Big Bend National Park photos

Click on the small picture to see a larger, more detailed version. I toured the Texas Hill Country and Big Bend National Park on an Otus Asio tour led by Mark Korducki. The tour was organized by Jan Hansen (dba Otus Asio Tours otusasiotours@bellsouth.net). Jan leads a variety of trips, all of which I would recommend.

Jan Hansen organized and Mark Korducki led a trip to the Texas Hill Country and Southern Rio Grande areas in April 2003. I extended the tour into the Del Rio and Fort Davis areas. The 2003 pixtures are available. Jan Hansen organized and, with Mark Korducki, led a trip to the Texas coast and Southern Rio Grande areas in February 2001. Those pixtures are also available.
