Camera Trap Photography

By Ted Heuer on March 28, 2022

A Little Bit About Me I have had an interest in photography since my grade school days. I also love wildlife and wild places. In fact, I spent a 30-year career working for the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Wildlife Refuge System. Beth (my wife) and I lived on a couple of […]
