Nate Chappell is an award winning professional bird and wildlife photographer based in Texas and Ecuador. I lead bird and wildlife photography workshops throughout the world through his company, Trogon Tours, Inc. - www.trogontours.net . From an early age I was interested in animals and wildlife. My father James Chappell was an excellent photographer so I was exposed to photography at an early age. I was a bird watcher before I was a photographer and have seen over 3,000 species of birds and photographed over 1,200 species. My work is represented by several of the top bird photography stock agencies and my images have appeared in the NANPA Showcase each of the past 6 years. In my wildlife photography I strive to capture the behavior and interaction of my subjects as often as possible.
