A photography blind built for the birds.
At the Suites — designed with professional bird photographers for clean backgrounds and beautiful morning light, and available to suite guests as part of their stay.
Made for photographers
Ramsey Canyon has long been a haven for birders — and now for photographers too. Tucked into a secluded spot on the hillside above the Suites, the blind was designed in partnership with the professional bird photographers of Sabrewing Nature Tours, with every detail considered: a favorable light angle, clean backgrounds, height-adjustable feeders, and a selection of natural perches — including native plants — that you can swap in during your shoot. A variety of foods is provided to draw a range of species. This is a morning blind; afternoon light angles aren't favorable.
Inside the blind
At 16 feet wide by 6 feet deep — about 96 square feet — the blind comfortably holds up to six photographers, with a ceiling over six feet. Inside you'll find seating with backs, a rubber-matted floor to dampen sound, hooks for gear and jackets, and a handy ledge for teleconverters or a coffee. Camouflage window panels slide to hide movement while keeping the feeders in view, and seat cushions, seed, and suet are stowed in the bin.
Sessions
The blind is on the suites property and is available to guests staying in the suites — Tanager, Oriole, or Eagle's Nest — as part of their stay. Mornings are the time to be up there, from about 30 minutes before sunrise until 2 PM, and suite guests may use it upon making prior arrangements with ownership.
Arrange your session
The photo blind is offered to guests staying in the suites by prior arrangement with the owners. Give us a call before or during your suite stay and we'll set up a morning for you.
