Marauders Outings

Join us Wednesday January 15th, 2025 for a fun afternoon outing of birding, nature, landscapes, and camaraderie with fellow photographers.

We are heading to the Ladd S. Gordon Waterfowl Complex, about 50 miles south of Albuquerque.   The Address is 164 NM-116, Bosque, NM 87006

Let’s meet at 2:30pm at the first 2-story viewing stand, on your left after you enter the main entrance.  Earl Schwers and Mike McGovern will be the co-hosts for this Outing.

Optional dinner on the way home at about 5:30 pm at La Dos Gringos in Belen

The Marauders are a group of individuals who participate in monthly photo outings (mostly on  Wednesday) to locations in or near (within a 1 hour drive) from Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Attendees are members of the Enchanted Lens Camera club, and their invited guests. Marauders outings are communicated by Club e-mail.

The Marauders    

–  Offer a monthly outing in and around Albuquerque, usually on Wednesday

–  The regular monthly outings will usually be outdoor venues, although there may be opportunities to go indoors. There may be additional outings, above and beyond the regular monthly outings. These bonus outings may fall on a different day of the week then Wednesday.

Barry Schwartz and Earl Schwers, are the Marauders Co-Chairs.  Team members are: Stephen Foiles, Laura Munzlinger, Carla Chirigos, Jan Ward, Mike McGovern, and Tom Kilroy.  

We encourage members to post their Marauders images on Flickr, in the Marauders Group. You can join the group by following these instructions:

Once you have joined Flickr, go to your new home page.  At the top of their page there is a search box that says “Photos, people, or groups”. Enter “ELCC” and then click the “groups” drop down. You should get all of the ELCC’s Groups with those letters.  Click the join button for the “ELCC Photo Sharing Group” and Tom Kilroy will approve your entry to the group when he gets the Flickr’s auto email.
