ale Bargmann is passionate about birds, and he likes nothing better than to photograph them in their natural state. To date he has photographed 271 species, over half the 420 species that live here in the Edwards Plateau region, as documented by Texas Parks & Wildlife. We met up with this talented Kerrville resident at the Riverside Nature Center, one of his favorite spots for photographing birds. His intrigue with the camera began at an early age. “My interest in photography started while observing my father take photos on family vacations across the U.S.,” Dale said. Over the years, he honed his skills and is now well known and respected for his captivating photographs.
