Incredible capture for both you and the bird. I wonder how he’s going to eat the big fish. Lol.
@@jenniferdacreativeexplorer (it’s a she) lol but she gave up on it and just let it die 😂 such a waste
@ I guess even wildlife wastes food eh? lol.
this was a really cool series. TY❤
@@dant.6364 thanks for watching!
I learned so much!
Are you an artist? ❤
@@MichaelKensingershe made me so yes.
@@TheDirtyBirder hahahahahaha
A fellow central PA birder!
Absolutely! Glad you managed to find the channel!
I've got a similar shot. She was eating, flew to take a break, "made some room" while sitting on a light post. I got the shot and she flew back to continue eating.
Shes like "did you get that?"
@@HughGrunt haha I can’t tell if she’s more proud or embarrassed
Beautiful
@@Movingonup2 thank you!
Bro this is so beautiful why is there only 19 likes😢
@@KongkongTintin just the way it is sometimes lol.
Thanks for joining!
Nice to walk with you.
Keep the faith you’ll succeed. I look for owls always in PA where I live and have have not seen one either🙏🙏🙏
Hey there how can I do this the website isn’t going into full context
Love this competition! So glad this video was recommended to me as a fellow east coast birder too :) Cheers!
thanks for watching!
Thank you for being so respectful of the owls! Well Done!
@@VirginiaStevens-v9p thank you!
You did a great job. I am an equestrian, in Massachusetts. They are funny birds. many times they fly right across my path. It is always breathtaking! Silent.
Great video. Thank you for doing this and bringing awareness to the Duck Stamp program.
You bet!
Thank you for bringing awareness to the most important conservation program in the world! 🦆 🦆
Thanks for telling me about it!
Bruh, you need another light on your face or loose the hat. It looks like you have the silly disguise of the fake nose and glasses 😂 Just givin you shit, lookin forward to more videos!
If looking like mr. Potato head is entertaining so be it 😂
Cheers Joe - great content! Missed your videos, looking forward to more!
Thank you! Much more to come!
great video man, i noticed this wild duck too they very sensitive in water movement thats what i observe while im inside my floating hide.
Great video buddy. Blue-wings for the win!
I see owls all the time.. I see a breeding pair of barred owls often & i have a great horned owl that lives in my woodss
No
Subscribe…..I’m owl lover beginner . Thanks for the tips.❤😊
Thanks for watching! Hope I could help 😊
Great video!😃 I love photographing the warblers during migration in Florida 🙂! You got a great variety! It's always nice to get a few lifers😊😊
@@Eaglediva thank you! 😊
Great video, thanks for sharing. And I look forward to Part 2. I was at Presque Isle in March and saw so many Scaups and Mergansers! An amazing park.
I actually was able to get some ruddy duck photos the next time I went up! Just such a great place for all kinds of wildlife up there. Thanks for watching!
Ribeye of the sky
My favorite bird.
Nice! Definitely cool to see one!
Great video! Im recently into wildlife photography, and know there are quite a bit of owls in my region. Your video is really inspiring! Cheers from the village of Fiskars, Finland!
Thank you I appreciate that!
Ok your design is so much better then mine time to rebuild mine now lol
Haha well you just need a Rick and it makes it 10x easier. Would have taken me so much more time and stress if I wouldn’t have had some help with it.
1.2k view and only 36 views wow yall are bogus the man spent 10 times the time it took you to watch to make this video least we can do is give him a thumbs up! Great video man I'm a subscriber now.
Haha I appreciate it! It’s tough punching through the algorithm sometimes but slow growth is better than no growth so I can’t complain!
I enjoyed seeing how you worked with the floating blind. After another frustrating season trying to get waterfowl from shore concealed, I think I will have to take the plunge, and it is sure to be a cold plunge up here in NH! Love the pied bill grebe stuff!
Thanks John! I should mention I’m looking into getting a “drysuit” instead of a wetsuit next year, I was pushing my limits with the cold pretty much every day using the floating blind and it would just be nice to avoid that for the most part and focus more on why I’m there which is to take photos. Also, once I saw the pied billed grebe come up with a leech in its mouth while I was sitting in the same water made me a little sketched out that I wasn’t completely sealed 😂
Respect for the dedication and effort here. I'm generally happy to shoot from a blanket on floor by the shoreline 😂
Thank you! I wish that would work for me lol. I guess I got to the point of no longer being able to justify waking up that early and going through all the effort if it didn’t give me a better chance of not being seen.
Great shots!
Thank you! ❤
Love it - way to keep it real and put out some quality content!
Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed it!
I followed a most unusual birdsong through the woods for almost an entire summer trying to get a good sighting, long before cell phones and digital cameras (1960s probably) and that species is now one of my favorites: The Northern Parula Warbler. It's last few notes are so high and shrill I imagine he looks like Sylvesters Tweety Bird straining on tippy toes to get the last of it out!!! Do you have them where you are? I'm in north, central Florida.
Yeah we get lots of parulas during migration!
Birds are cool.
Cool video! You are so fortunate to have so many owl species in your area!
That I am! Though sometimes it does feel like they aren’t here at all lol
@@TheDirtyBirder haha I bet! I am inspired though - I will try and go out and look for an owl this week! I have never seen an owl in Norway although I know they are hiding nearby
@@mariaulvw I wish you good luck and hope you can use at least some of what I had in this video to help you out!
Attended a seminar on ethical owl photography for those who might be wondering how you can tell you're giving an owl enough space, and why it's important: 1) The eyes. If their eyes are wide open and staring right at you, they are not comfortable. they are high alert and stressed. If they're squinted or straight-up closed, that's a good sign that they're not bothered. 2) The plumage. If they are puffed up, they're probably stressed 3) Their position. An owl not facing you directly, looking around, or even with its back turned is a chill, happy owl. Even with its back turned, it knows you are there, and has decided it doesn't feel threatened. A stressed owl can very quickly turn into a dead owl. It's not healthy for them to be on high alert like that, especially when so many folks are crashing into their space. Plus, you stomping around their feeding grounds can make hunting more difficult. Don't stay too long, don't use flashlights directly at them or flash photography, be responsible in your own actions and be responsible in who you share information with regarding an owl's location
Yes! Absolutely. I should have added these to the video. I will probably do an updated video in the future and add this information in with it because it is important for people to know along with the other things I covered in the video. I’ll pin your comment until then!
Nice info
Love it! Great work
Thanks a ton! Stay tuned for this years migration video! It was a good one.
“The dirty birder”
Thank you so much for this. I’m as amateur as they come and have become obsessed with owls. Imagine my surprise that a bird photographer is having as rough a time as I am! This is how little I’ve understood about it. There’s an orange screech owl in a sycamore at the park near my house, my first time there I actually saw 2 but came to discover it was beginner’s luck. I do think there’s great value in being quiet in nature and just observing. This was very helpful and I admire your tenacity. I’m pretty relieved not to be an owl photographer! 😂🤣😅😂
does that handle extend out to about where Canon's grip is? That is one thing I would miss leaving Canon as I have big hands and every other camera is uncomfortable to handle with its smaller or a lack of a grip.
It does leave you with a deeper grip but like I mentioned in the video, if you do have bigger hands or wear gloves you may find yourself having a hard time with your fingers potentially getting stuck between the lens and the grip.
April fools day mean this can be a fools 😂😂😂😂
It was posted two days ago 😂
Thank you! You know what would be awesome? I follow alot of you professional wildlife and nature photographers and it would be awesome if I could go on a wildlife and nature photography trip with one of you guys for a whole weekend 😀
Haha I’m more of a hobbiest than a “professional” wildlife photographer. Definitely open to going out with other people though! Just need to bring your blind.
Can you upload video on batteries. How many do I need and what kind
You’re talking about batteries for the Sony a7rv?
@@TheDirtyBirder I have a canon rebal t7
