    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!

    • @TheDirtyBirder
      @TheDirtyBirder 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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 😂

    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.

    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

    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.

    • @TheDirtyBirder
      @TheDirtyBirder 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
