Winter Bird Photography: Finding a Birding Hot Spot
ฝัง

- Today I heading down to a small lake that is surrounded by forest. This has proven to be a good habitat to find winter birds in the past so I wanted to head down there again to see what I could find. This area has a shallow lake that is surrounded by shrubs and forest which is great habitat for waterfowl and winter song birds. When I arrived at the location, after a slight detour with a northern harrier, I was not disappointed. This was definitely one of the best riding locations that I have been to in a while with dozens of birds foraging on bright red winterberries.

There is a road I hike about 5 - 6 times a year. And I see the same Harrier family every time that they flight right over and around me. Its pretty awesome. My favorite animal. Just repeating and where pretty much the same clothes they come to recognize me. Makes for great shots.
Sounds like an amazing opportunity! Thanks for watching!
Some very nice images! Thanks for taking me along!
Thanks for watching I'm glad you enjoyed!
Great shots and great to watch the videos. Do you know what shrubs with the berries are as they seem to be liked by the birds. I’m in UK.😀👍
Thanks for watching! The shrubs are winterberry bushes, they have bright red berries in early winter here and are an important food source for the birds still moving through the area.
Nice video. Good birding to you… from Oregon.
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed!
A fine day in the outdoors, Todd.

Thank you and thank you for watching!
I like your videos. Basically I try to make kinda same style videos here in Finland. Nice video and Robin photos are very good 👋
Thanks for watching! I'll be sure to go and check out your page and your videos!
All these channels all like to talk the talk .
Yet i've not seen one actually mention anything about Gloves .. That are waterproof , keep your hands warms and allows you to operate the live screen with ease .
I'm not sure if such a glove exists. I have tried photography gloves but they either do not keep my hands warm or they do not keep them dry. If you find gloves that work let me know because my hands are always cold! I have been using mittens that can expose my fingers recently and they have worked well. Allows early access to controls and dials and keeps my hands warm when there is a break in the action.
@@ToddDeWaldPhotography Haven gone through a multitude of gloves even at one point wearing 3 pairs ,,, . Finally found a paid that does the job ..[ IMO ] Dakine cost me 80 from TISO on Buchanan St , Glasgow . They are a 2 part glove .. outer which is waterproof and the underglove .. which allow me to operate the live screen .
