CAMPOBELLO - Secret Birding

Campobello is a Canadian island just across the border from Maine. It's home to Roosevelt-Campobello International Park, and loaded with great birding and fantastic scenery, but few people know about it. Campobello is famous for tidal currents so strong, the largest whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere is right around the corner. Whales and seabirds come from all over the Atlantic to feast in the turbulent waters.

Love all the tree talk and general trivia. Nothing better than opening TH-cam and seeing that a new Bob Duchesne video has dropped.

Campobello's nature looks kinda similar to scandinavia!🌲, it's so cool, and the bird species too🐦🪶

My envy is palpable! How I miss that area....the whales, the Old Sow, havent been on Campobello in a dogs age! The last time I was there was probably with you, at least in part, more than a decade ago. Thanks for the vid!

Great historical, educational and birding video

[@MRIVERSSC]

Just the best. So glad this channel exists.

this is my dream trip 🥲

[@CC-re1pu]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!

[@kevinharding2099]

I’ve been to Campobello, but never to bird. I had no idea how much I missed. Thanks.

Wonderful informative video! Great scenery, history & love the birds. Btw, Dale Calder, a native Campobello Islander, has a very nice YT channel. His content is more domestic- good recipes, gardening, chickens, staying in his small cabin on his property, walks with his lab. Highly recommend.

My home town!

Great video!!! Looks like a piece of heaven!!
Going to have to put that on on list for next spring or fall.

[@Bob_Duchesne]

For a rollicking good bird adventure, try the Down East Spring Birding Festival. It spans both sides of the border.

This place looks amazing! I really want to go there!

[@Bob_Duchesne]

The funny thing is, it really IS easy, yet few people know about it.

[@darylbernard2616]

OK, now I wanna go. I promise I won’t tell anybody.

[@PM2024-]

How is it I’m just hearing about this guy?? He’s awesome!!! Bob, when are you coming back to MDI? 🌲

[@Bob_Duchesne]

I think I'll wait until after all the hurricanes pass. That said, I'm overdue to get back up to the hawk watch and out on Bar Harbor Whale Watch. Both could really use a northwest wind for a change.

Great video once again Bob! This place seems really special thanks for sharing! Awesome hearing about the Sabines Gull, what a good bird.

[@birdman5223]

👍👍😎

Hi Bob! Could you tell me what kind of video recorder and camera you use to get such great footage and photos?

[@Bob_Duchesne]

A year ago, I bought a Canon Vixia HF G50, which is now my primary camera. Some panoramic and closeup scenes are shot with my other favorite - a DJI Osmo Pocket Plus 2.
