My wife and I vacationed in the Puerto Vallarta area around Christmas time in 2003 and in Cabo San Lucas in 2005. Unfortunately at the time we weren't birders yet. We birded in Ecuador in 2016, 2018 and 2023; Honduras in 2018; Dominican Republic in 2019 and Colombia in 2020. I wish I felt safe birding in Mexico but I don't at the moment. What are your thoughts about safety? You obviously go so you must feel adequately safe.

Looks like a cool adventure! Sorry you got sick, that’s always a concern in Mexico.

Thank you so much.

Cat. Is. Very cool big flock!!!

❤😊

So glad this came up as I’m planning on going there in November. Thanks much. Earned a new subscriber. ❤

Wow, so many types of loons on Monterey Bay?! You’re in my state. You should check out the Sacramento Wildlife refuge system. A major stopover for migrating birds. Colusa is the best, imo.

0:51 Were the northern shovelers doing a mating display on the water?

cool duck!

I saw a Bells vireo there a few years back ..then saw a Graces Warbler up in Escondido.! Then one in La Jolla ! SoCal birding is great

Always one of my SoCal stops

✌👍😍

Nice variety of birds. Good job on the video.

Thank you! I bought a P1000 at my local cam store today, but there is no idea when it will arrive. After seeing this video, and some others tonight, I am going to go pick up the 950 that’s in stock tomorrow. It will save me some money over the P1000 and from what you’ve said, it will be much easier to manage out in the field. Thank you again very much!

Hey I’m in Mississippi happy to see Great Egret,Red tail hawks, and those red shouldered hawks, those are my locals, really nice video, thanks for no metal sound track.🦅

Do you have eBird

I’ve lived in Green Valley (20 minutes from Madera Canyon ) for 15 years. I distinctly remember my first trip to the canyon and nabbing a good 10 or so lifers, just like you. Wonderful place!

Looked like amazing day of Biridng! Great job capturing those peregrine falcons!!

Gulls are hard to identify due to their plumage variations

I really enjoyed this video. It's rare that I watch a video of this type all the way through but this one was well put together with good pacing and you effectively set the scene for each location with nice, interesting wide angle shots and/or drone shots. I found myself not even caring much if the footage was shaky, it just made it feel more authentic. I also like the shot of the place you stayed. Looks like it was a great trip, glad to experience a taste of what it was like.👍👍

What are the birds which are flocking on West Ski Island?

Seagulls, seagulls, and seagulls

Belated happy birthday! Day well spent birding 😊

Those motmots are stunning! Loved the grooved billed ani as well as the trogon. Just saw the elegant trogon in Portal a few weeks ago.

View from USA side

Love your videos! What's lens do you use? Your footage is great but it also seems like your lens isn't the typical giant ones either!

Anyone have a favorite bird?

Amazing❤

That's nice never bothered ❤

Go further up river towards Ft.Erie, you'll see more species.

Wrong time of year to bird in Niagara Falls. If you go in winter, you can see loads of gulls. Lesser Black-backed, Iceland (Kumlien’s and possibly Thayer’s), Glaucous, and Little Gull are all good possibilities. You may have your head down to Lewiston for Little Gull - one of the best spots on the continent for that species.

Bello pero me daría miedo 😢😢

Let’s admit the pinnacle sighting would be the mighty cedar waxwing.

Muy buena cantidad de aves viste allí, la mayoría no las conocía. Interesante video

Do you need a SUV-car or can you manage with a normal car without 4xweel?

Thank you! Enjoyed seeing Pt. Reyes and remembering our visits.

Hey Ev, I've been looking to get into wildlife photography ever since I bought this one camera from 2008 at a yard sale, and the COOLPIX seems like the perfect camera for the budget I'm on and for what I have in mind. But my question: Would you say that the extra zoom available on the P1000 makes the greater price worth it? I'm a college student so money isn't exactly plentiful, but I've been leaning on the P950. But all the videos showcasing the incredible zoom of the P1000 has me indecisive. Would you have a recommendation? -Cam

Thanks for excellent views of Madera's birds. Wish I was there right now. I think you'll want to know: Gila is pronounced HE-la.

😊I have the p950 so what would be my settings for taking a 1 minute clip of Stars with the iso at 2000mm

Thats so cool, I'm from jalisco mexico & that jay never gets close. You have to keep a far distance just to see it

If you play the swallows in slow motion you can see a thin dark strip dividing the white rump. Most likely Violet-Green Swallow

awesome bro!

Your mystery blackbird is a Melodious Blackbird. They’re endemic to Mexico and Central America.

That rooster crowing in the background was desperate to get on camera.

Please say what time of year you visit these sites.

Was just there in May.

Excellent photography!

Nice!!!

Very fun video! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for your video. We're going to Kauai in October and will be enjoying the bird life.
