Bird Photography: The First Birds of Spring | Nikon Z9

Today I head back down to a forest pond to see what wildlife I could find and photograph. I was here last week and has success finding ducks, bluebirds, and beaver, so I wanted to try to set up in a different spot to get some different angles. When I got down there I switched gears as I found my first Eastern Phoebes of the year foraging along the edge of the pond. I set myself up along the banks and was able to photograph them as they were foraging. It was really nice to be able to sit and watch these birds in action. It is always a nice sign of spring when these birds arrive.

The misty blur around the Pheobes is very poetic…nice textured verticle striations as well.

You really got some beautiful images. I love the way the backgrounds turned out! Well-done!

[@ToddDeWaldPhotography]

Thank you, I really liked the colors as well. The reeds and the colors reflecting off the water really made it unique! Thanks for watching!

AMAZING King Fisher clip…AWESOME work🎉🎉

[@ToddDeWaldPhotography]

Thank you! I wish I could have gotten more of her, it was a perfect perch!

[@johnwelchphotography]

Todd, I appreciate your enthusiasm for the common critters of New England and how you elevate them through your artful clips and stills. Your videos have a peaceful feel. Great job with that intro piece too by the way. We still don't have our resident pheobe's up here in NH.

[@ToddDeWaldPhotography]

Thank you I appreciate it! I have always loved watching phoebes. Even though they are a pretty drab looking bird the way they can maneuver to catch insects is amazing. They are on their way up north because we just got our swallows this week too! I saw your preview for the Gannet colony video, looks good!
