  • There are places everywhere on the map where all bird-watchers have to do is sit and wait for the birds to come. Here's a winter hot spot in Maine where the birding is wicked easy. Just sit and watch the show.

    I'm pretty sure I"m not the only person who watches these videos and dreams of birding and hanging out with Bob. Another great one, Bob! Please keep them coming!

      Yeah, this one was particularly fun. There are some other places I'd like to try for the same thing. Any place with a strong tide and a narrow channel.

    It is always nice to get the "Bob" notification...👍 It made my morning. Always informative and fun.

    Sitting in the intertidal zone in a camp chair, reminiscing about all your *other* bad ideas...🤣🤣🤣 Hope you didn't fall asleep there! 😉 Seriously, though, I love your vids, I've learned a lot from them, and I can't wait to get back up to Maine to check out some of these places you've highlighted. Can't wait for the next one!

    Amazing place! I recently filmed chickadees by a feeder and instead of trying to set my camera and tripod to their whims and quick movements, I just watched where they landed most often, set my camera on that and started filming. I let them come to me : ) And hey! Grasslands National Park is a few hours away from my home town! It's magical there!

      I was hoping my second childhood would arrive sooner, but I'll take what I can get.

    I am going through a very hard loss and your video really was the first smile I had in days. I absolutely loved the end, thank you Bob :)

    I discovered chair biding a couple of years ago. There's a lot to be said for it.

    When I get a notification of a new video by you, I get all giddy about the birds we get to see! Great little video!

      This one was particularly fun to do, and so easy. The birds really cooperated.

      It's popular in summer. But on a winter's day, I didn't see another person for 6 hours. Had it all to myself!

    I always look forward to watching your videos! You incorporate the quintessential amount of bird facts, anecdotes, history tidbits, descriptions of locations, and of course cinematography all under the direction of your apparent wisdom and hilarious wit. Remember me for your 1 million subscriber special!!

      Ha! At the rate the channel is growing, I'll get my 1 millionth subscriber 20 years after I'm dead. LOL

      thanks Bob, excellent work, as always. By the way, you are sitting in Hancock, though I guess both towns can lay equal claim to the Falls.

    • @Bob_Duchesne
      @Bob_Duchesne  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Well, that's a good point. I never know where the line is there. LOL

      We here in Sullivan like to think it’s ours, though we don’t really have access as it’s on private property

    Great video Bob, my son moved to Portland and I live in VT. We’ve birded along the coast thanks to your videos and we’ll have to get up thayer and check out this spot. Thank you for putting these together.

      They make me happy, too. I do them mostly to amuse myself.

      This one was just plain fun. I think the next one will be, too. It's winter. What else am I going to do in Maine besides shovel snow?

  • @kenbales
    @kenbales Před 6 měsíci +1

    This is the same kind of birding you can do at the Hawk Watch in Tubac, Arizona! Just set up your lawn chair and let the birds fly over you.

    • @Bob_Duchesne
      @Bob_Duchesne  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Yeah, we've got a great hawk watch and a great sea watch in Acadia National Park. I've been using that chair more and more lately. By the way - heading to Arizona in May. Loads of lifers are awaiting me there.

    Another great video. Is this place good year round or better suited for winter?

    • @Bob_Duchesne
      @Bob_Duchesne  Před 5 měsíci +1

      It's awesome year-round, though most of the ducks won't be there. Scoters, eiders and mergansers will mostly be gone. Eagles, gulls, and some waterfowl will still be around. It's gorgeous and therefore popular in summer, but seldom crowded. Since it's right on the way to Schoodic Point in Acadia National Park, I stop there often in winter.
