  • In the latest edition of our bird photography vlog - we capture incredible images of several songbirds during the annual spring migration at Point Pelee National Park.
    On day one, we manage to photograph over 60 species of birds!

    My wife doesn't really care about birds...or photography, but it's nice to find some kindred spirits who get geek out over the bird pictures they get. I love that thrill of getting a shot. I'm really partial to raptors, and here in Oklahoma, I'm lucky that I can find them pretty easily most times of the year. I don't know that I've ever had a 60 species day, but I do love when I come across something new that I haven't seen or photographed before. Anyway, I just stumbled upon this video, and I know I'm late to the party, but I just subbed and I'm looking forward to catching up on your stuff. =)

    You guys have inspired me to get out and see how many speces of birds I can find in my area (Illinois). I'm getting a nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 soon! Keep up the great work guys.

  • @tekguyphoto
    @tekguyphoto Před 6 lety +1

    Every weekend I plan on getting out maybe drive to the shores of Lake Erie but I only end up in my back yard photographing local birds. I got to get out - ok next weekend for sure. Glad to see others are enjoying and having fun. Keep on shooting.

    Awe geez ! What an amazing trip ! BTW, the Black Throated Blue Warbler is my nemesis Warbler. We actually had a rare vagrant come to Northern California last year, everyone and there grandmother was going and getting great shots of it. But I couldn't find time to squeeze in the 4 hr round trip, and missed it :( My life won't be complete until I get that bird ! :) TY for the cool video :)

    Awesome. New vlog camera is a win. There are so many Baltimore Orioles in Ontario this year - constant in my back yard. That black throated blue warbler shot is money!!! Cheers.

    @markharris5771 Před 6 lety +2

    Congrats on the new vlogging camera and I hope it makes creating videos easier, but it’s all about content to me so I always think your videos are of a high quality. This is the best time of year for both species and activity as the birds create territories, build their nest and feed their young. The wonderful thing about your videos is your very real joy at seeing birds and new species, as always a great video.

  • @BirdandFly
    @BirdandFly Před 6 lety +2

    I've caught up on the previous videos and now am just waiting for some more videos now! It is really difficult to find dedicated bird watching/photography videos and vlogs, considering how many birders there are out there! Thanks Trevor and Ashley for the great content.

  • @smkunder1

    Hello fellow birders, a shout out from fabulous Las Vegas! It's funny how you guys get all excited over hummingbirds and I'm like "wish we can switch birding locations"..haha. I'm the same when I see warblers like yellow, orange-crowned, and wilson here in the desert. Thanks for sharing you awesome video! Ken

    Great morning at Point Pelee N. Park... Gorgeous photographs Ashley & Trevor! The Black-throated blue warbler was a very well composed shot... Is that a new camera I see Ashley using? I have her 400mm lens & Trevor's 7D in my bag... However, I have the 5DM3 with a f/4, 24-105mm kit lens on it's way along with a battery grip & a Kirk L- Brkt for my landscape work... Once again great content here guys...

    I heard the guy speaking at the start of the video and I thought hey I know that voice, and it came to me …. It's Trevor from Astrobackyard. He has a great channel on Astrophotography that I tune in on a regular basis.

    @amosjsoma Před 6 lety +1

    There was a confirmed sighting of a Black-Throated Gray Warbler at McGee Marsh, across the lake from you, this year. Very unusual for this part of the country. You can't believe the excitement among the birders there.

    • @thebirdnerds9475

  • @leighann5308
    @leighann5308 Před 6 lety

    Great video! Can you recommend a lightweight travel tripod that can hold the weight of a 7D and 400 5.6 lens? do the two of you use handholding most of the time? Without IS on my 400 I’m not getting a lot of keepers even with high shutter speeds. What can I be doing wrong Ashley?

    • @thebirdnerds9475
      @thebirdnerds9475  Před 6 lety

      We always handhold when we are shooting birds. Something we find helpful is to hold the lens past the middle closer to the end for better stability. Another option is to try a monopod for a little bit more mobility than a tripod. Happy shooting!

    Hi Guys! Every video getting better and better. Nice to see your photography quality increasing as well. Keep up the great work. Every species you mentioned made me excited. Wish I could afford to get out your way sometime. Off to Kamloops BC in about a week for great grey owls and songbirds. Take care and good light - Steve Large (The Owl Man).
