    I can't decide if you're a better storyteller or photographer, probably because you're amazing at both. This video was truly spectacular and you live in an incredible area. Stay safe.

    I'm a hobbyist shooting birds in my country and I'm still learning BIF. Seeing your videos inspires me to practise more and more. Thanks Mark. You're a master in weaving the stories to tie in with your spectacular images. Hope we can resume our normal activities when the world situation eases and be able to go out more.

Simply beautiful birds. Looking forward to our first workshop with you in Washington this May (hopefully it gets to happen) and planning to do your Osprey workshop in Florida this fall. Love your storytelling, photography, and can't wait to meet you.

    And I love those Spoonbills, too! Thought it was pretty cool how the nesting material in each photo got bigger and bigger as time went by. It's almost as if they were competing to see who found the largest branch.

    Great video Mark, we love watching these videos and really love seeing the images you're capturing down there. We should have been driving down today. But sadly, we had to cancel our trip to Sebastian due to the current situation that is gripping our country. To add to the stress, here in Illinois we are being ordered to shelter in place starting tomorrow. So after today, I won't be able to visit our local hot spots that are currently teaming with migrating waterfowl. In the mean time, keep up the great work and we'll be looking forward to viewing the new video you're working on. Stay safe down there.
