I wasn't prepared to sit here for 27 minutes but was captivated from the beginning. As Marcus said below, "As good as the images are, and they're awesome, it's your writing and storytelling that make the whole package such a delight." Thank you for sharing your awesome talent with us.

I am overwhelmed by the sheer amount of award winning level photos in this video. Even the first few images were awe inspiring, the level increased throughout the video. Thanks for this visual feast.
Well, shoot, he's shooting with a $3100 Nikon D850 full frame camera, and a $1400 600mm lens... but it's totally rad!
@@steveg1185 you have a premium typewriter, so your writings must be like Shakespeare...
@@steveg1185 please tell me where I can get that 600mm lens for $1400. The ones I find are $14,000. :)
The great part about your photography youtube is the actual photography! You are the benchmark for what a photography site should be.
Thanks! That is very nice of you to say!
This is wildlife photography at its finest. Thank you for the show, Mark!
Thanks!
As good as the images are, and they're awesome, it's your writing and storytelling that make the whole package such a delight. Outstanding and Happy New Year.
Thanks!
I would have to agree, I love the way he tells the story, a witness of the way it really is.
I second that comment. Some people tell a story and it's nighty night... your excitement and detail makes it a pleasure to either listen to the story or follow along while the video is being watched. Thanks for these amazing topics too.
OUT-KOT-DAYIM-STANDING. Just amazing!
You took the words right out of my mouth!
"A darkness falls on the heron, the shadow of the bald eagle" love your narration... totally the best!
Thanks. I was proud of that line!
As always, incredible images, presented with wonderful commentary.
Thanks!
When I was in Vietnam I was in the 101st airborne, we wore the color patch, we were extremely proud to wear a full colored patch, The north Vietnamese put orders to not engage with the roosters, they have never seen a bald eagle, so they referred to us as the roosters, seeing this fantastic video documentary brought all that pride we had out 🙏🏻🇺🇸
God bless you! Thank you for your service, Patriot! 🙏👏🏼💕🇺🇸
Thank you for your service!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Absolutely amazing! I grew up in Washington and for many years I'd go up to the Skagit river either take a float trip (raft) or park on the shoreline between marble mount and rockport during the months of January and February to watch the beauty of the the majestic Bald Eagles that fly south from Alaska,Canada to gather and feed on the returning salmon. It's the largest gathering of Eagles in the lower 48. On one raft trip myself and the tour company counted just under 500 Bald Eagles in a 2 mile stretch.
I hear the eagle floats are great but don't know how I would handle that cold humid air!
@@MarkSmithphotography the cold air got the best of me all the time. But many layer of clothes and hot chocolate made it enjoyable. Its a truly magical experience to witness so many Eagles at once.
mauimikeable Omigosh, I can't imagine how beautiful that must have been!
As a retired college professor, I really appreciate a fantastic educator. You are a FANTASTIC educator! I love your explanation of what is happening in your action shots. Beautiful photos!
OMG I have just sat down with a hot cup of coffee to watch this, and now the coffee is stone cold because my mouth has been wide open for the last 26 mins. This is the best BIF video on you tube ever. Speechless, I have just bought your book and hope to improve my BIF. I would love to come on one of your courses but I live in the UK and its just too price prohibitive for me at the moment. For those who can I am sure they will be rewarded with stunning images. All the best for 2020 and thanks for the journey. I appreciate the time and cost it takes to make these videos, and understand that you are in business to make money, but for those who cant attend one of your workshops these videos are one of the only ways we could experience these beautiful birds. Thank You
Thanks for watching. Sorry your coffee got cold!
As much as we like to indulge in gear reviews to satisfy our consumerism, this is what photography channels should be all about. Photography, pure and simple. Great work stunning images, the crow at the end made me chuckleA
This has to be one of your best videos yet! You captured some spectacular bald eagle action, just loved it! Hope to see more soon 😊
Thanks!
Absolutely incredible. Never seen anything that comes close
What have I seen so far was speechless. I particularly loved the fights between the bald eagles and the juveniles. That fearsome looks of the bald eagles, OMG... Also, the slo-mo video of the great blue heron eating the fish was awesome as well. What an end to the year...!!! Thanks, Mark for sharing such an awesome experience.
Thanks for watching.
Those shots of the eagles fighting were incredible. Thank you Mark.
Thanks!
My mind is blown and my jaw is dropped! Well done, Mark!!
Thanks!
Awe the picture of that beautiful female with wings outstretched. So beautiful. It was awesome.
Yep. I can never work out which I prefer: the stellar bird photography or the popcorn-grabbing storytelling. There are usually at least one, possibly two photo-books in every video. Magnificent work! Bravo!
I love the way Nikons render. Such beautiful color and contrast. Never knew Eagles were such thieves 😆
Epic stuff Mark! Love seeing those beautiful eagles in action.
I think the photos speak for themselves. No commentary needed. It detracts.
Superb photography, simply illuminating and awe inspiring!
Your narration put me in the ring. I don't think I've ever experienced a more exciting way to enjoy someones photography. Thank you sir.
This entire video is INCREDIBLE, and the eagle shots were amazingly beautiful! But I gotta say as mind blowing as this was, my favorite parts were the comedy relief; the silly little gull sitting through the whole thing with the clam in his mouth, and that audacious crow that was determined to get his revenge to the very end, lol. I don't know which my favorite bird is... the eagle with all its majestic beauty, or the crow with its bigger than life personality!
We watched your video on our 65” TV. What amazing detail in all the images! My favorite part was the outtake at the end. As you were walking into the concrete structure to check out the echo, I spotted what I think was me in the background. If it was, I finally made it into a CZcams video!
That was you in there! I was wondering if you would see that! Congrats on your debut.
This is my first video of yours that I’ve seen, I love how you tell the story that goes along with the photos! You’ve gained another follower, I was very entertained and as soon as I finish this post I’m off to watch more of your videos!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
These are UNBELIEVABLE images! INCREDIBLE! OUTSTANDING! BEYOND BELIEF!
The photography was absolutely brilliant. The editing and story telling was mesmerizing. A spectacular contribution that took an artful eye , unimaginable skill, and a lot of effort. Thank you. Have a great 2020.
Wow, that is an awesome comment. Thanks so much for the kind words.
Absolutely amazing photos and storytelling, you can really feel the action!
Thanks!
Fantastic watching..your commentary.. photography is superb..in the league of David Attenborough..
@@noelandrade1089 Thanks
Beautiful shots of beautiful birds.
A visual feast, indeed! I couldn’t get enough of those shots! They are all stand-outs. Bravo…but that head-on shot of the juvenile bald heading right your way showing every flying feather she has!! 😎
Your images are most impressive!!! I especially liked the adult eagles with locked talons.
Thanks!
Three years late but these images are unbelievable quality. Fantastic work Mark, and a well deserved sub.
Thanks
Not only are you a great photographer, but you tell an awesome story as well. We watch the Big Bear Eagles live nest cam, almost continuously, so have really gotten to know these birds. Very special creatures. Just amazing footage you've captured. Thanks so much!
Eagles are like some people I have known. They'll earn an honest living, but only when the alternative isn't available.
Excellent photography and nature study.
Kinda reminds me of Newark, New Jersey! Haha!
@@thomastuorto9929 Or Congress.
Spectacular, by the way. Shared this with a friend who likes this spot to photograph these beautiful creatures.
My favourite part, was all of it. Absolutely magnificent! I adore your videos, your enthusiasm and your incredible ability to capture the most stunning of images and footage. Happy new year to you, look forward to more of your great productions in 2020!
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing pics and story.
This video is absolutely breathtaking. I am so proud of the bald eagle being our national bird. What a beautiful creature.
Excellent, Mark! Great location, and great reflexes in capturing so many awesome images. Well done!
Thanks!
This is really cool man. I'm jealous you got to do this
Absolutely amazing! Photos & story combined! Thank you Mark.
The eagle, crow and you are incredible! Thank u for what u do.
Mark... you are the BEST!!!
Thank you✌🏼
Thanks!
Hi Marc,
I like your fotos and your stories so much. I'm very impressed!
Greetings from Germany, Carlo
Thanks!
Wow Mark, absolutely incredible photos. You always impress with your razor sharp photos. Bald eagles and great blue herons, my favorite 2 large birds. Love love love your videos.
Terribly amazing footage. The pictures stand alone but the commentary paints s story that actually few see but happens quite often in nature. Absolutely wonderful.
Man I'm surprised I don't hear your narration on History Discovery Nat Geo your videos are beyond amazing! Many of them simply the greatest
Thank you! That's a great compliment.
Absolutely MAGNIFICENT birds and your narration so perfectly compliments the video. I can't pick just one thing that was my favorite but your ability to capture those action shots of the fighting Eagles blew me away. Amazing video and simply the best Eagle shots I've ever seen. It's a real pleasure to watch you in action, thanks so much for sharing this experience with all of us! Happy New Year Mark...can't wait to see what you come up with in 2020!
Thanks so much for the great compliments. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow!!! These photos are so Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your gift with all of us!
Absolutely INSANE action and SUPERB photography!
Wow one of your best all of it was favorite from start to finish totally entertaining. Congrats man you got some amazing killer shots as always love the story you put together. I wish we had such amazing wildlife in the UK.
Thanks!
Something is wrong with the 6 people who gave the thumbs down.
Probably Sony users 🤣
'Razor sharp' thumbs, no doubt! LOL!
Wayne, Those are what I call, "drive-by idiots!" They don't even watch the videos. most of the time they do it when the videos are New, I don't look at those, check over to the left at the VIEWS. 211,798 AWESOME!!
@@greenybaby1 not at all.
Absolutely. I cannot FATHOM how anyone would be moved to dislike.
Incredible series of photos and story!
Mark, you and Morten Hilmer are the best photography story tellers on CZcams. Thanks for another wonderful video.
Great work as usual.
I really enjoyed this video, your photography inspires me to push a bit more every time I venture out to shoot eagles. Would absolutely love to attend one of your workshops.
Happy New Year!!
Thanks and Happy New Year to you too!
Amazing Mark;Makes me want to go back to f mount DSLR!`
Thanks!
What can I say Mark, Don't know which is better? The amazing photography or your fantastic story telling skills. You just transport the viewer as if we are right there witnessing the majesty of these beautiful birds. Thank you and I hope to someday join you on one of these amazing adventures.
absolutely amazing photos
Wow, wow, wow!!! What an insane set of pictures!
...and per date 98 people haven`t got a clue...
Lol
Amazing images with superb detail Mark..i need a D850.
Thanks!
Ahh...The danger, of walking in to a dark place and Sing...! Great storytelling and picture show...Thank You...!
Mark - wow, stunning!
SO AWESOME! I loved every minute of it! What kind of eagle is the “dark billed” juvenile?
That would be a juvenile bald eagle. They take about five years to reach full maturity with the white cap and tail feathers.
Thats amazing how the heron can swallow the fish without choking to death
Mark, you are amazing! Thank you for sharing with us your incredible work.
Your photography is stunning and I thoroughly enjoy your dialogue.
Why is the word "insane" so overused? The eagles are not insane. They inspire awe.
Your photos came alive with story telling. I was entertained. Thanks.
This is hands down my favorite youtube video.
Im brought to tearful awe by your photography an story telling. Please keep doing this!💜
What an amazing shots!!
Words cannot describe how awesome this video is. Thank you.
WOW! Fantastic eagle photography!
Mark, Great commentary! I love your story telling. The last scene with the crow grabbing on to the eagle and riding off into the sunset is a perfect ending.
My favourite scene is when the eagles talons are locked. Thanx for your informative and entertaining videos.
Just wow! Thanks Mark, great photography, lovely camera, spectacular birds and informative commentary ... a gem.
Spectacular photography and skillful storytelling. And singing, as a bonus!
Lol, Thanks!
I've watched this many times and the eagle fights are just absolutely incredible!
These shots are unbelievable wow! The eagle chasing down that crow, the circle of life LOL
This was beyond excellent. Your talent is #1. Thank you for bringing these superb birds into our lives.
I realize this video was presented a few years ago now, but as a first time viewer, I was absolutely mesmerized by your dramatic storytelling and breathtaking photography. You have an amazing gift, Mr. Smith. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. As an amateur photographer, I would consider it the shot of a lifetime to achieve just one of the brilliant photos you presented in this video.
