    In this video, we do a new bird photography challenge where I pick a species at random and have to try to find and photograph it in the wintery conditions here in Quebec, Canada. This is one of the prettiest times of the year for bird and wildlife photography. Photos and videos were taken with the Sony a1 + 200-600G. Hope you enjoyed the video, and happy birding!

    The distraction is the story of my life too. Can't even watch a movie at this point. I find Saw-whet owls to be a challenge because I can't get used to how small they are. Found a Great Grey last week with a friend. Some can be easy to find in crowded hotspot, but finding your own respectfully is what is really satisfying. That being said, I LOVE your videos. They help me find motivation to go out during these -30 days.

    • @StefanoIaniro
      @StefanoIaniro  Před 2 lety +4

      Haha, I agree! I mean I read about their size and have seen photos/videos, but seeing it in real life, they almost look fake for how tiny they are. Congrats on finding the Great Grey! The coldest days are the most peaceful!

  • @randygeene9455

    • @StefanoIaniro
      @StefanoIaniro  Před 2 lety +2

      Thank you! If it comes up again I can definitely try to! I’m not on social media much so by the time I heard about it in Quebec, it was already gone. Fingers crossed it shows up again and is still healthy!

    I can’t think of a more perfect channel. This with the owls was extra special. I’m in Florida and do see owls but never have I have 2 owls together. Thank you for being the kind of people we need more of in this world. I started with watching you building a pond, now subscribed, and in turn my mood is improved to 100 % happy. Your saw-whet owl was magical.

  • @alan2142

    The American Robin shot is probably favourite shot in the whole video. Seeing you trekking in the snow, photographying birds. While i am stuck in office, making ends meet. After seeing your video, i feel hopeful and blessed to see wild birds in their natural enviroments. Thank you for the great video.
