Scott Hill Photography | Birding on Whidbey Island. Canon R5, RF 200-800
A brief trip to Whidbey Island. The day went by too fast, or the daylight was too short? In this vlog, I meet up with my friend David to photograph shorebirds on Whidbey Island. Afterwards we quickly made our way out to see if the Short-eared Owls will come out. Hope you enjoy this video!

    Hello Scott 👋 I actually know this fun location you are at. We actually slept in Captain Whidbey’s inn museum near there. 😆 I love the variety of birds you captured this evening for me. It was a delight to soak in your amazing shots for the full 11.5 min. My favorite was that cool Black Oyster catcher. I love their bright red eye and beak. The slow shuttle technique worked out beautifully for you here with that crazy wind! Beautiful video friend! So very nice to have you show me so many amazing birds today. Loved the full time with you!

    Nice video, thanks for sharing. I am concerned about the Short eared owls. The fields are so flooded I doubt the voles are there, so if the food source isn't there the owls will have to go somewhere else. I saw one Short-Eared Owl on Saturday but it was further away than I cared to photograph. My mother in-law lives near Oak Harbor so I go to Whidbey Island a lot. For Harlequin ducks I like to use the Rosario Beach entrance. They like the rocks off the point there and are there most of the time.

    Hey Scott, thank you for sharing your great encounters with some awesome birds of prey! I am thinking about visiting the Skagit County in mid July and was wondering if there also is a chance to spot short-eared owls or if you have other recommodations for birding at this time of the year? Greetings from Alex (Germany)

    • @scotthillphotography
      @scotthillphotography 24 дня назад

      Glad you liked it! The shorties will be gone by July. You should go for shorebirds because of the low tides at that time of the year. Visit beaches, the islands such as Camano Island and Whidbey Island. I don't recommend going when the tide is at its lowest, unless you're willing to walk really far out. Good luck!

Funny story…I’ve always wanted to photograph owls and the very last place I thought I’d see one and get a photograph was during my family trip to Kauai. We were driving back from a hike in the evening and I happened to see what I thought was an owl. I pulled over and got a few blurry images of it and after zooming in on my lcd, I realized that indeed it was an owl. I believe it was a short ear owl. Thanks again.

    Good style, incorporating music and narration/story telling. At some small points it was like songs volume ( amplitude) was higher while your narration audio levels were lower which needed to change our device volume up and down. This could be resolved by normalising audio. (usually one more step in editing in my case davinci resolve or audacity both has audio normalising feature) . That would just make it more audible without needing to change device volumes. Disclaimer : I was watching on speakers not headphones. Anyways great choice of music. Wish you good luck!!!

    Some really nice stuff there, man! I'm envious too; I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more, for Canon to produce more of these lenses. I plan to pair it with my R6 Mk II. Like a lot of people have commented on RUclips and various forums, the main gripe is, would it really be a hardship for Canon to let us know when they will actually be available? I've made requests to B&H and other vendors for a stock alert, but it's been months and no information yet. So, I'm really glad for you that you've got one, and I hope to have mine at some point sooner than later. Cheers!
