Nice ❤

Some great shots today, especially as it was your 1st time shooting a Z8. It's a great camera .....Thanks for uploading..

How much did you pay and how did you get the tickets? Do they accept walk ins ? That’s amazing thank you for sharing ❤

Such gorgeous birds. Great job capturing the Lazuli Bunting James!👏 Beautiful area to hike and photograph.

Awesome shoot!

What a talent James! Good stuff. I have enjoyed your collaboration and teamwork with Jonny Pink too. Hope to run into you and John and do some shooting with you guys. Take care. - Jim

Good closeup shots of various birds with the 600mm pf lens.

Pode-se curtir o trabalho junto com vocês!!!! Obrigada pele oportunidade no RUclips hahaha lindo muito lindo isso

Lindo, bom trabalho Mukul, Deus abençoe vocês

Nikon 200-500mm is way sharper because of the 1 stop lower

How many did you see? been looking for the Females, so far only saw two males the last 2 years.

The lens is a tad expensive for an F5.6......

Thanks! I am thinking about purchasing one of these lenses, but not sure which one.

Self confidence in taking pictures of strangers is what most people find difficult in street photography. Being areal extrovert helps. I enjoyed the photos and content. There are photos that look like a step back in time. If you enjoyed the day shooting photos then what else really matters….right!

The colorful shot at 1:02 is my favorite.

I definitely can’t take photos of strangers. Way too afraid 😂

James, you know what we say…..there’s always someone faster, and always someone slower. You’re probably right there in that sweet spot with street photography 😎. I enjoyed the photos!👏

Really cool and fun to see you venture into street, James! I think we get better at it as long as we go out more. Will you be doing more of these? 😁

Great video, very enjoyable to watch! Greetings from a Swedish youtuber! 🇸🇪

Nice!

Nice photos and birds! 😀 I am also walking very slowly and carefully, but i think its more to not scare the snakes and be able to photograph them. Haha The mangrove snake is beautiful .. maybe one day. Cheers! ✌️😀

Man, rattlesnakes. Would be freaked too if i encountered one so close and head back 🫠 thanks for sharing James, this was great! What a beautiful blue bird.

I’m a little late on this conversation. For me personally I think most of us would love the latest and greatest camera that technology can create. The real question is do we actually need it. Big difference between need and want. I use a D500 and in reality I probably don’t use anywhere near all the capabilities that the D500 can do. On a Z9 that would even be more so. The D500 isn’t holding me back in any way right now for what I shoot and for my level of experience. I imagine that bird eye focus would be wonderful but that isn’t what I mostly struggle with. I usually get my focus pretty good on the D500. I still enjoy using the D500 and my Tamron 150-600 G2 plus in low light situation I use my Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 E FL ED VR Lens with a 1.7 teleconverter. It gives me 500 mm of reach at a constant f/4.8 plus f/2.8 without the converter if my target is close. Lots of good lenses available on the used market for those of us using DSLR’s these days. Not saying that there won’t come a time when I might use mirrorless but I don’t loose sleep on it and likely not anytime soon and this is mid 2024. D500 is still a great camera and produces wonderful photos.

Lovely pictures of that very colourful bird. I agree that rattlesnakes are best viewed behind glass either on tv or at a zoo. Garter snakes I don’t mind but anything venomous isn’t welcome anywhere close to me. Glad that was you only encounter.

I'll be waiting for you trespassing aholes and will be pressing charges. Operators who fly in Sage East of Temecula... do not have permission to take of and land out here. You have been notified.

Rattlesnakes!

Absolutely beautiful!!! I wish I had gone with you. You got some fantastic shots. 🙏💖🤗

Oh, we put out new feeders for the Hummers. Used the D500 with the AF-P 70-300, mounted on my very sturdy Leofoto Tripod, and closed up the viewfinder, and stood and waited, with AF ON, and fired away. D500 still holds its own, as You know! I was able to capture an inflight shot of a male, away from the feeder, and it might just make for a ‘Money shot?’ Stay safe and well!

James, always enjoy your content. Beautiful imagery and captures! Always watch your step out there in the great outdoors, and I believe I saw that You had boots on? Wise man! Hey, nothing wrong with being scared of snakes. 😮 Situational Awareness! Glad You’re alright, and please stay safe! Keep up the good content!

Beautiful bird. I will be in Carlsbad in October, arriving on the 20th. Maybe I will find a location to find one. Glad you didn't step on the snake. That is something I don't have to worry about in this area.

Thanks for showing me a new bird that I have never seen before! We have indigo bunting over here in the eastern United States and you may have even seen them in your area.

I just finished watching your video. You did an amazingly good job on this nature video. I have and use and Nikon D500 and Tamron 150-600 G2 however I only do stills. What an inspiration for those of us who still enjoy this camera. You have an amazing talent. Thanks so much for sharing.

Awesome so lovely capture

Great job 👍🏽

Thanks for sharing 👍🏽

I'm brand new not into birding but photography in general, too. Is the best time to see them in winter months? I'm also just outside Seattle near the airport.

PopUp Flash is great. Use it all the time. Really like your work. Keep up the good work.

Been alot of short eard owls in uk 🇬🇧 got some nice shots myself great video

Great video. What time of year is best for photographing these owls?

Im really loving the shots James! That was a great day for sure 😁

Beautiful shots of both species James! Loved all the colors at sunset 😍. Great videos of your trip. Looks like definitely a success for you and John. 👏

This was a great series!

Absolutely beautiful shots. What you do with that older stuff is amazing - I can not wait to see what you get next time with new stuff. Such beautiful images. And..... I LOVE the narration! I think I will again drive and so looking forward to it. Arizona hummingbirds in the August 🙏💖🤗

Cool shots!

You got some real nice pictures of the Harriers and owls. The grey ghost is a challenge. From what I have observed, the male owls and harriers are normally further out in the field away from people while the females are smarter and stay closer to the people so the eagles will leave them alone. I really like the GBH on the post. Bummer about formatting the card. Glad you got some of the images back. I am so glad you had a good time while up here even though it was the coldest we have been in a very long time. If you have seen my IG lately you will have seen I have been posting a bunch of juvenile Bald Eagle pictures. What I haven't said win those posts is that is my mother in-laws farm. It is common to see 3 eagles there. I know I am l lucky to live in a place with so many bald eagles.

Nice shots man! Beautiful birds and habitat.

Really cool stuff and test James 😁 looks like a great setup, stable footage, and sharp.

Looks like a good trip
