Awesome video, especially the voiceover sections with all the info!

My wife and I are annual visitors to Canaveral/Merritt Island and can attest it is an awesome place for birding and natural beauty in general. We drive the Blackpoint at least once every December and often twice during our visit. It is best appreciated at a near crawl for much of the trip as there are so many nuances to the experience that can be otherwise missed. (just leave room for the numerous less-than-patient drivers to get around you and proceed on their way...at times, there does seem to be an abundance of those who expect a more Disney-like experience and lack the ability to carefully find the thrill rather than be hit over the head with it at a dazzling pace.) We originally visited this area for the Kennedy Space Center, but were drawn further in, first by the excellent beaches and then more so in discovering the numerous nature trails and sanctuaries. There are exceptional opportunities for viewing from canoe or kayak as well. Your video is excellent and the photography quality is enviable. Very enjoyable.

Intresting journey

Wonderful

My daughter loves the green and tri colour herons. And I think the snail kite was so neat to see!

Great looks of the Florida Scrub Jay! So cool

Fantastic, loving this series of vlogs, just wandering, did you stay in different locations or stop in one spot, you really do have me planning next year’s holiday

I really enjoyed the Black-bellied Whistling Duck for some reason. Just a sharp looking bird haha. The Florida trip has been great so far!

2 lifers in one day and the Sora was special. Well done guys.

That was great footage of the sora. I remember seeing one at a lake in Florida during the winter.

Cool video! I live in western Washington and have been birding for about 5 years and just saw my first Bullock's Oriole a week ago.

Great Video. If you want to get some cool birds east of the Mississippi, I would recommend Sax Zim Bog in Minnesota. In the winter you could get Great Gray Owl, Northern Hawk Owl, Boreal Chickadee, Snowy owl, etc. In the summer you could Great Gray Owl and Connecticut Warbler, etc.

Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always 🐦❤️

Hello Stu and Sarah, Just wondering how long you spent in Florida (maybe you're still there?)? Great videos.

Yet another great video with more birds I'd like to see 🙂 What's the camera and lens setup that you use for your pictures and videos?

Another great video! I was at Merritt Island back in March and it was awesome! Too bad you couldn't see the Flamingos. I saw them when I was there, but at quite a distance! Still a very cool lifer. Congrats on the Sora and the Clapper Rail! I've never seen either! I have occasionally tried to find Soras here in Ontario, but so far without luck!

😊💕🦩🌴🐊🌳👍

Great video again !

love the Sora! and the Northern Parula. nice vid.

First! And you're finally birding part of Florida that I've visited. I got my lifer Florida Jay there.

I'm from Wisconsin & a birder. When I was vacationing in Florida I was really hoping to see Florida Scrub Jays. Went to this one place that was known for them. Didn't see one darn Scrub Jay & was almost carried off by mosquitoes. It is still one of my bucket list birds.

I love your videos. They are long enough to contain a lot of cool birds, but not so long to cause me to get antsy. You have made Florida one of my top places to get to soon as possible!!!! Thanks.

I didn’t know that Florida has COYOTES …. 😳😳🧐🧐🤔🤔

As you have mentioned, I checked on GOOGLE, it indicated that the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, whose members are collectively referred to as kingbirds. Its scientific name used to be Muscivora forficata until it was changed to Tyrannus forficatus.

We have the Daurian Redstart in the New Territories of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR in and around the semi-rural areas.

Hi, is / are there any local Florida birds species that DO NOT migrate out of Florida NOR out of USA ?

Just found this. Great!

Epic footage of the Jay!

Wow great footage of the Shrikes meal! And was that a ‘Will FerOwl’ at the beginning 😅beautiful footage x another great video

Congrats on the scrub-jays! That was one of my main targets on my last trip to Florida and missed it unfortunately! I did see Red-cockaded Woodpecker though, which was pretty cool!

So many wonderful sightings! New subscriber here ✨

Great video! I was really lucky to actually see a pair of Crested Caracara in Costa Rica outside San Jose They were from a moving vehicle, but still awesome! Happy birding!

I saw a northern bobwhite today. Congratulations on finding the Florida scrub jay!

Great shots of the scrub jay. I've seen scrub jays in Arizona -- I guess those are the California species. Seeing other jay species is always a revelation for a guy from Ontario, where blue jays are the only game in town.

Thank's for another great video. Every new bird to me is a favorite and I get so frustrated when I can't get the picture. I'm trying to get the Henslow Sparrow. I know where they are but they won't come out for there picture. They breed here so I'll try later in Aug. The Dicksiccle is the other. There is one bird I don't have to go to Florida to see. That is the Limpkin. There were several that visited Michigan last year and one stayed thru the fall it wasn't far from me so I had a lot of pick's. I probably won't have another chance to see the short eared owl like last year due are gov destroyed the habitat for solar panel's.😞 I did get the black billed Cuckoo and lot's of the Sedge Wren. Keep on birding! This is so fun😊

I usually don't make comments, but I just love your videos. Following the two of you along on your birding journey this year has been wonderful, as you both seem so knowledgeable as well as wholesome. Best of luck completing the challenge (which I know you will!) and thank you for all the work you do making these videos for us to enjoy.

05:52 this almost looks like a Short-eared Owl! Is that possible in Florida at your time of visit?

😊💕🐦🐍👍

I used to have to fly to the States from the UK for business meetings in Melbourne (just down the coast from where you were); I use to try to squeeze in a little birding at the beginning or end of the day. A local birder tipped me off and I visited the Cruickshank Sanctuary for Florida Scrub Jay early one morning - amazed to see you visiting there too! I had a couple of great drives around R Grissom too. Happy memories - thanks!

Great vid. Congrats for the Florida Jay.... love it

Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always 🐦👍

Great videos as always ! Loved the scrub jay footage.

Love the owls 🦉 Those yellow legs are CLEARLY a lesser yellowlegs as they have less leg up top 😅 Another great video of your trip 🎉

Do you use Ebird

Just catching up on videos. Some comments: 1) I wonder if you could delay telling us what the species is to just a few seconds after it appears on screen. This currently only happens about 1/10 birds by chance but I really enjoy trying to guess before you say the name or the words appear. Most bird shots are long enough that I think you could start showing the bird before you say its name. 2) Great that Sarah is becoming more involved. 3) Would love to see you start commenting on bird sub-species (like you did the for the deer). Many birds that you're seeing are a subspecies or another and it would be cool to start calling that out - fitting with your theme of being scientific about your observations. 4) The shorter intro is very nice - you might want to consider trimming the standard intro for when you're back in Ontario (I know it would have taken a lot of time to make). Thanks!

Sara has beautiful eyes, it adds to the videos

Awesome, loved the storks, looked like larger versions of our Aussie white ibis.

Just wanted to let you know your Fish Crow is a Boat-tailed Grackle! Fish crows are essentially indistinguishable from American crows by appearance. You can see this has a sheen on the head and the bill is too thin and pointy for a crow

Congrats on the snail kite! It was one of my top birds to find on my recent trip to Florida too! I got really lucky with it too. I happened to be watching a grackle fly into some reeds through my binoculars and there was a juvenile snail kite perched in the reeds in the same direction! I would never have looked in that direction otherwise! It was basically impossible to see just with the naked eye.

Thanks for sharing,hope you will reach 300 soon
