Beautiful pictures. Come further south to Green Cay Nature Center and Wakodahatchee Wetlands. During the winter migration there are more birds than you can imagine.
Myakka state park and Celery Fields in Sarasota are my 2 favorite places! The latter is completely free. They also renovated the Red Bug Slough preserve this last year. Also free. I've been going down there each year with my R7 and 100-500 the last few years. I am never disappointed.
Hello Yrsa. A wonderful place to photograph birds and wildlife in general. I really congratulate you for the channel you have and the great captures you took to show the community. Fantastic job. Greetings from Argentina from another lover of birds and nature
What a beautiful video! Except for the crocodiles and the black vultures, these areas are very similar to the wetlands in my region, Lombardy in Italy. Such magnificent places. I had seen videos about the wetlands in Louisiana, but those in Orlando are also magnificent.
Looks like i need to drive a few hours north!! I am in South Florida... There is a place you might like if you have not been named Loop Road. Great place as well...
Simply great! 😊 1) What fps you mostly use here for video, also with handheld did you use IBIS + OSS to stablize the footage or anything in post? 2) Do you use auto focus always or mixed for such footage like 03:03 when birds fly away while you shoot them? Did you switch to manual in between?
Most stuff is filmed in either 30fps, 60fps or 120. Used IBIS and OSS with some stabilization in post when needed. 95% of the time autofocus is used, and the rest would be manual, but only if the autofocus isn't focusing on the right subject 😊 Thank you so much for watching!
A wonderfully done video at the Orlando Wetlands 👍 I live close by and visited a few years ago. It looks like it has changed a little since then. You also picked a good day that was a little overcast so you didn't have harsh lighting.
Great video and location... New subscriber from Rajasthan India And also I welcome u and all of your subscribers family to come and watch the beautiful birds of Rajasthan
Pangolin Photography Safaris, in Botswana, will take you along the Chobe river for some awesome photography, they also go to the Okovango Delta and several other African locations. In the US, go to the national parks at either Chincoteague or Assateague (or both, they're not that far apart) -- but go in the off season, because there are beaches at both parks and they are very popular. Cades Cove in Tennessee was cool, Acadia National Park was also cool but very crowded when we went.
That Softshell Turtle at 3:36 looks amazing! What a great image-making opportunity! I would love to see some of the stills you were able to get of him/her.
@@YrsaClicks it is - if you have the eyes to pick them out LOL! My eyes aren't super great and I have high frequency hearing loss, so my ability to locate where a sound is coming from is almost non-existent. I still find it a wonderful location, but I'm at a disadvantage compared to other experienced birders for the most part. I still thoroughly enjoy my visits there. Brisbane has a fair few lovely birding locations: sandy camp wetlands wynnum boardwalks nudgee beach/boardwalks hardings paddock archerfield wetlands boondall wetlands tinchi tamba minnippi parklands brember river wetlands colleges crossing are all awesome locations within metropolitan Brisbane. We are spoiled!
It is tough trying to decide which bird I liked best. Probably the Spoonbill if I am pressed. If you make it up to the opposite corner of the lower 48 to the Puget Sound Area of Washington State, you will find many great places to photograph and encounter wildlife. Juanita Bay, Skagit Valley, Owens Beach, Whidbey Island, just to name a few places. You can encounter harbor seals, sea lions, Bald Eagles, Orcas, etc. A short boat ride to Smith Island will let you see Tufted Puffins. Fall is a great time to see Roosevelt Elk. The largest elk in the country live here, though the rack of the Colorado Elk is bigger.
Yrsa, very nice video, but I’m pretty sure you got your Male and Female Boat-Tailed Grackles mixed up with the labels on your video. In terms of other places to go, not far away from OWP is Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, and a little farther south is Viera Wetlands (Rich Grissom Memorial Wetlands). Both are excellent places to photograph wildlife. I also like Joe Overstreet Road near lake Kissimmee, and the Thomas M. Goodwin Water Fowl Management Area in Sebastian.
Hmm oops, I actually used an app to help me identify the birds but that could be wrong too 😂 But isn't that the beauty of this.. that we learn as we go? 😊 Thank you! And thank you so much for your recommendations about other spots, I'll definitely check them out!
You should check out SE Arizona around the Sierra Vista area. Hummingbird capital of the USA. They cater to birders with several places to hike or you can go to one of the many places that has feeders already set up for both hummers and song birds.
If you're just doing birds try North Dakota for waterfowl, pheasants, etc. Also, just for fun you could visit the badlands in Western North Dakota to see Bison, Mule deer, Wild Horses, prairie dogs, Elk, Sheep, etc.
Is it cleaned up after the hurricane? I visited Sanibel a lot pre hurricane Ian and went out there twice afterwards but it wasn't just the same anymore 🥲
Flott video, var der selv i april i år :) Men det er utrolig mange flotte steder i Florida, og som er bedre enn dette sted også. Hadde base på Fort Myers i fjor, og Sebastian i år. Kommer garantert tilbake hit senere igjen :) Kan komme ganske nært fugle og dyreliv her, men 70-200 virker litt snaut. Trodde det var 100-400 som minimum. Selv Bruker jeg 200-600 til mitt A1 og A9 lll. Blir spennende og se flere videoer fra deg, hørte du pratet svensk, så da skriver jeg på norsk :)
thank you so much 😊 i got up pretty close to the animals to get good shots even with my lens, but of course there's other lenses that can make it easier to photograph or capture the wildlife. just wanted to try it out and im so happy with it! 😊
@@YrsaClicks for bigger birds, that you can get close to, it may look OK. But, you'll be missing a tonne of detail. It's an OK combo for environmental shots I guess. I just wouldn't personally leave the home for birding without my 500mm prime, and that's probably a common denominator for the serious birding photographer. I know a lot of people use the Sigma 150-600c and it's a pretty good lens, but AF performance is so-so, optical quality isn't superb, merely just above good and it's minimum f stop is useless if you're shooting passerines in a temperate rainforest. So....

I love this lens, I wanted to test it 2x with conventer, it would be very helpful, especially when taking photos of birds. nice video
Thank you for watching!! and yes, it's awesome by itself but like you're saying, for birds the converter is great 😊

Awesome thank you so much, I'll put that on my bucket list! 😊

Oh sweet, I'll put that on my list of places to go next, appreciate it! 😊
Cool video I remember walking by you guys when you were filming this content. Very good overview of the park.
Ohh, thats awesome, thank you so much! 😊
Beautiful,thanks for sharing, a paradise indeed, Happy shootingYrsa!!
Thank you! You too! 😊📸
What a great video. My favorite bird? The red wing blackbird
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Super photos. 👍
Thank you so much!! 😊

Thank you for watching! 😊 Vultures are actually some of my favorites to photograph, I love their raw look 😅 Italy sounds amazing
Love the footage, you'll love Australia's top end 🤟👍
Thank you so much!! Would love to see Australia one day 😊📸
My favorite photographer
awww thank you 😊📸
this is great, i'll have to visit there soon...
You definitely should! It's amazing, can't wait to go back
Beautifully Narrated
Thank you kindly! 😊

Try Merritt Island Black Point, Viera Wetlands, Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive.
Thank you so much! I'll check it out, it was filmed a couple of weeks ago 😊
Hi Yrsa ! Interesting video ! Beautiful photos !
Thank you very much! 😊📸
Definitely you ❤❤♥️🌹🌹🤗
Oxley Creek Commons, Brisbane, Australia . Experienced birdwatchers have seen up to 240 bird species in a day.
Oh wow sounds like a dream!

She can photograph my bird any time.
lollll

Oh I had no idea, would love to see that! Thank you 😊
Nice work!
Thank you! Cheers! 😊📸
1:58 FYI this is a male BTGR (females are brown-bodied, seen @ 2:21) -- great shots regardless!
oops, sometimes it goes too quick 😂 Thank you so much!! 😊
If you're just doing birds try North Dakota for waterfowl, pheasants, etc. Also, just for fun you could visit the badlands in Western North Dakota to see Bison, Mule deer, Wild Horses, prairie dogs, Elk, Sheep, etc.
Wow that sounds amazing, thank you so much!
Since you're in central Florida go to JR Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge at Sanibel Island off the coast of Fort Meyers. 4:55
Is it cleaned up after the hurricane? I visited Sanibel a lot pre hurricane Ian and went out there twice afterwards but it wasn't just the same anymore 🥲
Gutkowski Falls
I'm getting Ellie Sattler vibes lol
Hahah, just need some more dinosaurs!
Dortha Village
👏👏👏👏👏💯👍🌹🌹🌹💕

Erna Landing
I’ve been living in Orlando most of my life and I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never visited that park. 😞
OHHH you have to go!!! 😊📸
It is actually closer to Titusville than to Orlando
@@BryanBenoitPhotoyeah, I know. I’ve been living here 30+ years and worked at the space center for 15ish or so years.
Prohaska Throughway
What species is that at 3:16? A Black-bellied Whistling Duck, by chance?
hmm 3:16, yes it is a black bellie whistling duck 😊
Darwin Cove
Trisha Lodge
try Nebraska
I might do that 😊📸
When did you actually video this?
70-200, even with the 1.4x TC is simply far too short a focal length.
i think it worked out pretty good 😊

You got the boat-tailed grackle gender wrong! The males are black, the females are brown!
oops, consider me a rookie 🤭 thanks!
Real wildlife photographers don’t use 70-200s or 2x teleconverters.
I've got great full frame shots of leopards and elephants in Botswana with a 24-105 F4.
@@kilohotel6750sounds like an amazing time!
😂 that’s so silly
I hope you’re kidding
Of course i am not kidding.
Try Lake Apopka drive or around Lake Jessup.
I'll check it out!
