- In this video, I talk about ways to improve your bird photography by focus on key factors that will allow you to maximize this very special time of year, spring migration.
I reference monopods in this video and here are a few of the ones I can recommend:
FEISOL: amzn.to/41bJboI
Robus: bhpho.to/3H4du9U (get 4 setion not 6)
Promedia Gear: promediagear.c...
The BEST monopod head is the Promedia Gear Tomahawk, pricey but versatile:

Another option is the Wimberly side mount.

This is my first real spring migration as a photographer, so I really appreciate the tips. Thank you!
Great information Scott!!
PS: thanks for not doing RUclips Shorts!!🙏🏼
Dont follow my IG reels (though some are kinda funny)
Got my 1st Hooded Warbler last weekend in Virginia.
Agree about Ebird, but you can always check the media section for a hotspot for pictures as a tool to see if if the area is photography friendly to start if unfamiliar with an area.
I used to hate mornings but as a bird photography I had to alter my lifestyle to get up with the sunrise.
..I just need a house that backs up to the woods now.
getting up at 5 isnt fun!
So underrated, I only just discovered your content recently but you share some very great experiences and accurate tips hopefully more people discover this content because your vids could help lots of people out. 🔥🤝
Thank you!
Excellent, Scott! Thanks for the insights. I'll be trying lower shutter speeds in the those early morning hours with plenty of frames.
let me know how you do
Don't forget the southerly exposure of trees. Small spiders and gnats are especially tasty in the spring.
Great stuff! Always unique perspectives, appreciated.
I like using the tripod with gimbal head so that I can pre buffer shots and catch the bird flying. I simply can’t hold my camera/lens up and ready long enough to catch an inflight shot, which I much prefer over “bird on a stick” shots. Still your tips are good and I will try them out!
Agree with all that you say about the importance of habitat areas. Often I have to drive hours and hours to get to the best locations, but it is well worth the hours of driving to be able to shoot in areas that are most conducive to getting clean shots.
Good info Scott 😊
Just found the first palm and pine warbler 😂 am exited as well my friend lol 😆 thank you for the tip , I wish to find a Connecticut warbler this year 😅 fingers crossed 🤞🏾
Conn are notoriously difficult, and more often seen here in fall migration. They are skulkers so they prefer the low thickets. I have only ever seen 2 in my life!
great video Scott,as usual. so true about the low canopy any time of year low canopy .here in Ontario they are showing up more week by week.
Thanks 👍
hmm 3d tracking with spot metering. definitely trying this if i get out this weekend
Thanks for watching ce-lo
All great advice, especially the coastal regions.
Glad you enjoyed!
Good tips Scott!
Great video Scott. Thanks so much for all the tips which are valuable as always. You just motivated me to get my butt out of bed tomorrow before sunrise!
Let me know how you make out lol
Finding good locations is a long process but at least once found they are reusable. I try to find spots along the forest edge with some undergrowth like along a pond, creek or river. Pick a spot and sit there. The hardest part is getting up early😆
You're not lying. That sun keeps coming up earlier and earlier !!
Thanks for good advice. Looking forward to grab my camera and get out and look for birds during spring migration in coming weeks in Sweden.
Best of luck!
