Glad you enjoyed! I have actually seen a number of these birds stop in my garden as they continue to migrate north. Hopefully we will continue to get more to stop particularly when I add the water feature to the garden. Take care!
You are correct capturing video is extremely challenging, thank you for noticing. I think I used less than 1% of the video I took as it was unusable for a multiple of reasons. The leading problem is the birds are always moving. Capturing a bird in focus for any length of time seems almost impossible. My technique and anticipation of the birds movement is helping. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Take care!
Beautiful photos! You mentioned seeing more Tennessee warblers. Here in Lancaster, PA we rarely see/hear them in spring; this year we’ve heard several. Except for the painted bunting, all these birds make their journey to our local parks and wow us. Some breed near our house, some nearer the Susquehanna River, which we visit throughout the summer to have an extended enjoyment of these amazing birds. The pause before labeling each bird was fun so that I could try identify it myself. Nicely done video. You just get better and better!
Dan - I love to hear about these birds being in your area during the summer. Most people are unaware of the warblers which are so small, usually are at the tops of the trees and very hard to spot. The fact that you are able to identify the birds in a split second before the name was provided is impressive! I am getting better at identifying them but it still takes me a while. Take care and thanks for watching!
O. D.- One of the benefits of living in Houston is the ability to visit the Gulf Coast in the spring to watch these birds migrate north. Its a very short period of time but it is well worth the spending the time and effort to be able to see these amazing creatures. The 10 minutes you saw in the video is based on spending ~10 days (8 hours each day) waiting for birds to show up. Even on a good day the amount of time spent waiting can be challenging. I am glad I was able to share with you and others and that you enjoyed the video. Take care!
Just finished watching. I am always amazed by the photos you take. So beautiful 🤩. I also avidly follow the progress of your yard rewilding. I'm so impressed. Thank you for all your hard work ❤️
Beverley - glad you enjoyed the birds. I love what I do and being able to share my experiences with others has been a blessing. I get back to the rewilding series and hope you are able to watch episode 12 and 13 with the stories of 2 different butterflies. Future Rewilding episodes are in the works! Take care!
Wow! You just keep outdoing yourself Jeff! Amazing photos and videos and wonderful narration. LOVE all of your videos - Just when I think you've done your best yet, you go ahead and somehow supersede them with even better ones! You know I'm your #1 fan and always will be! ❤
Jojo - You have always been a great supporter and that means the world to me!!!!!! Always happy to hear you enjoy a video. Look forward to seeing out in the field soon. Take care!
Jean - Glad you enjoyed seeing all the beautiful birds. The Chuckswill Widow was a new bird for me as I had never seen one before. I am always amazed at the diversity of birds during the migration, amazing! Thanks for watching taking the time to tell me your favorite. Take care!
Jeff, another amazing video and photos! Sabine Woods is the best. Alan and I are coming to the end of our trip to Ohio and Michigan. The birding has been okay but doesn’t compare to the Texas coast! We hope to be back there soon for spring migration. Thank you also for calling attention to the damage caused by pesticides and encouraging people not to use them.
Debra - good to hear from you and Alan!!!!! Birding on the Texas coast in the spring is hard to beat but I do want to visit McGee Marsh. Do you have any recommended places to visit if I was to make a trip to the West Coast? I have been looking at Point Reyes but am open to other recommendations. Take care!
Don - I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked watching the birds this year. The early part of the season was extremely slow and life got in the way many days. I was just thankful I got out at all and first time to see a Nashville Warbler which was very nice. Take care!
Wilfred - Not getting to watch the bird migration would be very tough. Glad I could provide a piece of the migration for you to enjoy! Take care and I hope you get to watch next years migration!
Awesome photos Jeff! I lost track of how many types of warblers you included in the video - you must have a warbler encyclopedia (?) Such beautiful birds!
Keith - Glad you like the pictures. I use the merlin app to help identify the birds I don't know or are difficult to identify. I have started to be able to name a number of them on sight and in a few cases by their song. The birds are amazingly beautiful and glad I could share their beauty with others.
Wouter - Glad you enjoyed! I will be getting back to an update on the garden soon as I have a lot of footage and also need to start working on the water feature. Take care and thank you for watching and letting me know you enjoyed the video!
Tom - Thank for watching. I continue to attempt to learn and apply new techniques in the field, in addition to the everlasting quest to learn all the editing skills needed to continue making better and better videos.
Bobby - The 20th was a great day and while the birding was very challenging the first 3 weeks of April from the 20th till just after the 25th there were many good days. Glad to hear you were able to get some cool pictures to share with family and friends! Take care!
Hey Jeff. It was nice to finally meet you this year. I was planning on peppering you with questions about editing stuff, but you looked pretty intense. It was my worst year ever for video. Partially saved by getting a little decent video of the Lawrence's Warbler.
Steve - Also nice to meet you. I thought I got a picture of the Lawrence Warbler but can't seem to find it - frustrating! It's amazing you got video!!!!!! I am not an expert in Video and continue to learn by making a lot of mistakes. I understand a lot more than when I started but my execution is still not great. Sorry if I seemed I was preoccupied. The next time we see each other I will make sure to take the time to answer any questions you have. I believe you may have my e-mail or someone from the group should. Feel free to send me a list of questions and I will attempt to answer them as best as I can. There are a lot of great resources on RUclips but they tend to talk from videoing in a very controlled environment vs out in the field with birds in difficult changing light. I try to learn and apply as best as possible and occasionally everything seems to work but I don't always understand why. I delete most of the video I take because it is unusable. Take care!
@@petemoreau6055 - EF 800mm f/5.6. I had to sell the boss for over 6 months before I bought it. The good news is I use it all the time and have gotten my money's worth.........well maybe not all of it......
Laura - Glad you enjoyed the video. Always fun to hear from people who have had the same experience and can recognize what they saw in the video. Take care!
Dan - Thank you for pointing out the correction. I am always concerned when I publish a video what mistakes I have made as once its published there is no fixing. I work very had to not include mistakes but after spending so much time putting one of these videos together it becomes hard to see the video with fresh eyes and see the mistakes. Take care!
Glad you enjoyed the variety of birds we have in the US. One of my favorite birds is the European Robin although I have never seen it, just pictures. Thank you for your comment and have a great day!
Wow, this was exceptional. Your content has always been fantastic but this is next level. Thank you for showing the world Sabine Woods and the wonderful people who make it possible for us to enjoy. And thank you, as I am beyond words for the cameo!! May your chanel continue to grow and your viewers learn not just about the environment but the role they play in it as well.
Stan - It was so great to meet you in person and be able to spend some time watching the birds together! I am getting better at understanding what I need to capture for a video but the people side is so difficult and I am always afraid I won't get it right. I am super happy you enjoyed your "cameo"!!!!!! Take care and I look forward to seeing you out in the field watching birds.
Martin - Glad you enjoyed.Birds are my favorite! They are amazing to watch and I love sharing the pictures and videos I capture with others. Take care.
@@Jeffswildlifeadventures well you'll be happy to hear when we reopen the nursery in fall we will have new species especially grown to provide food for birds.👍
@@martinsimonton Excellent! Thank you for caring, taking action and doing the work you do to provide an alternative to other big box nurseries who offer no native plants.
This is such an amazing video! So many beautiful birds in one video? What a treasure!!! Thank you for opening my eyes!

Really enjoyed your video of the Spring 2024 Migration at Sabine Woods! Great video work. The stills were very nice as well.

Just wow! and thanks.
Glad you enjoyed. I believe the spring migration along the Texas Coast is one of the most amazing events in nature.
