All of the birds you managed to photograph are all new to me as we don’t have those in the UK. The exception is the Redstart which we do have albeit slightly different to yours but not by much. It’s great to be able to see all these exotic species (to me they are), so keep them coming 😊 Also I forgot to say, some great scenery there as well.
Most of what we saw was quite new to me as well! Definitely can't recall having seen a Cerulean or Canada warbler before. Most of the rest I've seen, but only rarely, like the Hooded and Black-and-White warblers. And the Cliff swallows were a real bonus, don't think I've seen those before either, let alone been close enough to their nests to get them peeking out like that. Quite a day!
Great video Kelly. My daughter has been itching out to get some pics of warblers. We have a Cape May Warbler that has returned to our pine tree for about 3 years in a row. We are hearing a few new ones. Something you might be interested that we picked up was something called Bird Weather. It is an always on, always recording device that ID's birds based on sounds. We have found many birds that we never knew hung around as well as hearing many migrating birds overnight. You should check it out.
I never used to pay much attention to the little birds, because they were always too tough to photograph or identify. Modern gear makes that a lot easier, and some of them are just gorgeous. Loved the Hooded and Canada warblers I saw on this outing! BirdWeather looks neat! Do you have their PUC device? Might have to splurge, though--a Raspberry Pi DIY version would be cheaper, but I imagine also a lot more touchy and unreliable.
@@wanderland_xyz I do. I sent you a link on your facebook site to it. I just don't have the time to nerd out on a Raspberry Pi anymore, so this was a nice, convenient option. We are impressed so far and like that it is portable so we can take it on hikes and as we travel.
Very nice walk. I’ve been on a few that were similar, plenty of birds around but not much photo opportunity. Are those tress deciduous? If so you might be able to see more before all the leaves start developing - I’ve had success in a couple of areas like that when I’ve gone a little earlier in the year. Did you you see the rumours about Canon possibly making 2 announcements this month? I assume one of them is the long awaited R5 Mark2 😊
Oh yes, and it seems one announcement may be as early as this week! Definitely have my fingers crossed for the R5II, I plan to order that bad boy as soon as possible! :)
looks like you have a low car, not 4x4 was it a safe drive for that size car? Are you able to turn around if it was impassable before getting stuck? Was thinking to try as far as possible with a Toyota Rav 4 next week 13 May...thanks for recent advice...is the road best taken by starting at boat ramp (one way? trouble passing cars on dirt road?)?
Great questions, Marcy! My Audi Q5 is all-wheel-drive, but honestly we didn't come across anything even remotely iffy. The roads start out paved, then turn to crushed gravel. Didn't come across any major ruts, no stream crossings to speak of, really nothing of note at all. I imagine there are side roads that could get dicey, but if you stick with Forest Roads 59, 768, and 812 you'll be fine. The mountain roads are definitely pretty narrow as roads go, so you want to watch the blind curves, but we found plenty of wider spots to pull off to the side as needed. On a Friday traffic was very light--we played leapfrog with a couple other vehicles going the same direction as us, but actually never encountered anyone coming the other way. That said, you can take it from either end, starting at either the Arcadia boat launch or the Sunset Field overlook. I read beforehand (and would agree!) that it's better to start at the Arcadia end, as early as you can manage. That's the lowest point, so the birds there are active early along the river, and then as you climb into the mountains the temperatures are cooler and the birds stay more active as you go. I think I'll write up a blog post on my website with the overview and some more tips--I'll reply with a link once I get that posted!
