You all have seen my homemade floating blind (hide) before, so this in nothing new for you. Each time I use it, I am more and more convinced that this is the best way to photograph waterfowl and shorebirds. In this video, I spend some time tracking down another species of bird that I've never photographed before. After watching it for a couple of days, I take out the ol' floating blind and setup in the early hours of the morning!
I wasn't only able to photograph the bird I was after, but a whole bunch of other birds and species as well. I love using the floating blind because I stay pretty well camouflaged and I feel it's a very ethical way (if done correctly) to photograph these beautiful animals.
I hope you all are staying safe out there in your adventures. Thanks for following along, we'll see you all next week!

Thanks a lot for more excellent footage and pictures. That's a great locations, they don't have any sticky mud on their feet!

Thanks for the nice words! It really is a wonderful location, it's become one of my favorite local spots. Yes, I was quite happy that they kept their feet clean 😁

Cracking video, great footage and some wonderful shots. Your perseverance and patience paid off. Thanks for your time and effort

@JimmyBreitenstein 3 года назад

Time and patience usually do pay off ☺️ Thanks so much for the support!

@haydnthomasphotography8084 3 года назад

Floating blind gives you an amazing perspective, how you film yourself inside of that, now that's impressive, great video too!

@JimmyBreitenstein 3 года назад

Thanks so much! Yes, I love the perspective from the blind and it's just fun to use! I will say, it gets a bit crammed in there while filming 😆

@laku4412 3 года назад

Your passion for the animals and the joy photographing them really shows in your videos. Thank you for sharing it and getting me out there when I'm not, so to speak ;) Keep going, always looking forward to your new videos, all the best, L

@JimmyBreitenstein 3 года назад

That's so nice of you to say, thank you so much for the nice comments! From one who hasn't always been able to get outside when I would like to be, this makes me so happy to hear 😊 Thanks again and I hope you're able to get outside to have some fun this week!

@laku4412 3 года назад

@@JimmyBreitenstein I sure will go birding a couple of hours in between other stuff, even tho my schedule is tightly packed, this is a must to keep me alive and sane XD Thanks again for your time and effort, I really appreciate it a lot!

@thomastuorto9929 3 месяца назад

Great footage of the American Avocets. Maybe the Stilts seen hunters in blind before!

@JimmyBreitenstein 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much, I've found that they tend to be a lot more flighty in my area, it's quite the mystery 🤔

@publictoilet7832 2 года назад

very lovely photograph dude. my diy floating hide almost finish probably next week and im excited to photograph water birds..

@JimmyBreitenstein 2 года назад

That's awesome! I wish you the best of luck, it's so fun to use them, I hope you get some great images!

@cango5679 Год назад

I have a floating blind myself, and it's hard work, but lot's of fun. Hard, because it's hard to find right places, and my season here is quite short, and very cold at the beginning (from -3C and up air temp) And shooting in the mornings, often mist is created, and while great at times, it destroys sharpness :-)

@JimmyBreitenstein Год назад

You said it well! It is a lot of work for sure, but always worth it in the end 😁

@ottrebane8269 3 года назад

I could watch this type of scene for hours. The floating blind idea seems so much fun. Thanks for sharing!

@JimmyBreitenstein 3 года назад

I couldn't agree with you more! It doesn't get much more peaceful than being in the midst of all those beautiful birds and having them act completely naturally! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment, have a wonderful day!

@keithmacdonald4805 3 года назад

Another excellent video and images as well. That floating blind looks like a lot of fun and if we had a good location to use one I would build one myself. You must be just about ready to head for the tundra to photograph the Grizzleys. I am looking forward to seeing your videos from that trip. Have a great week and thanks for sharing!!

@JimmyBreitenstein 3 года назад

Thanks so much Keith! It's such a great way to photograph birds, if you're ever in my area let me know and you can give it a try! Yes, I'm hoping to have those videos together in the coming month and a half or so, fingers crossed. Have a great week and stay safe out there.

@birdwatcherlubuski Год назад

The water is so shallow the stilts have their feet barely wet - were you lying down in the water completely? I don't think it would be possible to hunch over this much... Great footage and pictures!

@JimmyBreitenstein Год назад

Very acute observation! I was in a deeper hole in the water here. Even so, It was very shallow and my back wasn't very happy with me after this outing, haha.

@robertlawrence7958 3 года назад

Lovely images again. Have you modified your hide now? I remember you saying that you were going to make the platform a U shape to make it easier to get in and out of.

@JimmyBreitenstein 3 года назад

Thanks Robert! I still haven't made time to modify it 🥴 I'll be making a new one this winter, hoping to make it a bit lighter as well.

@brandt_bennett 3 года назад

@@JimmyBreitenstein will you be doing videos of this new build? It would be cool to follow along, but I also don’t know the process and if it is easy to film.
