SPEED BIRDING - Acadia National Park in Winter
Музыка
Here's a challenge. How many birds can you find along the coastline of Acadia National Park in winter, if you had just one day to do it all? What if it's the shortest day of the year, and a winter storm is coming in? Common loons, common eiders, horned and red-necked grebes, all three scoters, frisky buffleheads, frolicking red-breasted mergansers, and the closest purple sandpipers EVER.

What a pleasant surprise of a video!
Super video - wish I had watched before my visit to MDI just last week. Guess I'll have to force myself to go back...
Strange to see no snow , got yourself some good weather for it 🌞
I’ve been in that cave many times in the Summer!
Thanks for this fun and interesting video. For sure I will drive down to Acadia Park in 2023...from southern Québec !

And I'll drive up to southern Quebec ANYTIME. Great birding. Loads of fun.
I am watching your video from Sedona, Arizona; but there is a part of me that wishes I was back in Maine. My last trip to Acadia was in September and it was so crowded I promised myself that I would only return in winter.

Agreed. I only go in summer to get on Bar Harbor Whale Watch for pelagics.
Awesome day out Bob. I would love to get up there before winter sets in. Tons of purple sandpipers out here at Reid State Park and Hermit Island. Oh and glad you got the power back on 😂
That was fun! Thanks for the tour!
Great video!!! Can’t wait to swing over this winter!
Well, this was a fun romp, Bob! Thank you for sharing. I am sending your video to friends and family in California, where I will be spending a few months near Mono Lake, another great spot for bird watching!

Ohh, Mono Lake is awesome. On my one visit (so far) I timed it for the phalarope invasion of the lake. Amazing!
Sea Wall in Manset it also my favorite spot to just sit and look (followed closely by Schoodic Point) Sat on the rocks at Sea Wall one summer afternoon and watched an eagle picking off ducklings one by one. Morbid, but fascinating
I would love to take you to our National wildlife refuge in St.Francisville Louisiana.

I LOVE NWRs! Is yours near the Yellow Rails & Rice Festival? I hit some NWRs around there, but I don't recall names.

@@Bob_Duchesne It's in-between baton rouge Louisiana and Mississippi . And it also runs parallel with the Mississippi River with creeks run through Nwr out to the Mississippi it's beautiful and a little swampy.
