Hairy Woodpecker Video

Male Hairy Woodpecker

Testing out the capabilities of our new Sony HD camcorder.

The above video is a 8mb file, so dial-up users beware!  (clicking the link will open the video in your default wmv player) I am still learning my video editing program, so be patient for videos with smaller file sizes, but in a larger format.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Happy birding!

American Robins in Auburn

I found this video on YouTube showing a flock of Robins in a crabapple tree just after a snowstorm in Auburn, Maine.

Unfortunately, I can not find out who the author is to give proper credit. If this is your video, please let me know.

Video Birding

This post will be somewhat of a test for the video plugin I have for my birding blog.

The following videos were taken this morning at Goose Rocks Beach near Kennebunkport, Maine. File size will be beside the video name heading, and all videos are in the .wmv format. If video does not auto-start, please click the play button on the player. You may also click the link below the video and Windows will open Windows Media Player to play the clip. Enjoy!

Let us know what you think of the videos and if you would like to continue to see them added to our articles. Later today, I will post my regular weekly article with photos of our birding adventures.

Happy birding!

Early morning birding video

The trip to Scarborough Marsh this morning didn’t pan out as expected, so my wife and I went instead to the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge near Biddeford Pool, Maine.

Much activity was encountered, including the spotting through my binoculars of a Gray Jay! (If someone out there in the know could possibly contact me concerning the sighting probabilities of a Gray Jay in Southern Maine, I would appreciate it.)

We met a fellow birder along the way and exchanged some notes. This gentleman had a terrific camera with a lense on it that looked like a cannon! And I don’t mean the brand name Canon.

We shot some video, and I am including a clip here of sandpipers feeding in the marsh. Later, as time, permits, I will include video of Great Blue Herons, An Eider with chicks and a few Greater Yellow Legs seen this morning.

Video Length:1:07 Size:5.81 mb Format:.wmv

Please leave a “Passing Comment” and let me know what you think of the video.

Thanks for watching and happy birding!
