Video Birding
August 19, 2007 · Print This Article
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!

John, No wonder my stills are blurry - those guys never stop moving!
Great idea. - Bob Malbon
Bob;
Thanks!
Even with an image stabilized camcorder, these guys are hard to follow!

John,
The value I think video has is when it can capture bird behavoirs (courtship, nest building, paculiar movements to the species, singing individuals, and other things) that still pictures can not capture as well. My advice is to experiment with it for awhile.
