  • I finally get bucket shots I've waited years for as I head to the biggest bird and wildlife photography event in North America for bird week, at the Ottawa National wildlife Refuge and Magee Marsh Wildlife Refuge along the shores of Lake Erie for Spring migration.

    Awesome Kevin. Well done. Myself, today, I made a major screwup by not bringing my camera with me. I missed the big bird shot of my life. My friend and I went fishing on on a reservoir just South of the British Columbia Border. Their was not another soul anywheres for miles, much less on the lake. Had high clouds and beautiful light. I was running the boat, when my friend started pointing a North. Look, look, unbelievable he was yelling. I was looking up in the sky but saw nothing, than there it was about three hundred feet above the water and moving towards us. It was a C130. It was unbelievable. It slowly passed us and then slowly banked left and came back towards us even lower yet. It was spooky. It disappeared around a curve. The only identification marks we could see were what appeared to be invasion stripes in front of the tail section. I’m still having the shakes and kicking myself for not taking my camera along in the boat. A very hard lesson for me today. Have a good one now.

    Hey Kevin, it's so cool that you had a chance to spend time with the Fox Kit's, they were having a great time playing together.
    Funny... I was thinking how we would feel if all birds and wildlife were too get together for a ten day event watching and searching for humans. Being stared at and photographed all the time... lol
    It sure looks like you had an amazing time!

    Soooo jealous of the fox kit pictures! I’ve never seen one let alone photographed them! Nice work. I just got back from my bird week adventures! So much to see in this area! I’m a little over an hour away. Trying to find blue grosbeaks this year, which is a lifer for me. If you have any tips, it would be appreciated! Great work and the music was perfect!

    • @KevinNordstrom
      @KevinNordstrom  Рік тому

      Thanks Kellmar. Always fun out there. Unfortunately no tips on the grosbeaks. I've never photographed them yet. Would be awesome too though. Thanks for the encouragement. Spring is a great time to get out with our cameras. I'm gonna dabble in some macro photography on the channel as well when the summer hits.
