    Great video and very well put together. Bet that three hour wait was so worth it! What a beautiful bird that kingfisher is. I’ve seen them a couple times at the refuge but was never able to photograph them both times was so unexpected and they flew by so quickly

      Yes it really was. It’s one of those birds where you really need to sit and wait for it to show up because otherwise they are very skittish. I couldn’t tell you how many times I ended up scaring one and I didn’t even know it was there! Thanks for watching!

    What a great outing, Todd. Great time of the year, also, to locate nests for future photo adventures. Take care now.👍👍

      Thanks for watching they are fun and challenging to photograph. I believe I got them from Cabela’s, but you can find them online at a lot of different retailers. I know there are a few on Amazon.com.

    The kingfisher a bird on my bucket list, beautiful video Todd , can you say what backpack you have please 🙏

    • @ToddDeWaldPhotography
      @ToddDeWaldPhotography  Рік тому

      Kingfishers are awesome birds to watch and impressive hunters. Definitely a bird worth being on the bucket list. I use the F-stop brand backpack. I have links to all my gear in the bottom of my video descriptions if you want to check it out. let me know if you have any other questions.

    What is your tripod setup?

    • @ToddDeWaldPhotography
      @ToddDeWaldPhotography  Рік тому

      I use a benro tripod and a Mannfrotto video head. I have links for them in the description of the video if you want to check them out further.

      While they can be overwhelming, they are one of the first signs of spring up here! Thank you for watching!

    Todd thank you. May I ask what camera, lens and tele converter if used, tripod and head you are using and how you rate the ease of movement and stability of the head? Great video.

    • @ToddDeWaldPhotography

      Thanks for watching, For this video I used the canon R5 with the 600 mm F4 Version II and a 1.4 teleconverter. I also use a Benro Tripod and Manfrotto Video Head. The exact models can be found below the video in the description with affiliate links to the products on amazon. I like using the Manfrotto video head because it is nice and smooth for video and the tension can be adjusted, however it is much heavier than a gimbal head. I find the stability of the tripod to be best when it is not fully extended, which is to be expected from a cheaper model tripod.
