Your channel is a great example of the wonderful world of UA-cam. Thank you for your work and sharing.
Thanks
You are one amazing photographer, videographer, ornithologist and story-teller - thanks for your work.
Mr. Smith is a photography god !!
your narration is second to none, along with your photos
I can never understand why you don't have 200k subs. Best BIF photographer on you tube, period!
Thanks! Maybe one day!
Mark, you never fail to deliver. The winter owls and the lightly falling snow were exquisite. This banquet of colorful birds expands your pallet. ~ your neighbor
Your videos always cease to amaze me. Beautiful. Love the Spoon Bill family crossing the road.
The snail kites are amazing, having the opportunity to shoot them in a kayak is a blessing. I'd spend all my mornings in my kayak!
Agreed. Great way to shoot them. They already moved on too
Wow!! Amazing and I can’t stop watching your videos- going to Corkscrew later this week when I go visit my folks in FL. I have tickets arranged and cannot wait!! Thx!!
The fighting shots of the two birds are truly epic.
You have the best bird photography on UA-cam, bar none.
Wonderful video Mark. Your narrative is every bit as interesting as your photos are beautiful.
Thanks
INCREDIBLE AS USUAL!!!!!!
Question for your next Q&A: if you have your a9 and a7r4 on these trips near your home, which lens is on which camera and how do you decide which camera/lens setup is best for birds in flight or portraits?
Mark, you are the finest and best 'salesman' for a trip to Florida. If not for your images and videos, I'd only know it for Carl Hiaasen novels, my in-laws boring stories about bugs, and Walt Disney World (no thanks to the latter two!). I have an a9 and the 200-600G and literally, your back yard is pretty much the best thing for me to do with them.
Your love for the birds is fantastic my friend! Keep up the inspiring good work!
Loved seeing all the fluff balls and the stilts fighting. The kites were wonderful. Great shots all around.
The Stilt fight was fantastic, thanks for sharing.
No! National geographic is too boring beyond compared to your narrative story a long this video. Love how you deliver both pics / video and story. Really enjoy it.
Awesome birds photos and you are so fortunate to live so close to an amazing area
How can persons dislike this video? Nature in all his beauty, told with a pleasant story. Thx Mark.
Love it how you narrate every single video, you are doing fantastic 👏🏻 The videos are are very addictive 😀
I liked all your pictures but the images of the spoonbill flying straight toward the camera were my favorites. You take wonderful photographs.
The babies and the wild position mid-air fight!
That was amazing Mark!
Thank you for taking us on yet another fabulous adventure! My favorite image was of the Black-necked Stilt interaction at 11:48. The shadow of the bill really makes that image special, in my opinion!
This will be awesome, you’re very brave taking your 600 f4 and camera out in your kayak! Excellent film Mark, thanks for sharing it! Cheers
Magical moments with the Stilts!
the 3 birds...lol what a funny bunch!
I can’t understand how someone would give a thumb down to a video like this!! Cheers for your beautiful video’s Mark I really enjoy them
ENVY
Mark, I am always blown away with your photos and videos. Not only are they great photography shots but the videos and commentary are so engaging and informative. Keep up the great work. One of these days I'll get down there for a workshop.
Thanks
Time for a new comment! OMG... So entertaining. Thanks for sharing all your amazing shots and bonus commentary. LOVED IT.
Superb work and images as always. The are truly some of the best out there.
Thanks
Super awesome shots!
Wow! Great photography.
Another fantastic video. Please don't stop. Baby Stilts and Stilt fight was really unique.
Thank you, so helpful to a new Sony user.
Glad to hear it!
Outstanding images 👌 👏 👍
the baby spoonbills and the kite snails :) love your videos. I look forward to every video you post. Thank you for all the work you do for everyone.
As ever Mark brilliant Images combined with your wildlife stories. Its great to see your personal favourites when watching combined with the camera and settings..Truly Inspirational.
I find it crazy impressive that you can read the information on the bands placed on the birds' legs!
An excellent presentation. Its sooooo difficult to judge whether the photos were a treat or your commentary? YOUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THESE BIRDS AND SPECIES IS COMMENDABLE ☺
Thanks
Amazing shots as usual, but the stilts were just incredible!
The unison crying out for the loss of the Swamp Hen was sad, but was the circle of life.
Mark your videos are a joy to watch.
I fell like I'm watching some kind of national geographic show. Good job
You are such an amazing artist! Beautiful pictures and wonderful stories. I appreciate your sharing all your work. It's the highlight of my day. I love owls so if you could capture one with your wizardry skills I’d be very grateful
Terrific photography, Mark. The spoonbill shots are out of this world as my dad used to say.
Awesome. Never even knew such a bird as the Snail Kite existed. Amazing captures!
Mind blowing shots Mark!
i think these the best shots that you have taken till date, man what such amazing moments they are and to compliment them your fantastic poetic presentation, i dont know how many times i paused or rewinded to back to see those mesmerising shots, thank you for making such an incredible video
Thanks for the kind words
Watching your videos always makes my day you are so talented
Another great video. So jealous!!! Many thanks and keep them coming!!!!
And Mark Smith is back with a beautiful story to tell with awesome images as usual. I love the stilt fighting scenes... thank you for the awesome video 🙏
Another spectacular video.
Incredible photos
Yet another awesome photo shoot Mark! Those Snail Kites are new to me. Totally incredible birds! Really enjoy watching your videos & always learn something about birds...Thanks much...📷📷👍👍😉😉
Mark, I have to say your channel is one of my favorites right now! I shoot on canon (r5, r6, r7) with the 100-500mm but I am wanting to get some Sony gear now lol I am definitely doing a workshop as soon as I graduate from my masters program next summer and have the time. I visit Florida to see family so it would be a cool experience.
Thanks!!
Mark great work. You have enormous patience to capture those great shots. My favorite and the baby stilts.
What a super video. Thank you for all your work.
Fantastic video, well done. The bird fight is amazing.
Love your photos and videos! Greetings from Costa Rica! Keep safe!
I love to see the incredible pictures you always have in your videos, thanks again!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful wildlife on your doorstep. Your work is appreciated even more now that we cannot travel to see these things ourselves.
Great stuff Mark. The stilt shots were out of this world. Bravo!
Once again you amaze us with your photographs and entertain us with your commentary. I really love your work. (Side note: don't give up your day job for a singing career. LOL) Looks like getting into the water really helps get the shots. Thanks for inviting us along.
I enjoyed the entire video and the way you described what you are doing lol feels therapeutic and relaxing, thank you so much and God bless !! :)))
That stilt fight was so intense!
Fantastic video... every image is amazing but 6:49 is like you said..a piece of Art in real life. The fight sequence capture was brilliant. Always love your work & narration.. a Master at work
Incredible photos!
Love when you post....every time you do the used market explodes:-0). You know....when everybody sells out of frustration.
phooesnax lol
This video was DOPE !
Loved this video! My favorite is the stilts, one of my favorite birds and they are pretty territorial & fiesty. Keep those videos coming 😊.
Another superb video! It was all good, but the Stilt battle was off the hook!
Nice to see you posting again!! Love your stuff. Best to you and yours!
Another super video Mark, you never cease to amaze me. Thanks for sharing.
Each Photograph is a State of an Art .Loke your Shots
Hi Mark
Loved the photos and your entertaining commentary of your outing.
Bird defending their territory always entertaining.
Hi Mark once again thank you for making my time in the UK lockdown bearable fantastic images, ah well at least I photographed a Jay and a robin in my garden this afternoon, love your videos, take care my friend.
And yes, another great video
Another awesome video Mark. Snail Kites so amazing but nothing like the Kung fu fighting birds. Great photos and a well educated video thank you for sharing.
That's amazing how the kites have evolved to cope with the invasive snails.
Tremendous photos, Mark. Really amazing captures.
Great video Mark and a fantastic location is it mainly down to habitat why these Snail Kites are struggling.
Great shots in this video (as well as some of your other vids). Helped convince me to try Sony as my next body.
Super impressive photos, Mark, and a really interesting commentary.
🥰 amazing, your narration and shots!! I love the Rookery in Venice FL and can’t wait to go there this week too! This past spring we had a Spoonbill lost here in south central Indiana for quite some time that I was fortunate enough to see on our reservoir.
Amazing shoot.
Excellent as usual, Mark! Your Stilt images are amazing!
wow i am jealous , you guy's down in florida have the nice birds ... I live in canada...we have some but not as colourful as yours ! wow...hope you and your children's are doing ok ! have a great day and thanks for those beautiful pictures mark
Brilliant Mark, really enjoyed this vlog and seeing the stilt bird and chicks was a pleasure, thanks for sharing, PS love the t shirt 👍
Another great video, Mark. The Spoonbills might be my favorite of the bunch from an artistic point of view. Behaviorally, the Stilt fight was amazing to view. Stay safe, and thanks.
Very nice Mark... as always, you live on the best piece of real estate in the country... Bravo.... also, greatest Heavy Metal band is Iron Maiden... Hands Down!!!!
Amazing work and thanks for picking up the turtle. I live a bit south of you and when I go out to the Glades or other places in the daytime, there is no Wildlife around in this heat. I guess from your video the key is to do it very early when the sun is coming up and the heat does bearable for the birds.
Paradise 10 minutes away from where you live. Man I want to live there.
Had to stay up just to watch your video, been looking forward to it all evening. Great photos and thank you for sharing. You have to many great shots for me to pic a favorite but artistically you had a special touch with Snail Kite and foggy back ground.
look forward to your videos and this one did not disappoint. loved the images of the spoonbills in flight
As always great photos and video. Can't wait for the next adventure.
Love your videos. They always cheer me up!
Wonderful Birds , Amaging shots with beautiful narration. Thnx for upload. Regards fm India
