Horicon is amazing! I can't wait to go back next year and spend more time there. You're fortunate to have such a neat spot so close to you. Thanks for the great video!
Good morning 🌅 from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. In Japan, there are the Red-crowned Cranes, also called the Manchurian Crane, is a large East Asian crane among the rarest cranes in the world. In some parts of its range, it is known as a symbol of luck, longevity, and fidelity.
Thank you! For the bird shots we almost always use the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ-80, and then I use a Nikon D5300 for the vlog shots with a Rode external mic. Anything of the birds (unless we get super close) that is photo or video is with the Panasonic cams.

As always you guys do such a great job , what is the best time of the year to go to the Horicon Marsh . And another Bird I would love to see I don't know if they have it there at the Horicon Marsh how about a Black Rail .😅
It depends what specific species you’re looking for. May is great for rarities and species stopping over. Summer is really good to because all the breeding marsh species will be there. Black Rail would be a massive rarity there but some people hypothesize with the sheer size of the marsh that some could be there
hi, beautiful place. I love birds.
Us too!
Really enjoyed this thanks so much!
You're welcome!
Wow👍🏻👍🏻
It was a great day!
Fabulous video! Ty!
You're welcome!
I love the rail chicks!! They are so cute.
Agreed!
Awesome video! Cant wait to find my first rails
It's very rewarding to see rails because they can be so elusive. Best of luck!
That VA rail footage was sweet. Great video!
Thanks, Gabe!
Awesome adventure... thanks guys.
You're welcome, Kate!

It is such a gem!
Just have to say I love and miss Calvin and Hobbes! Great avatar! 👍
Thanks so much, I've never seen these rails & the chicks are a great bonus! Keep up your good work.
You're welcome! We were really excited to see them. Super cute.
Those rails are adorable! Great find!
Agreed! Thank you!
Great video guys. Thanks for making it!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Those tiny rails were so cute...
good video guys, the boardwalk was the saving grace this year when the rest of the marsh was slow.
Thanks, Todd! Love the boardwalk.
Thanks guys. Always a joy to watch. I bird primally in Rhode Island where things are fairly quite now as we wait for the seabird migration to begin.
You're welcome, John! Hope it's a good migration for you!
Wow what a day! I went out there a few weeks ago, but it was still hot out so most things were hiding during our time there.
Yeah, mornings are normally the best, especially on super hot days.
Great video guys I like the boardwalk wish we had something like that here !
Good boardwalks can be hard to come by! A lot of the ones in south Louisiana are super short.
Looks like an awesome day!!! I traveled up to see a common shelduck in Quebec recently, was a lovely trip
It was! And awesome!

That looked like a fun birding trip! Horicon Marsh is one of the places I really want to go, but over 1,500 miles away from me.
It was! Would definitely recommend checking it out if you're ever in the area.
Really enjoy the quality of your shots and vids. Do you use the same camera for both?

Loved seeing the Whooping cranes! They should be headed down here next month or so. Do you have plans to return to Texas any time soon?
I (Derek) shot a couple videos in South Texas that I still have to edit. I may be doing some more stuff there soon.
What cameras do y’all use

Does the Eastern Wood Peewee sound like Peewee Herman when he laughs?
Could be happening in the forest when nobody is around to here it. Can't say for sure.

I want to see a rail! Even a Sora I want to see.
Do you guys not carry binoculars???
Normally we don’t!
@@BadgerlandBirding that's CRAZY talk! I feel naked without my bins.
WTH why would someone hunt a whooping crane?
For their meat and plumage mostly.
@@BadgerlandBirding oh Lord! Thanks for the info.
