Yep "Mares tails " I found huge droppings under the blackberry bushes with long leaped tracks in the snow hope its a snowshoe haven't seen one in years here in north of Medford Wisconsin April 2024 Had fun watching the flocks of Buffleheads antics on the lake while on their way north.
Disfrutando cómo siempre contigo y demás colegas, maravillosa documentación.PD:Aconsejarme cámara y teleobjetivo buena para esas jornadas de naturaleza de aves.
Thanks so much Pedro! If you let me know what your approximate budget is, maybe I could help. I guess that would have to be in US dollars though. At the low end, it would be the canon SX series which has amazing zoom capabilities with a fixed lens. I use the canon R5 with the canon 100 to 500 mm lens.
Sparky, can you share the make and model of the long boom microphone with the wind “muffle” that you use? I love recording bird songs/calls and share recordings with Cornell Lab of O. I just want to maximize the quality of my recordings.
Hi Scott, thanks for your question! I have been using an old Sennheiser MK-8070 18-inch shotgun mic that was donated to our organization. And then I run it via XLR into a Tascam DR-100 recorder. But I have also use Zoom recorders which I like maybe even better. But I may soon be switching to a parabolic reflector. The shotgun mic doesn’t reach as far as I’d like and doesn’t isolate individual birds as well as a parabola. Telinga is THE company…but pricey.
Beard has gotten longer, looks good!!
Ha! It has Tomas! Haven’t my first Mourning Dove yet!
Thanks Sparky for having us along again on your birding adventure--always such fun!!
Thank you, Charlotte! And thanks for watching.
Gotta love those portable air compressors and Spring snows, Sparky. April is now here. Have a good one.
No doubt! It is snowing again here today :-)
Typically entertaining, beautiful, and informative vid.
Thank you Gary!
Great stuff Sparky! Learned a lot from this video about crossbills! Looks cold over there 😂
Snowing again today! Thanks for watching!
Is there anything Mr Young doesn’t know about finches! Amazing.
And did you like how I plugged my book alongside his?! He is Mr. Finch!
Super,nice nature,your own style of narration
Thank you so much Shree🙂

Sparky Stensaas and Matt Young, on the Mount Rushmore of birders as far as i'm concerned
Can I quote that? Flattered… But Matt would be the one up on Mount Rushmore and I’d be the guy sweeping up after the tourists!
Well bugger. That is why I went there in February. AWD car with 3 peak rated tires. I coulda taken my truck instead! LOL
Ha! Sorry we didn’t have winter for you, Ron. Still contemplating in Arizona trip this summer. Will let you know if I make it down there.
@@SparkyStensaasMy fear is that you'll come and we won't have a monsoon.
maybe some of those crossbills have a Canadian accent , hey.
Yah hey
