Aww man, this was so awesome. I enjoyed it from beginning to end and I'm super envious but happier that you guys spotted the rare Cerulean Warbler. How cool!
I've recorded about 30 species of Warbler in my little migrant trap of a yard in Midtown Omaha since 2012. Some of the better species have been Cerulean Warber (2016), Black-throated Blue Warbler (2016). Yellow-throated Warbler (2012, 2020, 2021), Hooded Warbler (2015, 2020), Pine Warbler (2012, 2017), and MacGillivray's Warbler (2018).
That place rocks. The Cerulean was one of the elusive little ones that I had to count without seeing due to hearing its call so distinctly. It took me five years to get a photo. Nothing like a successful hunt.
I miss this!!! It's right around the corner! Still looking for first of year pine warbler here in downstate New York, have had yellow rumps and orange crowns overwintering.
Follow Thomas We shot this a few weeks ago so sadly our peak migration is over as well :( It just took a bit of time to edit and get ready. I believe we shot the footage on May 15th.
Awesome video again guys! This was my first warbler migration and it was so much fun! Derek, if you still haven’t gotten a cerulean warbler by now you should check out the South Kettle Moraine Forest near palmyra because they breed there! I would think that’s probably not too far away from you guys. Also, why do you choose not to bring binoculars along with your camera? I am always so afraid that I won’t get a good enough look to ID with my camera alone.
Thanks, Peter! We were actually in the South KM earlier today. I was able to get a look at a Cerulean not too long ago (video coming soon), but haven't seen one in the South KM yet, but I know they're there. We've always just kind of used cameras so we're pretty good at spotting stuff through the lens right away and we really like having the ability to snap photos or videos as soon as we see something. Glad you enjoyed your first warbler migration!
Wow. This was fantastic! I really enjoy your videos. Is it really easy using your camera alone to view birds? Is the camera better and easier to use than a pair of binoculars?
We think it is, but we just kind of starting birding with them and never used binoculars. However people who use binoculars will tell you that we’re crazy. It’s definitely a personal preference!
I use both and have such fun! I got a harness strap for the binoculars and a shoulder strap for the camera so it’s pretty easy for me to switch between the two. I do want to get a better zoom - I have a 300mm on my Nikon 5500 (my first digital camera!) but my arms are weak from so much muscle destruction and nerve damage from chronic tick diseases that was pretty severe a few years ago- it makes my arms shake to hold the camera up and I enjoy walking while looking for birds and other wildlife. I do have tripods but it’s not my fav way to take pics yet. I’d like to get better at taking video of the birds with my camera- it’s hard for me to find and focus, even with the adjustable viewfinder screen so for now usually I use my iPhone 14Pro for videos..

Nice!
Can I live in your house every Spring?
You guys are the reason I started birding thank you guys for making these birds!
We didn't make the birds but we appreciate it! lol
@@BadgerlandBirding sorry it was a typo
I love Cerulean Warblers. There are a lot in West Virginia at my old home.

the boys are using the Lumix cameras with the zoom. I just got the FZ80, fabulous and affordable birding camera
It’s true.
This is insane! What a crazy day. Haven't experienced a crazy warbler migration like this yet in Quebec.
Thanks! It was definitely a great day!
I miss this!!! It's right around the corner! Still looking for first of year pine warbler here in downstate New York, have had yellow rumps and orange crowns overwintering.
Coming soon!!!
You guys are awesome! Great stuff!
Thank you!!
Just now watching this show, wow...so many warblers!!! You guys are awesome finding all these beauties!! Love it!!
What a jackpot. I love warblers but can't discern as many varieties as you guys can.
Excellent! Warblers migration in Florida is already over, yours is still in full swing.

Great video. Got my own lifer today of a rare Tropical Parula in Brackettville, Texas.
Sue Smith Thanks and congrats! That sounds awesome!
I love the Warblers!
Great finds and enjoy the tips you give along the way.
I found you from Lesley the bird nerd.
Thanks so much for watching! :)
What an amazing birding session! So fun!
Love your videos!!!!❤
Awesome video, guys! Warblers are pretty sparse here in KS, I may need to come visit next spring!
Nick S. Thanks! You should definitely come visit in the spring!
Thank you for sharing your bird knowledge and coolness 🪬
Great video, got CT warbler and a cerulean of my own out here on Long Island. Best bird this spring was a brown booby though
Thanks! And nice! Awesome birds. Can you send the CT our way?
I saw a cerulean warbler last spring as well as many other species here in southern Alabama.
Congratulations! Cerulean Warblers are such cool birds!
Another nice vid guys congrats on all the warblers
Limeybirder Thank you! :)

Warbler migration is so much fun!
