- In this Field Vlog I spend a day scouting for Great Gray Owls in Oregon with a personal focus on the experience rather than the photographs.

Awesomes.
I love everything about this video, but the end monologue really touched me. Thanks so much for everything you do!
Thank you!!
I was excited to see this new upload hit my notifications and it did not disappoint! Thank you for taking us on your adventure and sharing your visions, field craft, and more importantly your wisdoms of nature and photography, but more importantly, how they integrate with one another. Looking forward to hearing updates about your project as soon as you can share!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Thanks for the journey, Gerrit 👍
Thanks, Mike! I’d love to hear how your ‘little’ camping trip went this summer!
Nice easy approach to wildlife viewing
Very well done, love photographing GGOs, would also enjoy the squirrels
I love the concept of leaving the pressure of images behind while you first explore.
Glad you like it!
Outstanding.
Thank you so much for this. Your videos are really important to me because while I care about photography, what I care about more is protecting nature and appreciating it in all its incredible glory.
Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks. Very much like your approach. You have been doing it for years, but I have had a few days when my hunches pan out, the light cooperates and the birds come. Magic. Was at Montezuma last week for the first time. Quite a place.
Thank you! I’ve had some great encounters with both American and Least Bitterns at Montezuma!
Wonderful video Geritt thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yayyy!! New YT content! Thank you!
You bet! Hope you enjoy!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing. GGOs are my favourite, but here in Ottawa, Canada, we only hope they appear in the winter. lol
Hey fellow Ottawa person
@@hb6747 hello
What a beautiful video filled with great wisdom! Thanks so much for sharing Gerrit
Glad you enjoyed it!
So happy for you. What an awesome day. Great greys are rare in this part of Ontario but hopefully one day will see one.
I saw my first outside of Chapleau near Lake Como!
Very nice video. Enjoyed watching 👍
Thank you!
Excellent video! I'm hoping to see my first Great Gray Owls when I go up to Minnesota in February! In the meantime, I'm going to continue shooting the local Great Horned Owls and Barred Owls! (And hopefully, some other species and mamals, if I'm lucky!)
Good luck up there! And good luck back at home!
Thank you for sharing! I fell in love with Great Grey Owls.
We have Great Horned Owls in the trees behind our bedroom. We can hear them hoot to one another at dusk and dawn🦉.
That is awesome!
Thank you..Great video with a lot of good tips looking for the GGO! I am looking for them in my area, and I have seen them several times, but they are elusive and so well camouflaged. Maybe tomorrow!
Good luck!
I am always inspired you. You taught how to look beyond a picture to the experience matter! Thanks for this story
Thank you!
That was really wonderful! Thanks for taking us along!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thank you very much!! Your words about the journey and education being equal or greater than the image itself, ring so true for me!!
Glad That resonated for you as well. Thank you!
Great shots. My favourite bird. We’re fortunate to have a robust population here in the Alberta foothills.
Thanks! Great region for them for sure!
NIce video. Thanks for the tips. Where do you look for info on owl habitat in your area? Im in the Seattle area and have been scouting for owls for a few years now and am finding it fairly hard to find accurate info on how to narrow down my search locations. I watched your screech owl video...that was the first anyone suggested riparian areas to me or that they dont really tree roost outside of winter and breeding seasons. My Great Grey hunting area is about 6 hours from here and I dont get there very often...This will help me narrow my camping locations more. Thanks.
Washington is a bit more tricky in my experience as most of the meadow/pasture/riparian habitat in the area I suspect you are looking is private property and/or developed. I’m sure there are some good places to look though!
Nice video Gerrit. I was wondering when you were going to do another video. The wait was worth it. Are you still using the Z9?
Thank you, Donovan! Yes on the Z9 - updating the firmware for teh bird eye tracking this evening!
Nice to know there's a population in Central Oregon, I wasn't aware of any either side of 97 other than down closer to Crater lake, Klamath area. It seems each decade I see more and more reports from around Oregon, really nice to see them dispersed throughout. There's even some west of the Cascades, but only one place I'm aware of.
I’d like to see them on the west side but private land makes it more difficult
@@GerritVyn yes it does, so much easier to just go to the east side and enjoy all our public lands.
What were the specs on the shot of the moon! What lens? Really impressive! Great shots of the Great Gray!
The video shots? They were shot with my 600mm with and without a 1.4x.
