Hello, I am French and I only knew Maine through Stephen King's books. Woh, it's beautiful! Thank you for sharing your adventures in such beautiful places.
Thank you for another great video! I am a plant ecologist and nature photography enthusiast - now that I'm out of grad school I've been having fun shooting occasional vlogs of my hikes out in nature. I've really enjoyed discovering your channel! What a wonderful day you had - beautiful shots of both the red-winged blackbirds and the deer.
Thanks, Austin! I know the struggle of grad school all too well (but I only did a masters). I made 2-3 vlogs while in grab school and it was difficult to find the free time to edit them. Glad you are on the other side and making some content. Appreciate you watching!
I just discovered your channel. Beautiful work. I was having a heart attack watching you stand and paddle that kayak with your gear in the boat! I used to have a sit in kayak for Lake Erie and local lakes and would never stand in that! I’ve been too chicken to bring my camera on a kayak! Maybe yours is designed for it. It’s so fun to see the fawns this time of year! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks, Liam! It was really good to see some kayak photography. Too bad about the lack of herons, but I'll never pass up taking a good photo of a RWB. I blew out my rotator cuff at the end of March and had to have it reconstructed, so I'm living vicariously through your video. Just getting to the point where I can lift the camera, but the Doc says no paddling this year. Looking forward to seeing how you do with the fawn!
Dang, that’s a bummer! I know a couple people who have had that surgery, so I can imagine the struggle. Glad you are making strides towards recovery and able to start lifting the camera again. I’ll be sure to do another kayak vlog for ya again soon. Really appreciate you leaving a tip. Means a lot to have your support, Rick! See ya soon
Get yourself an IV after losing all those fluids! Nice work Liam, as always fantastic content. I appreciate the new duality of the channel, I appreciate both the home reno and wildlife content. Makes for awesome variety.
Haha yup, before I recorded I downed some electrolytes! Thank you for the kind works and appreciate you watching all my videos! I’m headed on vacation up the Maine coast in the coming week, so excited for you to see what I capture!
The deer captures are awesome. I've been inspired to invest in a trail camera, and it has been so fun to see all the nocturnal animals and a few that roam in the day!
That looks like Pickeral Pond in Appleton where we used to fish as kids, I grew up on the lavender farm. I am wildlife photographer living in Greenville Maine. Let me know if I am right so that we can exchange stories! Eric
Ok, Liam. Let’s do some gear talk. 😎 I’m a biologist and wildlife photographer out of Toronto, shooting in Northern Ontario and, when I can, across Canada. I notice you’re shooting out of a kayak and am interested in the model and weight of your boat. I shoot out of a rigid inflatable Airvolution tandem, at 52 lbs. I’m looking for an additional lighter-weight single for local runs up the Humber River in Toronto. (many, many Great Blues and Great White Egrets here - if you’re coming through Toronto, you should check it out). Cheers Tom
I’d love to visit the Toronto area! I’ll keep this in mind. As for my kayak it is the Native watercraft ultimate 12 and weighs about 55-60 pounds (it’s an older model and don’t know for sure. New models are 60lbs). I’ve had my eye in the Old Town Solo Discovery 119 that comes in at 56 lbs and is a little wider than the one I have. I’m more so worried about stability over weight tho. 52 lbs is hard to beat! Let me know if you find something suitable, thanks for watching!
@@liamdmcinerney The single version of the Airvolution is only about 39 lbs. I’ve had my tandem over rocks, and log snags, and everything the Canadian backcountry can throw at it. Super stable. Paddle safe and good luck with the deer. 👍🦌

Thanks again, Rick!
Just landed on your channel - beautiful shots and storytelling! Love the drone work as well, looking forward to seeing more of your videos
Congratulations on a great trail cam capture! I can't wait to see your next video from the hide.... Whitetail extravaganza!!
I hope so! Thanks for watching!

Fascinating kayak photography love your trip tips
Keep up pro 👍🌸

Love this, nice job with the views & shots.
Awesome! 👏

You won’t regret buying one…the only regret you’ll have is only having one! Thanks for watching!
@@liamdmcinerney yes that is true!
Nice, I envy this
Thanks, kappy
Hi, Liam. Interesting film. Good quality video of a deer and a fawn. What model of trap camera is this? Stanislav.
Tragopan Grouse V+
That fawn is soooo cute
So cool to see up close!
Ulanzi makes a suction cup camera mount that would lock up nicely on the front of the kayak.
what is the brand and model of your Tunnel designed hull? BTW I have custom kayak for lakes and I don't like tripod ... limits my ability to pan
It’s a native watercraft ultimate 12. I agree, tripods (and monopods) are difficult from the kayak
@@liamdmcinerney I think it is same model as Mark Smith uses.

That is correct! I live right around the corner from the lavender farm. I bet the wildlife up in the Greenville area keeps you busy!
