Bird Photography on a Freezing Fall Morning!

In this video, we try to photograph some birds in a nature center near my home. Despite how it looks, it was so cold that morning, and my fingers reached temperatures beyond feeling... We find a nice group of Turkeys, and get close to a Red-tailed Hawk! Along with seeing a pair of Bald Eagles, with many other birds. Enjoy!


Camera: Nikon D500

Also, any odd noises you may hear me making are called "Pishing." It's a technique used to attract small birds and to get their attention. Although sometimes I will subconsciously do it to all sorts of birds.
