I took six weeks off from uploading, for no particular reason. But I'm back on the horse, this time off to Captree State Park and Robert Moses State Park. I was looking for shore birds. But disaster struck -- I lost my GoPro! Will my video be lost forever? Well, no. Because, here it is.

Glad to see you back. Great to see that even very close to or right in urban areas there is plenty to keep bird photographers busy 😀. Thanks for the upload.

Nice to see all the shorebirds that are not common in my neck of the woods and some of the more common birds as well. Thanks for sharing

Hi John, I've just found your channel through Thomas Heaton's video and had to sub. Great channel my friend and I always wonder why Youtube doesn't recommend me more channels like yours (I often get the same feedback from my subs too). Anyway, I'm off to watch some more of your videos 👍

An old photographers trick that I learned back in the day from the Pro Instructor's at Nikon. . Shoot a copy of a business card, or something with a phone number on it. If you lose some gear, it will hopefully be found by someone honest, and returned.
