I can't decide if you're a better storyteller or photographer, probably because you're amazing at both. This video was truly spectacular and you live in an incredible area. Stay safe.

Mark, your photography is beyond question. However, I also love your commentary about each sequence. I hope the current situation is not a problem for you, let us know.

Excellent Mark, both the pictures and the narrative. With so many of us locked down this video really lifted the spirit. You seem to understand nature like birds do. In one of the comments, someone expressed that even before to be an excellent photographer you were a bird. I agree.

Simply beautiful birds. Looking forward to our first workshop with you in Washington this May (hopefully it gets to happen) and planning to do your Osprey workshop in Florida this fall. Love your storytelling, photography, and can't wait to meet you.

I know you use the 600mm prime, (I wish!!!!) but I just wanted your honest opinion on the A9/200-600mm for birds in flight or fast moving animals? And maybe the link to any videos relating to my question? Kind Regards Cris UK

Incredible photos, Mark! It's almost impossible to pick a favorite but.... that reflection shot of the Pelican at 8:53 is outstanding!!! And I love those Spoonbills, too! Thought it was pretty cool how the nesting material in each photo got bigger and bigger as time went by. It's almost as if they were competing to see who found the largest branch.

Great video Mark, we love watching these videos and really love seeing the images you're capturing down there. We should have been driving down today. But sadly, we had to cancel our trip to Sebastian due to the current situation that is gripping our country. To add to the stress, here in Illinois we are being ordered to shelter in place starting tomorrow. So after today, I won't be able to visit our local hot spots that are currently teaming with migrating waterfowl. In the mean time, keep up the great work and we'll be looking forward to viewing the new video you're working on. Stay safe down there.
