PIPING PLOVERS being CUTE for 5 minutes.

Piping plovers are a federally endangered species because they live and nest on beaches. They're vulnerable to habitat loss and human impacts, but they're also used to seeing people on beaches. They can be tame and really cute. Birding is easy if you know where to look.

VIxia is the perfect tool for the job...nice! Please do another video when the chicks are hatched. Cotton balls on stilts with a cute scale of 11!

My goal this year is to see them on the sand dunes of West Michigan. They're adorable!

Respect! It's their beach. I just borrow it occasionally.

I agree PPs are the very definition of cuteness. If more people knew how cute they were, more people would want to help conserve them, but then more people would also want to go to the beach to see them, and the added traffic could be a hinderence. Great video

Great panning technique Bob

They are surprisingly speedy. Panning involved twisting my body to follow them in ways that my body hasn't done in a while, LOL.

One of my favorite birds I saw last year when I went to Maine. Hope to see more in June when I go back!

They caught me by surprise. I didn't even bring my usual vlog camera - just my Canon video camera. But they were SO cooperative!

Seeing that one Piping plover looking out toward the ocean reminded me of Bobby Darin's love song, Beyond the Sea. Great video❤

I believe you're correct on the pairing up. I noticed toward the end of your video a PIPL sashaying up to another bird. So cute.

I love the way they run along with their body so steady. Great camera work Bob.

They are SPEEDY! As for great camera work, you should see all the failed shots. When they get up a head of steam, they're harder to follow than flying birds.

Thanks for showing this cute tiny plover. I hoped to see him at Bolivar Flats in Texas, but unfortunately I missed him. The breeding area was fenced there, not in Maine?

the breeding area is fenced in Chicago

Great video!!!! We really like the piping plover. Nice work!!

guess you can tell they're endangered by the fact that they're banded :P but most of them look like they're banded on _both_ legs, huh

Yes, I definitely do.

How can you get the distance shots of the birds and close shot if yourself at the same time? 🙂👍

@Bob_Duchesne Ай бұрын

For thumbnails - Photoshop. For video, two cameras. One for far, one for near. Only, I wasn't expecting to make a video that morning and didn't even bring my little camera.😊

@@Bob_Duchesne love your videos, not just for those great birding tip but also the variety of camera angle, very relaxing in front of the camera... Thanks for sharing.😊
