| Hi Everyone, I know a lot of us have camera's now that take video so I thought we could try a new subject thread for just video's of birds. You will have to link up your video's to Youtube or some other video hosting site and put the link in your post here along with any information you would like to share about where it is taken etc.
I'm like a lot of you in that I have never tried the video on my camera and I hope this will give people like us the extra incentive to start learning and taking video of birds in our backyards or other favorite places we like to watch birds.
Please be sure to try this as we would absolutely LOVE to see your video's.
Nanny will be starting us off with the first video and I hope many more of you will join in with your own.
Thanks so much!!

| Thanks Pelle!!
I hope we will all use this as a great oppurtunity to learn how to use a great feature on our cameras. I think it will be lots of fun!
There is a learning curve to shooting videos and one that I have learned already is this...If you are inside shooting thru the window check the sound on the TV and take away the dogs squeaky toys!! lol

| Good one nanny! I love the excellent way that video shows the large size of the Pileated Woodpecker! They certainly are gorgeous and I hope to see one someday.
LOL on the learning curves but very "sound" advice. ;-) |

Here's a mini video of the mating dance of the male House Finch...pulling out all the stops for a female. I wish it was a bit longer...oh well. Toward the end, DH makes a bit of a commentary...LOLOLOL

Susan I see you used Photo Bucket, does it take long to upload it on there? Nice one of the mating dance.
This one I already posted on the Daily thread, but I think it belongs here. Redpolls feeding frenzy during a snow storm.

GREAT video! They are noisy, that's for sure! I have yet to see a Redpoll here. We can have near 100 Gldfinches and not even a peep out of them...HA!
Here's one of the local Hawks...juvie Cooper's, next to our bedroom window and just finished enjoying a "Scooby Snack". I was tapping on the window so it would look up at me...

| Hello Pelle,
For me, I upload the majority of my videos on photobucket and just a few of my favs to youtube. It's JMO, but I find there are so many "nothing all that great" videos, on youtube. For example, the 2 videos I shared already in this thread aren't the best, so I put them on my photobucket acct. After awhile I delete them and start over...
Here's an example of one I put on my youtube acct...which I still think is pretty cool :D

| Thanks for the comments Pelle, Nanny Mrs-Ed and Susan. Mrs-Ed those are really good videos of your birds. I`m hoping my nest boxes will be used this year. Funny one of the Hawk too.
Your house Sparrow look mighty thirsty Susan. Cute what he did.
I tried to upload one of a Robin building a nest, and it was not accepted. The files was to big. I`d like to know, how to edit some of the video, cut some stuff out, and link it back to the other part. Has anyone tried that?
Susan, here are some noisy Goldfinches for you, lol These are Fledglings wanting to be fed.
This video was taken on the same night as the Hummingbird, pouring rain out.

| Hey Hack, I've taken video with my 7D, point and shoots and my bird camera takes 10-second videos. The point and shoot videos are easier for me since the camera is so much lighter than the 7D. the one thing I learned early on is to be sure and turn off your image stabilization on the 7D lenses or you'll pick up a clicking sound.

| "Turn off your image stabilization on the 7D lenses" - thanks for the tip, Mrs_Ed. Got the 7D yesterday - it is nice, Have only taken a few pics, Don't know anything about the 7D's video - yet. Since the 400 does not have IS, I'll have to make a point to remember to turn IS off when I put the new 70-300 L in the tripod. But, I kind'a plan to shoot the 70-300 free hand, so IS will be on.
My Nikon P5100 Coolpix does video and I'm used to it. I'm probably use it first.
