Haha oh I bet! City turkeys don’t obey the crosswalk signals. Thanks for watching!

Haha that’s awesome! Lots of veery’s, pine warblers, ovenbirds, and goldfinches while I’m out in the blind. I’ve heard grouse drumming but have yet to capture on camera. Thanks for watching!

Love shooting macro. I had a professor in grad school who was a plant biologist and he loaned me the Sony 90mm macro for a couple months. When money permits, I’d def add that lens to my arsenal, especially for the mushrooms that grow in the woods here in Maine. Once i see them popping up I'll do a vlog on it!

Sounds like great memories! And yes, Acadia can be overwhelmingly busy so we tend to stay over on the Schoodic side and head up to Petit Manan wildlife area. Since I live so close (1.5 hrs) to the major park itself, I tend to wait until late September and October to visit the main park. I hope I capture some seabirds you are thinking of! Either way thanks for watching this weeks vlog, see ya soon!

Thanks!

I hope so! Thanks for watching!

I’d love to visit the Toronto area! I’ll keep this in mind. As for my kayak it is the Native watercraft ultimate 12 and weighs about 55-60 pounds (it’s an older model and don’t know for sure. New models are 60lbs). I’ve had my eye in the Old Town Solo Discovery 119 that comes in at 56 lbs and is a little wider than the one I have. I’m more so worried about stability over weight tho. 52 lbs is hard to beat! Let me know if you find something suitable, thanks for watching!

@@liamdmcinerney The single version of the Airvolution is only about 39 lbs. I’ve had my tandem over rocks, and log snags, and everything the Canadian backcountry can throw at it. Super stable. Paddle safe and good luck with the deer. 👍🦌

Thanks, kappy

Thanks again, Rick!

Dang, that’s a bummer! I know a couple people who have had that surgery, so I can imagine the struggle. Glad you are making strides towards recovery and able to start lifting the camera again. I’ll be sure to do another kayak vlog for ya again soon. Really appreciate you leaving a tip. Means a lot to have your support, Rick! See ya soon

Haha yup, before I recorded I downed some electrolytes! Thank you for the kind works and appreciate you watching all my videos! I’m headed on vacation up the Maine coast in the coming week, so excited for you to see what I capture!

Thanks, Austin! I know the struggle of grad school all too well (but I only did a masters). I made 2-3 vlogs while in grab school and it was difficult to find the free time to edit them. Glad you are on the other side and making some content. Appreciate you watching!

You won’t regret buying one…the only regret you’ll have is only having one! Thanks for watching!

@@liamdmcinerney yes that is true!

So cool to see up close!

Thank you!

Thanks glen! Now time to get back out shooting some wildlife. Cheers!

So the portion of the house I was working on here was built late 1800s and seems most likely a small cabin or maybe a horse barn. The other half was built in the 50s or so. The biggest giveaway of the age is in the basement where the foundation on the old side is field stone and concrete on the other. Our neighbors actually owned it before selling to the family we purchased from. Small town!

@@liamdmcinerney that’s awesome and great context for those of us following along. Looking forward to seeing the challenges and wins as you work through all of these nuances. Probably going to find a few more “corn cob” treasures as you go!

I most certainly am a laymen when it comes to this stuff!

Thanks Kim! The warmer weather has finally sparked the momentum to get these jobs done haha

Yeah buddy!

Hey Cameron! No change with frequency of posting, as I’ve found these home videos take awhile to film so maybe just one a month? Some projects are small and I’ll likely work wildlife restoration or vlogs into those postings. I think my main goal with this is to still create videos even when I’m stuck inside for a week straight getting a *needed* house project done. And yes, I’d very much like to build a permanent blind down where I set up my feeders. Over the last 2 weeks my path down there has completely overgrown with ferns and other vegetation, so I need to define paths and dig trails. Will be a lot of work that I may leave to the cooler late summer early fall months. But when I do build a permanent blind, you already know I’ll film it! Thanks for your support!

@@liamdmcinerney Fantastic - sounds like it's going to be a busy time for you. Wishing you nothing but luck and look forward to following along through your journey! Remember to put the impact drill down every once in a while and take your time for yourself! Cheers Liam, measure twice cut once!

There will be!

Hey Chris, didn’t know I was so elusive! My apologies, my email is [email protected]…feel free to contact me there. I intermittently use Twitter and Instagram since they can drain much of my time, but email works great. Looking forward to chatting with you. Cheers!

Appreciate you watching. I ended up with the dji mini 4 pro. It’s been great, I will say I push it to the limit in certain wind conditions that has me nervous on occasion. Overall I like how compact and lightweight it is

@@liamdmcinerney I bought that exact model about a month ago. It is my 4th one and definitely the easiest to operate. Enjoy yours. I believe they sure add to a video.

Thanks, Kim! Really appreciate your donation to the suet fund! If you find anything sturdy, let me know

Thanks for watching, Bailey! And ok Im definitely going to give the hot pepper powder mix a try. I’ve seen spicy bird seed before but it was a bit pricey. Thanks for the tip!

I thought about that and I’m not sure. But if a bear has been poking its head around feeders, I’ll catch ‘em on the trail camera soon and will report back. Thanks for watching

Thank you! I’m glad you pair my videos with a morning cup of coffee. Thank you for the support and appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos. Can’t wait to share my next video with you all. Cheers!

Haha…that’s a good point!

Definitely!

Thanks for watching, Brent! I certainly want to go back and explore a few more areas up that way (next time in the summer!)

Thanks!

🙌🏼

Im glad you enjoyed it! Definitely plan to work on longer format videos moving forward. They are challenging to make (and often require posting bi-weekly) but I really enjoy building a story and sharing with you all. Appreciate you taking the time to watch, cheers!

Don’t tell my boss! Haha yeah some times it feels like I’m not actually on vacation but then I remember I’d much rather be running around than sitting in a chair on a beach. And you know how long these videos take to edit. I’m glad you enjoyed this one and appreciate you taking the time to watch! Talk soon

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed! And I don’t have any info on who built the cabin since this was an AirBNB. Wish I knew more because it was a great spot!

Thanks, Cameron! Very similar climate to Vancouver Island, would love to get over there some day. Appreciate you stopping by!
