Hiking CAPE SPLIT and looking for BIRDS ! (POV Bird Photography in Nova Scotia)

The Cape Split trail is one of Nova Scotia's most beautiful hikes! The trail brings you to the meeting point of the Minas Basin and the Bay of Fundy- places known to have the HIGHEST TIDES in the WORLD!
Join me as I hike this trail in search of birds- the area is also a known hotspot for migratory birds as it provides a forested refuge for birds flying over the water.
If you hike this trail, please be careful. There are steep, slippery cliffs above some deadly ocean currents. Cell service may be un-reliable and medical assistance could take a significant amount of time.

Definitely heard a black throated green warbler and a wood thrush during the video if those are lifers for you. Congrats on the lifers and thanks for the fantastic video

[@bassinaroundns5018]

You must have a keen ear Malcolm, I hope to make it to Cape Split this summer. They are on my list!

[@t.alexmoore]

Yep lots of BTG warblers and thrushes! I've photographed the BTG and the three main thrushes in Nova Scotia (Hermit, Swainson's and Wood) so I didn't spend much time looking for them on this hike. I'm still searching for the Bicknell's thrush- thats a lifer yet to be photographed!

[@malolm]

@@t.alexmoore I have a good feeling you’ll get Bicknells soon! I love you video keep up the great work

[@JohnFraser-v7s]

Alex, I love the videos you have posted and especially the commentary you provide. It's easy to see why you are so enthused with this hobby! Keep them coming.

[@t.alexmoore]

Amazing video! Ton of birds. Seems like you had great time! Cheers ❤

[@t.alexmoore]

Thanks! I certainly did have a great morning despite the lack of visibility!

I have to rely on my Merlin app to hear most birds. 7 years on the M1A1 Tank and my hearing is shot for high pitch noises. Another gr8 video.

[@t.alexmoore]

I use Merlin every day as well my friend. Its a great way to learn in the field!

[@tracyreaume6451]

I love warblers! Beautiful trail.

[@t.alexmoore]

This trail is AMAZING on a sunny day. Can't wait to go back in 2024!

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

Really nice video. I love the way you take the picture and then show picture and the name of the bird.

[@t.alexmoore]

Glad you liked it! The video I just released is when I re-visited the same location but on a beautiful day!
