Thanks for watching :)

That music you used... I heard it on 'The Purge' series!

Good stuff. I have never done a true big day and want to give it a try sometime soon. I was curious, how do you get the shots with the bird in a scope? Are you using a scope and special camera or is that just something you add afterwards while editing? What do you use to edit your videos? Thanks!

Great video as always. I passed through so-cal a few years back when I visited the USA, but wasn’t a birder then. I am sad now that I missed the opportunity! What do you use for your telescope video? Is that just your camera with a zoom lens on? Plenty of slow-mo shots when you were walking shirtless. Haha. You worked hard for that rig. You definitely should let the ladies admire it.

Evan and I are planning a trip out to San Diego in the next year or two, we’ll definitely have to put the Salton Sea on our list of places to visit! That looks like a pretty productive start to a big day, the Gambel’s quail and greater roadrunner were great finds and the abundance of water bird species there is incredible. Too bad about the yellow-legged gull giving you the slip, hopefully the epic burrowing owl sightings made up for it. Looking forward to part 2! - Harrison and Evan

Great video! Makes me want to get out to the desert for some birding!

Great video, enjoyed being along for your big day. Hope to get out to visit some family in CA, so many cool new birds for a midwesterner.

Last time I was there I didn’t see many birds. I heard there are less and less lately 😢

I've just seen another video from you explaining how binoculars work and it seemed to me you slimmed down like have your weight then... great video, great body!

[@FollowThomas]

Wow, this is cool. I do the Big Days 3-4 times a day too. My personal record is 113 species a day but usually little over hundred. It's a fun challenge! 👍🙂

Hey Ed.. Great video.. Just a doubt..Are Black-necked stilt and Black-winged stilts the same?

[@Adventure.Ed.EcoFit]

Black-winged are the Eurasian species, I believe. here in North America we have black-necked. Thanks for watching!!

Man, I love birding Salton Sea. Also, I know this was summer, and it's only part one, but Cattle Call Park in Brawley has one of the westernmost spots to see Gila Woodpeckers.
