My wife and I were on the same guided tour as you. This was our first-ever birding event. We enjoy viewing your videos. Funny to see both of us in this video. Keep up the great content; we love it.

I know Raymond! I've birded with him quite a few times. Not as part of a tour, but just as a fellow birder here in New Mexico (he is from Albuquerque). He is a phenomenal birder and has a great eye and ear. In fact, he is personally responsible for several birds on my life list that I may not have spotted otherwise. I'm glad he was able to spot one for you. I don't have that species on my list as of yet. Congratulations!

Good morning 🌅 to you two from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. OWLS 🦉 are nocturnal birds, and it’s so amazing that you two were able to spot these OWLS 🦉 in broad daylight 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good evening from the USA! Friend, you're mistaken. Owls (Barred, Great Horned) are readily spotted in day light hours here in rural & towney (pop. 40k) southern Wisconsin U.S.A., especially when they are hunting day & night to feed their young. The first owl we saw decades ago here was in the dark driving a 2 lane "country" rd. near a 6 lane Interstate highway. All the other owls since we've see in day light, in flight & perching within substantial trees (as recently as last week, what we guessed was a breeding pair of Horneds; the female was massive! SO COOL!

When I lived in Palenque Mexico, a group of 6 of these hung out in our backyard every night for about a week, often on a branch just above our door. Such cool birds! You can see a video I got of one of them on my channel if you're interested.

Some of the Owl footage was from our friend Chris who uses a Canon R6 II I believe? Some of our I shot with the OM-1 Mark II with the 150-600mm lens and Ryan was shooting with the Panasonic LUMIX FZ-80. If you have a specific clip in mind I can tell you what it was shot with
