Seeing 100+ Bird Species during a San Diego Big Day!

[@yuutuubewacher]

Hi Jordan, Wow, you had a seriously BIG day, 100+! I liked the heron trio, the bobcat 🐱and the gnatcatcher, in particular. Great to see all those new seabirds, thanks to your guide Mark. Looking forward to meeting you soon!

[@brighteyedbirding]

It was a long day but it's a great feeling to have a big day like that! I can't wait to go birding with you!

I just love that theme music at 12:10 and other spots. Very soothing

[@brighteyedbirding]

Glad you enjoyed the music! I think I've found my core set to move forward with!

[@earnestlad1872]

@@brighteyedbirding I think you are going to do really really well. Best wishes

[@ShepStevVidEOs]

I know this doesn’t have anything to do with birds, but I like the background music.

[@brighteyedbirding]

Glad you enjoyed the music! It's all from the same artist too! Chris Haugen is their name.

[@TheBackyardAviaryAdventures]

seriously good video Jordan!

[@brighteyedbirding]

Thanks my friends! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Upturninq]

I got 7 different lifers today too! Let me know when you figure out the date for which you are going to Huntington Beach Central Park.

[@brighteyedbirding]

Heyyy congrats! I'll let you know!

[@Upturninq]

@ much appreciated. I’m excited!

[@MinePrincessAmea]

Definitely blessed to be a birder that lives in La Jolla. Your friend did a great job bringing you to the best spots. Sometimes living here I forget just how wonderful it is! It’s nice to see someone else’s excitement :)

[@brighteyedbirding]

You are truly in an amazing place for birds! I'm very jealous! Also, the weather is AMAZING.

[@olenskafanboy]

Isn't it nice to go to a new state or country and get a bunch of lifers? How are you gonna survive going back to your old haunts and grinding out lifers slowly now? 🤣 Great video. Was nice to see your excitement over seeing some of these cool birds for the first time. The bobcat was VERY cool though.

[@brighteyedbirding]

Haha, I'm in CA for about 3 months of the year, so CA will slowly turn into that as well. The nice thing is that CA has WAY more birds to find! Thanks so much for watching! I couldn't believe we saw a Bobcat as well!

[@StellarLimpkin]

Mudflat? More like flood flat

[@markdayton6759]

lol! We hit it at high tide!

[@brighteyedbirding]

Good one haha. Yeah the tide was rolling in. Still shorebirds though!

[@markshen3280]

May I please ask about the difference between the Cackling Goose and the Canadian Goose other than size, being smaller and sturdier for the former………🧐🧐🧐🧐🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@MinePrincessAmea]

The cackling goose has a shorter neck! When you see them next to each other in real life it’s a lot easier to see the difference. The cackling goose almost looks like a juvenile Canada goose

[@markshen3280]

Ok, 👌🏼 got it. Thanks 🙏 for the reply 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏😀😀😀😀

[@waynewong3880]

You captured all of these great birds with a camera everyone can afford to buy. Other KZbinrs use $5000 to $10000 camera and lens setups to do basically the same thing.

[@brighteyedbirding]

I appreciate it! YES! Nobody should feel deterred from wildlife videography because they can't afford a high-end camera! You can do amazing things even with budget friendly gear (that being said, I will be upgrading my camera to a $4000 setup in February, but the message remains true)

[@benjaminmaughan6127]

Awesome stuff! We’re going to San Diego next week and are wondering which part of La Jolla you went to.

[@brighteyedbirding]

The hotspot is called Point La Jolla--seawatch. The full trip report is also linked in the description! Have lots of fun! The birds are incredible!

[@benjaminmaughan6127]

So excited!! We’ll definitely check those spots out, thanks for sharing!
