Filming this video proved to be quite a challenge, and I had anticipated more action considering the time I spent in the field. It served as a valuable reminder that even though there is an abundance of wildlife around me, patience and dedication are crucial allies for achieving success in this pursuit. And, of course, a fair share of luck may also play a significant role. 😄

[@coastalforgecoffee1507]

The way the quail run is pretty funny. Great video

[@MattShannonPhoto]

haha yeah, I had to zoom in and slow it down it was so good!

[@jerprouse146]

It's so amazing to see these perfect beings. I wish humans were more like them. America

[@MattShannonPhoto]

I will try to be like them. I doubt I have what it takes.

[@coffeeatitsbest1500]

Boom! Like a fine roast of coffee brewed to perfection and served in a gold cup!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

haha yes, just like that.

[@jonstout7635]

Your persistence dwarfs mine several fold. Thanks again for the hard work and wonderful scenes.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

It was one of those moments where you put a lot of effort in at the start and you think its just a bad day or you need to give it a bit more time. But then....weeks go by and you can't quit because you are in too deep. fast forward a few months and you're ready to build your own eagles nest and film puppet eagles acting out the action instead. Happy to pull it all together into one episode. lol

[@jonstout7635]

@@MattShannonPhoto I began following the hawks in my area in 2015, when my longest lens was only 150mm. I didn’t give up, and the months went on and on. Amazingly a few young ones allowed me to come close, so close you would thought I was in a zoo.

[@MrTmiket0007]

Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always, beautiful photos, I love eagles and all birds, keep up with the awesome content 🐦🦅🤗

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you! There are a lot of eagles here and I was expecting a lot of action....but during nesting season it was slow 😄. I didn't expect this video to take so long to make. Thanks for watching another video of mine. See you on the next one, cheers!

[@BudBetz]

Another great video! As always Matt, Well Done!!!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

🙌🙌 glad you liked it! This one took a while to put together but I learned a lot. Thanks for watching and the supportive comment! Always appreciated thank you!

[@mere_mort4l]

Fantastic project you had there, Matt. Thanks for sharing, it was an immense pleasure to watch!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

So great to hear thank you! I hope to keep the good vids rollin 🙂

[@patriciablyler6484]

Hi Matt! I really enjoyed your video and photos!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Excellent thank you! Thank you for watching and you kind comment. Have a great day!

[@onlyvideoillupload]

How the heck do you not have 100,000 subscribers? The videos are top tier from start to finish in terms of pacing, presentation, audio, and education. I have learned ALOT since I have started to watch.

[@BudBetz]

Ditto!!!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Made my day thank you! I hope with time the channel will take off but until then, I appreciate the encouragement!! These are the comments that keep me up at night because I am excited about filming the next adventure and sharing it with you. I have a list of episodes but I'm open to any suggestions 🙂. Thank you for the support!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

You guys are the best thank you!

[@onlyvideoillupload]

@@MattShannonPhoto I'm excited you're excited. As long as you're happy and your family is happy, keep making them! The numbers will grow for sure.

[@suvashispaul4909]

You are just doing awesome videography and photography both at a time like I'm watching any dw documentry wow that's awesome 😊

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Wow what a compliment thank you! I need more fans like you, thank you!

[@Sandra-qy7rf]

Wow those eagle nests are wild! I love seeing all of the other wildlife you see on your adventures.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

I think it is important to try and film and capture all the wildlife and landscape I see during my adventures even if the focus is of a particular species or landmark. Seeing the type of flowers that are out, fruit or berries in the trees and bushes, level of water in a river….all of it is important to add to the story. Thanks for mentioning that! We are on the same page 🙂

[@daleroyal6449]

Another quality video Matt, Your time and dedication is certainly paying rewards, Your effort to capture the scene in the moment makes the videos even more entertaining,Keep up the great work and thankyou once again!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Much appreciated, thank you! I'm loving the video process and story telling. I am learning a lot a trying new things but I am happy it is paying off. I also have exceptional viewers like yourself who are super supportive which helps. Thank you! Feedback is always appreciated.

[@paulkirk5760]

Great video! I love the island! You’re so lucky with the wildlife and scenery.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Super lucky! Thanks for the comment. I am envious of your profile picture of the two bears.

[@paulkirk5760]

@@MattShannonPhoto The Grizzly your was out of Campbell river to Bute inlet. I’d love to do your Echo Bay workshop but family commitments prevent it!

[@PatriciaDavidsonPhotography]

What a wonderful video! Just love the visuals and wildlife. Great job Matt!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you so much! I didn’t expect this video to take so long gathering content over the months but it was fun. Your profile name has photography in the title. What kind of photography do you do/shoot/take?

[@PatriciaDavidsonPhotography]

@@MattShannonPhoto I’m a professional landscape photographer. I haven’t done much wildlife except when the opportunity presents itself but it’s starting to peak my interest more 😉 I just started my YT channel so your channel is inspiring me as I learn to create content.

[@pelaozoom]

Amazing ❤

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@noneedtochange9413]

Exceptional! Those are some stellar eagle nests, wow. The size of them is amazing.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Every one of them is amazing! It blows my mind how some of them survive huge wind storms along the coast here.

Big fan sir

[@lukeiamyourfather7736]

Prime real estate these eagle nests have on Vancouver Island. A structure of that size must be worth half a Mill. Unless it is build on an old growth tree then its worth millions.

[@parnilsson322]

Great work with lovely photos. I subscribed a few weeks ago 😊

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you for the awesome comment and for subscribing! 😄🙌.

[@ppoletto]

great video and wonderful photos. I'll be on Campbell River on late september with a friend, we'll do one of those grizzly bear watching tours. We enjoy wildlife photography, even though we're on the very beginner level still. We'll have one free morning and afternoon on Campbell River, have you got any tips for wildlife on that area? Any places to go search for eagles perhaps, or maybe seals? greetings from Brazil

[@mazenhamdoun8448]

Loving your content ! Keep it up. Any thoughts on the 500 F4 VR2? Not the FL which u seem to have. Looking for a more budget-friendly F4 option. Pre-ordered the Z 180-600 as I think that will help a lot of the time, but when u are in low light situations there seems to be no substitute for wider apertures.

Do ever offer any workshops on Vancouver island?

I use to but lately I have not. Any particular Workshop theme you had in mind?
