Orlando, Florida is great for birdwatching thanks to lots of water, plant life, and great weather. I researched the most popular birding hotspots and found the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. I drove my rental car along this 11-mile road. During my visit I saw many great birds and met some nice birders.

I recently visited London with my huge microphone and camera to see what birds I could find. The last time I visited was in 2004 and it rained every day. This time I got lucky with sunshine!
This blog posts shows where I went to see birds and how it was for bird photography and audio recording.

I have watched and photographed birds for fun for the last ten years. I took 45,000 photos, observed 440 species, and made countless memories. For Christmas this year, I made tiny framed prints of more than 50 of my favorite bird photos and sent them to friends all over the country.

Earlier this year, I dove into the world of recording with parabolas when a Pro Mono Parabolic microphone from Wildtronics landed on my porch in a large brown box.
This 22-inch wide dish-shaped microphone blew me away the first time I used it. In the past seven months I’ve used it nearly every weekend and uploaded nearly 100 recordings to eBird.

After testing Bird Buddy’s new Pro camera in my original smart feeder housing, the improvements are clear: better focus, natural colors in harsh sunlight, and fun slow-motion moments. Plus, how the original plastic housing weathered two years of outdoor use.

Like most birders, I go birding in the morning. The day is new and birds are looking for food, water, and romance. But what happens when the sun goes down? Do birds still exist? Last night, I saw a favorite birding hotspot in a whole new way…by the glow of the moon.
