Photographing Birds of the Grasslands: Looking for a RARE Bird

Описание: In this video, I head back out to a grassland habitat that I visited this past winter. I was excited to see how many other species of birds were present in this habitat compared to in the winter and I was not disappointed. This habitat is managed with controlled burns, so the fields are filled with blooming wildflowers and an abundance of life. I ended up exploring this habitat on two separate days, because on the first day I found a species that I had never seen before, an Eastern Meadow Lark. This is a rare species in this region due to the declining grassland habitat in the Northeast. I spent the two days trying to get close enough to the bird to be able to get photos and video of their behavior. While I was trying to photograph these birds, I was able to find and photograph a large number of other species of birds that were also present in the habitat. These species included many different sparrows, warblers, and buntings. I even caught a glimpse of a rare visitor to the area a Blue Grosbeak.

I hope you enjoy this video and the variety of species I was able to locate. Be sure to check out my other videos in my wildlife photography playlist and subscribe if you enjoyed my content!
