This 10 second video is of a Curve-Billed Thrasher singing what sounds like a mating call. It’s not the usual loud “weee-weet-tweet” that we hear during other times of the year. Could it be that we’re getting an early spring about four weeks ahead of schedule? The forecast for our part of Arizona calls for 80° temperatures by the weekend.
AS you can see from the video, holding the camera steady at 250mm zoom is difficult without a bi- or tripod. I made this video today with my Canon EOS Rebel SL3 and the EF 55-250mm lens. I am still experimenting with and getting used to making videos with the Canon camera.
I use my little GoPro when I want to video something. We’re supposed to get up to 50 ( ! ) on Sunday, and then into the 60’s ( !!! ) on Monday and Tuesday. It’ll be a good day to open the windows to air out the house and garage.
I suspect that we in the west will be getting some spring-like weather, but there are still some dreaded “polar vortex” events going into the eastern states. Global warming, of course.
We enjoy those days when we can air out the house without having to employ our double-lined britches.
I should look into Go-Pro since they are WAY lighter than my SL3 with a heavy wide-angle lens. A lot of the vloggers I watch on You-Tube use them.
