1 Birding Information for Photographers DPI- SIG 5/9/2013 Title: Finding the Birds by Arthur Sissman & Ron Perkins 20 minutes I. Factors to Consider Tides (Charts) Water - Fresh, Salt, Brackish Habitat Time of Day Migration Breeding Season Tide High Tide -- Wading Birds Low Tide -- Shore Birds Time of Day Night -- Owls Early Morning Mid Morning On -- Insect Eaters - (Note: insects are not active early in the morning) Late Afternoon Evening Water Fresh Water (ducks?) Brackish Water Salt Water (gulls?) Season Migratory (buntings, sandhill cranes,.) Residents (reddish herons, roseate spoonbills,..) Breeding (white-eyed vireos, red-eyed vireos, northern parula ) Helpful Aides Tide Charts?????? (Example: Cape Coral Bridge for Ding Darling; Pt Ybel for Sanibel Lighthouse; Bunche Beach, Ft Myers: Punta Rassa, San Carlos Bay; Tigertail Beach, Marco Isl: Marco Island, Caxambas Pass e-bird.org BirdsEye Smartphone App Especially Photogenic Birds Wading Birds American White Pelican American Oystercatchers Roseate Spoonbill Indigo Bunting Warblers Painted Bunting
2 Finding the Birds? Who, What, Where, When & Why Factors to Consider! Who are the birds do you want to photograph? Backyard birds? Shore birds? Wading birds? Raptors/Owls? In other words what are your target birds? A target bird is any bird species a birder takes deliberate steps to see or attract. In effect, target birds are targeted to become photos! What are the requirements of the habitat that the target bird lives in? Is it tidal? Is it salt water? Is it fresh water? Is it open terrain? Is it wooded or swampy? What is the light like? Where do your target birds live? What habitat? The backyard? The shore? The marsh? The woodlands? The mountains? When is the best time of day to photograph my target bird? Early morning? Mid-morining? Late afternoon-dusk? Why do I have to be interested in all the above and more for instance: Does my target(s) bird migrate? When does the target(s) arrive in FL? When will the target(s) leave? How does my target(s) change from arrival to leaving that might interest my photography? How do local birds who breed in FL change during breeding and how does this affect my photography and where I find the birds? Helpful Aides Tides: Lowest tide = more mudflats; negative tide is better, allows for more shorebirds to feed!!!! More birds feeding > more species > more opportunity for target birds > more photographs/birds to ID!! Tides of interest: Sanibel Lighthouse: Point Ybel, San Carlos Bay Entrance Ding Darling NWR, Sanibel: use Cape Coral Bridge, Caloosahatchee River Bunche Beach, Ft Myers: Punta Rassa, San Carlos Bay Little Estero Lagoon, Ft Myers Beach: Matanzas Pass (Fixed Bridge) Estero Island Tigertail Beach, Marco Isl: Marco Island, Caxambas Pass Other tidal places I need to know about??????????????????
