You know us for our flight work and intimate close-ups of even the smallest
birds.  Now see it in high definition.  Hi-def gives photographic quality to video,
producing images that even the jaded eye can't stop looking at.  With birds that
means feather-detail down to individual barbs, eyes that glow like jewels, and
colors so intense that you wonder if they are real.  Even when heavily compressed
for web viewing, you can tell you are looking at HD.  
      We started building our HD library in 2008. It has quickly grown to include
 birds from from the Southeast to Alaska.   Please check the alphabetical footage list for stock footage of birds, and what they are doing. High definition is available where marked, but there is always more than is shown.  Contact us with your specific needs. Prices for high-def  are the same as for standard definition.  We shoot with Canon instruments, using the XL-H1 camcorder and usually a 100-400 zoom.

High Definition Stock Footage          
Sample Video.  Florida Birds on a Spring Day. The detail of high definition.
                             Canon XL-H1.
Sample Video.  Among the Prairie bells . Courting Sharp-tailed Grouse and
                          Western Grebes highlight this video shot on the Dakota prairie.
                          This production won "Best of Class" in the 2008 Videomaker
                          Magazine Short Video Contest.
Sample Video.   A Busy Morning at Brigantine.  A foggy dawn gives way to
                            clear skies.  But death patrols the heavens.  Shot hand-held
                            with a palm-sized Canon HV-20.  The quality isn't that of a
                            bigger camcorder, but this one is fun to watch.                       
Sample Video.  Return of the White Birds .  Eastern North Carolina rarely gets
                             snow.  It's winter white comes from thousands of geese and 
                             swans.
