     True to its name, this Guide gives information that a photographer needs but often a birder doesn't.  If you care about things like:
  • When will egrets and herons be in peak breeding plumage?
  • When and where can I find songbirds singing on territory?
  • Will I have to use image stabilization on a shaky boardwalk?
  • Should I expect a major hike with all my equipment?
  • Will I be shooting into the sun?

 Then you'll enjoy this Guide.

     At each venue you'll get a good idea of what sorts of birds are there and easy to photograph.  In an hour and a half this DVD has video footage of over 150 species including all the Florida favorites like spoonbills, egrets, skimmers, scrub jays, gallinules, limpkins and burrowing owls. There are lots of migrant songbirds and lots of shorebirds. We even cover parrots.   Unlike how-to-take-photos books, this DVD was shot by a videographer, so there is plenty of information on where to go for flight shots, both  distant and close-up.

    After watching each chapter you will have an idea of what birds to expect to photograph at that place.  Either watch the program straight through, or choose material using menus.  Included are easy to read screens of printed information telling you hours  of operation, peak season, specialty birds, phone numbers for the visitors' areas and detailed driving directions to each location.
