Birdchick After Dark: Woodcocks

So what do you do at Biggest Week in Birding when  you are hanging out with your friends and you've overdosed on warblers? Why make a video about woodcocks, of course!  Special thanks to Non Birding Bill for filming this and to Lili Taylor and Rue Mapp of Outdoor Afro for being incredibly great sports. Also...the woodcock footage was digiscoped at night with a Swarovski scope.

Sharon Stiteler and Lili Taylor take Rue Mapp on an Woodcocking adventure. Woodcock footage filmed with Swarovski scope and iPhone 4s at Maumee Bay in Ohio. Special thanks to Studio Meddling for helping us out.


What To Expect When You're Married To A Birder

Having been married to a non birder for a long time, we've had to negotiate certain things. You will find yourself having strange arguments and in hindsight, funny misunderstandings. Here's a video example that Non Birding Bill and I made that anyone considering marring a birder who is a non birder may want to check out. Β This will give you an idea of to expect throughout that relationship (also you get to actually see NBB in this video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ-NDqxVmZI

And yes...Swarovski scopes (and binoculars) are THAT waterproof. Β After they are particularly dirty, I do shower with them.
