Sparky Stensaas and Ryan Marshik go on a bird photography video trip to the prairie pothole region of North Dakota. Specifically Kidder and Stutsman County west of Jamestown. We use our floating blinds in some alkaline lakes and cattail marshes to photograph ducks, grebes, shorebirds, gulls and more.
Sparky takes risks his Canon R5 by putting it only inches above the water line in the floating hide/floating blind.
From the blind/hide we witness Western Grebes doing their rushing display/dance, Franklin's Gulls courting, Willet courtship, mating ritual of the American Avocet, Eared Grebes dancing, Northern Shoveler's and Wilson's Phalarope preening and much more.
We also find a Ferruginous Hawk nest.
