In today's video, I talk about a three-day weekend in which almost 10 inches of snow fell, and I was stuck home to view birds from my back window. On the second day I set out to record some video footage and take some photos of whatever may visit.

This particular weekend taught me that I shouldn't always rely on traveling away to other locations for great images, and that you can truly capture them anywhere. Getting to view our avian friends and their behavior as they carry on daily life in the middle of an Ohio winter.

While I would recommend feeding songbirds all year, winter is especially important as their food sources can be quite scarce. As you see a snow storm forces them to rely on birdseed set outside (I use black oil sunflower seeds, thistle seeds and high fat suet.) You can purchase birdseed at a variety of stores in mixed (more than one type of seed) or straights (just one type of seed.)

Have a good time birdwatching!

↠ ABOUT ME ↞
My name is Ryan Lee Taylor and I am a fine art outdoor photographer from Beavercreek, Ohio.

I studied at the New York Institute of Photography, graduating in 2017 with certificates in the Complete Course in Professional Photography and the Intensive Course in Travel Photography. Any other experience I have gained is mostly self-taught.

My work focuses on the genre of nature photography, and specializing in wildlife, wildflowers, trees and landscapes. Often traveling to far off scenic locations away from home or near as can be. I deliver stylish framed or matted fine art prints while also promoting conservation and wildlife ethics.

Call it experiential photography: documenting the living things around us and delivering that moment to you, the viewer, is my purpose. Reflected in my work is a deep ecological concern for the fragile and precious environments on our planet. However, I tend to focus on what beauty is already there rather than the harrowing consequences of humanity's actions that affect tomorrow.
