Last year, we managed to film 143 species and that is a very good start for the first year of the video challenge. This year I am hoping that we can film 200 species or more.
2022 BC Birding Video Challenge
For this challenge, your assignment is to film each of the BC Bird species, from common birds to rare species. Shoot a 10sec - 1min in length video and upload it to YouTube. When you are ready to share, reply to this thread. Use the BBcodes (YouTube) to have your video show up in your posting (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2852)
Some criteria for the challenge:
Video Checklist Google Doc
We will use a Google Spreadsheet checklist to help track which BC birds have been filmed for the challenge. If you have a Google account and would like access to help update the list (add contributed videos), just request access to edit the doc!
On a final note, a friendly reminder that this video challenge is all in good fun. There is no prizes, just pride and recognition that you helped build the set. Let's always be mindful and considerate towards the welfare of the bird when trying to get the shot.

When you are ready to share, reply to this thread. Use the BBcodes (YouTube) to have your video show up in your posting (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2852)
Some criteria for the challenge:
- Bird filmed in 2022.
- Besides filming the bird, try to capture its song or call or location ambience!
- Bonus points to capture both male and female of a species.
- Tight zoom in not necessary, capture the bird in its habitat doing something! (eg. Harrier hunting in a field)
- Try to create a stable video, cut out the blurred or jumpy parts.
- High end camera not necessary. Create videos with your smartphone! (birds at a feeder, duck pond, etc.)
- Finally, tell us a bit about where the bird was filmed. Share a bit of context.
