His work has been featured in National Geographic and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, but snagging an exclusive interview with wildlife photographer Steve Gordon didn’t require much effort thanks to The Weather Network’s Mia Gordon — who just so happens to be his daughter.

In the video above, he shares his top tips for capturing the perfect bird photo —and lucky for us, they come just in time for spring migration!
