Woodpeckers
zhlédnutí 115KPřed 14 lety
Woodpeckers are surely one of the most distinctive families of birds, hitching their way up trees, chiseling out their food with specially designed bills and reinforced skulls. Woodpeckers tend to be attractively clad in bold patterns of black, white, and red.
Wood Duck

The colorful harlequin plumage of the Wood Duck makes it so striking as to seem unreal. Add to that its odd squealing calls and tree-nesting habits, and you have a most unusual duck.
Wild Turkey

I think I saw a goshhawk in utah
These guys are super territorial! They make me laugh when I see them chasing big birds or swooping down has we walk our dog. Better watch out or they'll peck your head or back!
Ucigașul de cactus? ..după un an izbucnește în flori și fructe.. Deci cactusul nu moare.
Just got one in my tree and feeder and am stunned by how beautiful it is. South Eastern CT.
Hello, I have two hawks but I really can't identify them, i found them on street, injured, they are babies though, can you help me?
Me and my kids favorite road time killer is pointing out raptors and scavengers here in the hill country. We saw a beautiful caracara eating a dead raccoon on the road and the beak was so unique
My son and I heard a faint chirping. So he ran it through Merlin which recommended Bay-breasted Warbler. Finally we spotted it. It was indeed a Bay-breasted Warbler.
I seen (and photographed) one in Saskatchewan not mentioned in this video. A Fieldfare.
What beautiful bird you have, I feel you are interested in these birds
This video is very useful in Identification of Sore Birds. It's very tricky to identify them but it's interesting to distinguish...
we want to see her running not only fking pics 👎
it's useful!
How many predatory bird in nature? Eagle, Hawk, Falcon, Accipiter, Kite, Buzzard, Harrier, Osprey, Kestrel... : " Yes! "
Nice
I've been listening to and recording mockingbirds for years. I personally do not believe they are only hearing other birds and mimicking. I believe they are also improvising.
Thank you
Thank You!!!This is Great!!!Just Subscribed Too!!!I'm trying to identify this hawk or falcon or osprey
I love mockingbirds!
Thanks. Birding is so much fun.
Great as usual
😮 amazing with your knowledge of sparrows
no song?
It is nice to see all of these nice posts about Northern Mockingbirds but my story is different. I was doing yardwork and the Northern Mockingbird who is nested in my tree is harassing me to the point that when I was washing my car it literally flew down and bit me on the keister. They are fearless and very territorial. It did not draw blood but for a minute I thought I was in a Hitchcock movie without the the benefit of seeing the beautiful Tippi Hedren.
The extinct woodpecker is much alive in the Caribbean. Thanks this was very informative.😎👍✋🙏🇹🇹🇹🇹🙏✋
Thank you
I grew up in Southeast Alaska where a variety of thrushes lived, including the North American Robin and the Swainson's Thrush. My most favorite songbird was the Swainson's. I would sit captivated for hours, especially in the evening hours as the sun set. The swainson's would start its song with a single note, followed by the ascending warble. I remember times as a young boy mesmerized by the song of the Swainson's Thrush. There were times when I was surrounded by anywhere from 3 to as many as 10 thrushes, all singing their best love song call as the sun went down and the day ended. Those were some of my most memorable times of my youth. Sadly, most songbird voices are absent to me now. My hearing is damaged and is greatly diminished, replaced with an acute loss of high pitch sounds and acute tinnitus (ringing in the ears...). I am often envious and frustrated when my wife excitedly exclaims happily about being surrounded by the birds singing in the trees around our house. I was able to hear most of the bird songs in this video because I was wearing a good pair of on-ear headphones and the volume on my computer cranked high. The recording of the Swainson's Thrush in this video, is one of the best recordings of this beloved bird I have ever heard. Hearing that lovely and melodic voice brought emotions to the surface and tears to my eyes as I heard that lovely little voice that has been absent from my life for over 40 years. Thank you for this beautiful and well made, informative video.
😊
This is a great video thanks

Have a mockingbird living in tree next to my home, good in the start, but wears on the soul after awhile.
Beautiful
I sit at work looking out the window, and I've noticed this semi white tailed bird. I've been in awe of it and have been trying to figure out a way to find out what kind of bird it is. I took a video and then used google Lens, and now I know what it is. It is a pretty bird
1 am in the morning and I am a software engineer. God knows why I'm watching
Well you came close to what I saw today but no cigar! Driving along a bumpy gravel country road a larger bird than a raven flew up out of a watery ditch as I approached. It looked almost solid black/brown with a shorter fanned tail more copper than reddish under the tail. It was massive. It turned its head ever so slightly to peer back at me. I’ve seen everything from smaller raptors (hawks) to Eagles. This bird entirely caught me off guard. I’m going to keep searching. I thought I saw them all!! Nope. I’ll never forget it.
Witnessed 5/30/2023 Southern New York state eastern with one youngster
Saw one today
Very informative and interesting video, thank you for sharing!
Thank you. This is just the info I needed to identify a pair nesting near by. I see them every day. It's a majestic moment
I have one outside my house. Is endlessly singing when I go to bed and is still making a racket until sunrise. Grrrr.....
The Winter and breeding plumage Ruff is like night and day. Fascinating bird
I had a hawk soaring over my backyard with black and white banding on the tail and one of the bands was a orangish-yellow. And now it's driving me crazy trying to figure out what raptor I saw. It had multiple black/brown and white bands on the tail, but one band was colored yellow.
Good video.
I could hear a Bicknell's Thrush while hiking up Bridal Veil Falls. I lived right down the street from the trail head. Bicknell's is uncommon and sometimes can be heard on Cannon Mountains shoulder.
We saw a Northern Mockingbird here in Irvine doing the mating dance while singing. Beautiful!
Not as beautiful when they're singing at 2am right next to your window 😅
These are a pest
This comment section feels like I’m looking back in time
These guys have accents/ dialects. I know this because I've lived in AZ, OK, MS and TN... They have completely different songs...though the TN and MS mocking birds had similar songs.
Cool 😎 thanks for the viewing time today

Here in Louisiana these were common years ago haven't seen or heard one in several years I blame that on loss of habitat what once we're open fields are now patches of woods that went into tree farms years ago along with some old pasture areas
