adorable Rob
You are so patient great vid! I love your work! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
That poor dead weevil with its legs just sticking up in the air 😭
Worse than that, it is not dead, only paralyzed, prepared for a horrible fate.
The cicada at 2:47 minutes. Probably an old, dying cicada, most likely? Or a cicada that's mentally deformed due to a fungus, at birth?
maybe
@@robcurtismusicaljourney2431 , of maybe it's just tired, dehydrated and/or hungry! But yeah, 'maybe,' because nobody knows!
love these little guys. beautiful footage
Thanks. Butterflies are thought of as fragile, but in the insect world, those big wings are very powerful for batting away intruders.
I've been wondering what those birds were called!
They are nest parasites, laying their eggs in other birds nest and letting them raise their young.
@@PowerJazzEnsemble-cw2xi Oh wait, these are one of them? Noooo, I liked their brown faces!

Lol. That poor female at 3:02! Great video - it's hard to catch them in flight. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, I condensed hours spent in 2 days to a few minutes of success.
Thank you for sharing! 🫶
You are welcome.
Those things are stupid, cowardly, and everything they touch turns to s h 1 t. They represent Canada perfectly.
Такой громкий хор цикад бывает каждый год?
17 year cycle of Magicicada here.
@@theearlybirder-videos I see, but these cicadas appear every year, don't they?
@@VsevolodIgorevitch Annual cicadas are different species, Periodicals, are once in a human generation czcams.com/video/kRcbQSDZpPk/video.html .
>Love this
Thanks.
Full tummies!
Actually people came filling bags with cicadas and the geese left unsatiated. In a future video.
Who knew?
ant gave up
Seems like it was stuck and glad to be free. Maybe there is a repellent coating or something.
Wow- I haven't seen a 17 year cicada since 1990 in Elmhurst, IL. We had none here.
Nice
Thanks you.
Вдул, так вдул
Looks like success.
❤
Beautiful! I used to listen to them when I was a kid - very mysterious bird as I never saw one during the day. Thank you 🙂
Thank you!
Only 3 herring gull and lots of ring billed gulls sorry you didn’t know you gulls
I see I did slip up there. I don't really study immatures much. Sorry you have trouble with English or typing.
I never see the plain yellow ones. Looks like she had about 16 ducklings. That is a good score indeed. Ours seem to manage to keep 2 or 3 out of 10 or 12, lots of crows and other larger birds take them.
Snapping Turtles too.
Wow what a wondefully coloured bird.
A favorite!
Cool capture
Thanks you.
Beautiful bird
Very nice indeed!
Beautiful capture Rob. A great looking little bird
thanks!
We have a number of similar birds in England. This one we call the Goldcrest. Very similar bird.
I see that is Regulus regulus. I wonder how they differ.
I yearn for spring to see them again! Beautiful Rob!
Thank you!
