- To help celebrate the imminent arrival of spring migrants, Jessie Barry and Chris Wood from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology share their warbler-watching tips. Join Chris and Jessie as they explore a wood-lot in Rochester, New York. Click here to see the map and a full list of everything they saw: ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist...
I am a Boy Scout and amateur birder and I identify birds solely by their songs (I'm blind). I see a whole lot of warblers and vireos and such when I go camping. I even once saw a Yellow-throated Warbler near the Delaware River last May and a Blue-winged Warbler at West Point last April! Beautiful little birds, and amazing songs too! I like the Ovenbird at the end of the video. One of my favorites.
Daniel Parker how impressive! I’m sighted and I have a terrible time distinguishing the various Warbler calls. I’ve been Birding for a few years ago and I can only ID the most common 20-30 birds from their calls. I’m glad being blind hasn’t kept you from enjoying the great outdoors and having adventures!
That's amazing - I struggle to identify birds by their call, hope to improve
It's a great video.
Adding name of each bird on screen when it appears for sufficiently long time would have made it even better.
I’d welcome a morning like that any day. Lots of good birds.
I'm a bird photographer, and I find this video great!
Excellent video on warblers and very helpful! Thank you for your wonderful video.
So good to the so many Warblers singing in the wild! Here in Brazil we have just a few of them... Thanks for this excellent video!
Wow, this was fantastic! Thanks you guys. Actually brought tears to my eyes to see all this amazing diversity in one spot. Learned a lot and excited to get out today to explore using your tips.
Nice and beautiful birds ended!! I hope see it in some days, I am from old world.
I learned so much from you about warblers! Thank you for the video - what a great way to start my day!
I just came back from a six day canoe-camping trip. We saw many bald eagles, hawks, heron, white egrets, wood ducks, and cardinals and also other wildlife such as alligators, gar, bass, turtles, snakes, etc., but one of the greatest highlights was an energetic yellow bird. He landed about a foot from me on a branch hanging over our canoe, stared me in the eyes with his head cocked to the side--a very inquisitive look--and flew off to another branch. I had never seen a bird like that, and I'm pretty sure now that it was a warbler, though I will have to look back at my photos to correctly identify him.
Could you possibly upload a photo to imgur and then send me the link? Yellow bird in a wetland says yellow warbler but there are a lot of other "yellow warblers."
I agree that it's better to avoid pishing - just keeping quiet and unobtrusive has always worked for me to see tons of birds.
YES! We need to learn to be unobtrusive in our habits. We are not entitled to see these birds. We shouldn't manipulate tired and hungry migrating animals for the sake of our sense of entitlement.
Please make more videos like this and the Inside Birding series. They have really helped me with my birding, and they're really fun to watch. Especially this video, because warblers are my favourite birds to watch, as fast and small as they may be. Again, thank you!
Congratulations!What you are doing for the birds is amazing.
Very nice. What beautiful little birds!
WARBLERS ROCK!!!!!!!
I live in Missouri and these birds look like the ones that eat off my sunflowers. I love them so much. I put sunflower tops on my windowsill and enjoyed waking up to the birds until my sunflowers died out and they moved on! I hope to see them next year!
I feed all kinds of birds in my backyard and I LOVE them all 💕🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦💖🐦🐦🐦💞💞🐦🐦🐦🐦💖💖 Watching them brings my heart peace, excitement and joy 💕💗🌞🐥😍
Just this morning i saw two band tailed pigeons eating seeds and peanuts out of a mounted to the tree open bird feeders 💕🐦🐦💞 what a treat first thing in the morning 💖💗
Jessie, so great to see you , wonderful video. thanks.
Wow, this is really well done!
Great video, so marvellous that you're doing things like this!
Excellent videography and editing! Matched perfectly to the narration.
I love this video and wish you would do more of them! But please, pishing and owl calls are not necessary and shouldn't be promoted as common practice. I have seen tired and hungry birds, after a long night of migration, get scared away by birders pishing unnecessarily. With patience, many of the birds will come into view without the disturbance in their natural behavior. But I love the fact that you're raising awareness about these beautiful creatures!
Pishing brings birds closer for a short look, giving you do it reasonably like they did. Playback is obviously more damaging and so should be done to a much more minimal amount. I assure you, the imitation of the alarm call won't do any more damage than if an actual wren, titmouse, or chickadee...
@@kojobaidoo4667 There is no reason to ever need to pish. Be patient. They will come into view and even stay longer than the short look pishing might give you. I have great success just being part of the environment and letting them do what they would naturally do. They usually spend much more time foraging closely and all my photos are totally natural!
Thank you for saying that! YES! Do not pish at birds, people!
Pishing is fine imo, as long as you don't overuse it, or use it on a sensitive species. It's at playback where I draw the line.
wow amazing!!!! I love it...thank you
Wow thanks for the info....so gorgeous!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Thank you for the tips.
great video,so marvellous that youre doing things like This!
May is the best birding time where we live. We get lots of warblers but it's so hard to identify them in the treetops- often only silhouette is visible. But we love to try! Your website is awesome ❤️
This is wonderful! We get some of these warblers in Jamaica (even in our garden in the city of Kingston!) for the winter months. Now being March, they are all getting ready to leave us, and we look forward to welcoming them back in September.
I enjoyed this very much. There were some warblers I thought I knew, but wasn't sure and wish they had all been identified. Barry and Chris are good teachers.
have you heard of a bird named ligma?
Very nice video! Very helpful!
Great video! Thank you!
Woah! Wasn't even looking for it, just typed in "birding." I was literally here today.
very nice! great tips and superb video quality.
I love these videos.
Well done! Very helpful.
Reminded me of our visits to Cuba where I would see and photograph many of these beautiful songsters in March.
Chris and Jessie, just yesterday we were playing the "migration game" with the 4th - 6th graders of a cloud forest village in Guatemala's central highlands. It never ceases to amazing me that these tiny warblers, now resident in the back yards of these Q'eqchi' Maya speaking children will soon be heading to places like Rochester, NY.
thank you, i love it.
So beautiful 🐦
Can't agree more about protecting these isolated woodlots. Even if they are managed for timber they are still more valuable as habitat than a home lot or even a park. Habitat edges, canopy layers and snags all contribute. I always enjoy seeing that moment when a bird I pished out realizes I'm a big slow mammal wasting their precious time.
I never realized that some many species of warblers would be in one woodlot. Just a great introduction to warblers.
Great help to all of us beginners or just generally interested in birds. Humm, who wouldn't be!
Great video. Thanks.
This video would be so great if it was edited ,sub-titling each bird as it appears ,such great footage ,but-no reference to each bird.I will re-watch soon with Peterson
+TheJacksnipe Thank you so much!!
Nicely done!
I love to repeat bird calls, and am quite good at it now!
such a quality vedio and beualiful birds .... love it
Love this video
awesome find
excellent video!
your videos are such an interesting journey
Lovely stuff
Great job guys!...lots of great advice, warbler tips, and awesome video on how to bird warblers. Also your Merlin Bird ID app is quick, easy, and fun to use. Cheers.
I've got the same Nikon EDG's, they're awesome!
I believe the awareness and love of birds aroused by actually seeing them, and the lifestyle and political decisions those feelings can foster outweigh the slight intrusion into the birds' lives of phishing. But why doesn't the video have captions of all the birds? They showed more than they named.
wonderful videos and sounds. good advice especially for a novice.
Superbe Vidéo J'ai aimé Bravo
Dany
Awesome vid. For the beginner to intermediate, I thought it would have been helpful to have a caption for each new species filmed when it is in the frame, and perhaps a running total of species. Or a summary at the end with species listed next to their photo (like credits). Thanks for capturing many of the species singing on film -- I always encourage newer birders to try and see this.
I second the "captioning each bird that's in frame" idea. Would be advantageous.
A great introduction to warbler watching. You failed to mention the after effects though....such as warbler neck. Great job!!!!
I love warblers :)
i really love these plase do more
Too much pishing. There is already a lot of stress. Be patient and still and you will be rewarded as the birds see you as no threat but a part of their environment then they will reveal themselves. Great video though Chris and Jessie and thanks for sharing.
I used that Audubon squeeker bird call, and I think it got a lot of Warbling Vireos curious. One first appeared then ducked, a 30m walk along then a whole mess of them flitting around in the understory. Deciduous riparian area with a lot of heavily berried brush (Northern Spicebush?)
Awesome video, I do a lot of bird videos down here in Virginia
it's a great job, serious and a lot of pleasure and Interest
thank you :)
Always been envious of the array of warblers in the Eastern US, I worked for a brief stint at a bird observatory in the UK and got to experience our own warbler migration everyday, although interestingly in Europe, pishing tends to be nowhere near as successful with most species. Whilst our European warbler species definitely lack the colours of the American warblers, they definitely have great voices. Would always be a good day when a large fall of Willow Warblers, Garden Warblers, Chiffchaffs would pass through, very rarely a Wood Warbler would drop by and would excite our bird-ringing team. Of course they'd be joined by other species such as Pied Flycatcher, Spotted Flycatcher and Common Redstart amongst others. Can only imagine the mega-falls and variety that an equivalent observatory would get in the states. Just haven't been able to head over to a spring migration hotspot just yet, usually find myself in the states in the August when many of them have lost their breeding plumage and have quietened down. Perhaps one day.
Trabajo para el Parque Nacional Natural el Tuparro, ubicado en el departamento de Vichada y soy un apasionado de las aves. Para mí es grandioso poder visualizar este tipo de enriquecedores videos ya que me permite profundizar en mi aprendizaje sobre estas magníficas especies.
fantastic!!! if only we had so many species on the left coast......
Great video! I love the advocacy for small woodland patches to support migrating birds. But I share the concern about too much pishing. Doesn't that stress the animals?
whoa warblers get you turnt
Many years ago I shot a warbler, although it was a tragic and despicable act, it motivated me to help other animals ever since. I was young and wanted to show off to a friend, and for no good reason horrified the bird's mate who actually mourned her body. I don't understand how people can enjoy hunting.
First, wonderful video. I live in the SF bay area of California, and we don't see a whole lot of warblers like you guys on the east coast do, Yellow-rumped of course (do you call them butter-butts?), Yellow, Wilson's, Orange-crowned and that's about it. So in the next video on warblers, it would be very helpful to me if you label every bird that is in the video so I can say "Oh! That's a so and so warbler.". I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for a great video.
Oh yeah (I knew I would miss one), Common Yellow-throats also.
Great job videographer. I just wish you got credit and someone would answer my question about what equipment was used. What's that get a life comment about? This whole video is a gift for all of us who enjoy birds. It is not a social commentary. Thank you Jessie, Chris, and the wonderful videographer.
Yellow rumps winter throughout the southeastern US and up into coastal New England as well as the pacific coast, CA, and the southwest and down into central america.
Not sure anyone is 'crying' about pishing, but I agree with the earlier commenter that it should be used sparingly. Very nice video -- thank you!
nothing better than a new discovery
piękny ptak,i ciekawe miejsce,ja ograniczam się do DELTY ŚWINY,nie mam też profesjonalnej kamery,ptaki głównie fotografuje a jak mam trochę czasu to kręcę krótkie filmy
From California: Maybe Chris & Jessie need to explain that with hiding birds, especially sparrows, a little phishing is OK but when birds like these warblers are singing and moving around which makes them easily picked up by our eye, no phishing is needed. At least they're not playing tapes.
informative...
We have two beloved birds: one we call the Tin Whistler (veery) and one we call Beak (woodcock)
i have the same feelings for clouds
I do believe the phishing was for demonstration purposes.
It's written in educational bio books about wrabler +2 pg 235 NCERT about MacArthurs work on wrabler
It's great video for Indian students to understand that point from your video
How these birds avoid competition
Thanks
cute video
Great video again! What's your binocular magnification? I recognize the Nikon EDG, is it a 7x, 8x, or a 10x?
my dream job......
How did you record the videos? They seemed to come right from the binoculars. Was a videographer following you around, and with what camera? Great stuff. Thank you.
I wish to have a bird binocular
I had just stumbled on this video, and was very excited to watch. Everything was great up until the pishing. It was actually so upsetting to me that I couldn't finish the video. I don't do it, but can understand once and a while trying it once. But, the amount of pishing in the same area i such a short amount of time is extremely upsetting. I wouldn't expect this from Cornell, and am actually very unhappily surprised.
Please update with cautions about Pshishing
my problems with warblers is that i never could tell the the difference between an average winter plummage warbler and a palm warbler because they both look the same to me, also i only hear small chirps when i see warblers, i haven't ever heard their beautiful songs, then again i live in south florida so that could be a reason.
Is there a list of birds in the video by time they appear? I'm trying to learn to ID warblers, but what I come up with isn't always listed in the checklist of what was seen. For instance, the bird at 1:31 looks like a Prairie Warbler, and the closest I can get for the bird at 1:39 is a Black-throated Green Warbler. Neither is on the list. I haven't gotten any further yet.
This would be super useful but I can't find any warblers in CT. I have been to several great parks but the only one I've seen is the BAWW
I just saw yellow warblers(?) along the Housatonic near Kent and Cornwall, and some birders I passed saw magnolia warblers!
I saw some yellow-rumped warblers at the end of April and black-breasted blue as well as yellow warblers this past week in North Haven.
Wher is this place? it's amazing area. .tell me please
Which Binos are you using friends??
Can you please tell which binoculars are you using ??
UR SO DAMN GOOD
A great intro to warbler watching! I agree that captions would be helpful. I also agree wholeheartedly with "RememberTheTime99". The amount of harm done to a bird by momentarily interupting its activity is insignificant, assuming that there aren't 500 people doing it all at once. The benefit of "wowing" people with the beauty of these little birds is well worth it. They need as many admirers as they can get! It wouldn't hurt to add a disclaimer, though.
