Eh mike i know you might not read this. But sincerely thank you for continuing on with another series because i think i can speak for us all saying we genuinely missed you and your cadence. I thoroughly enjoyed watching dirty jobs with my father and watching you is like a breath of fresh air compared to whats typically trending on youtube especially. I think also at least owe half of my work ethic and drive to you and my father aggressively agreed! much love from canada mike! 🇨🇦
I bet he does read it mikes that kinda guy!
Mike Rowe is a treasure. Love this guy.
I wish he'd do the dirtiest job of all and offer to be president.
Somebody (good) has got to do it.
I agree with you. What I love about Mike is his narration and subtle innuendos in his descriptions of what is happening! In other words he is hilariously funny but you gotta pay attention or you will miss it!!😂
Same goes for me! My father and I still enjoy Dirty jobs! Loved the new season!! Guess us Canadian guys love Mr Mike Rowe!! 😊
Always expected to see Mike as a crane operator... wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but even better.
😂
LOL!
Keep making shows, please. They are relatable for people. Not everyone makes a fortune working, but some people would rather enjoy the job, whatever it is, even if they never get rich. It shows pride in the work.
The chirping egg. I damn near cried.
Thanks Mike.
I did cry!
amazing !!!
Mike for prez
Trump 2023
Used to watch Mike when I was a kid and now I work in a dirty job! Keep showing the world the blue collar jobs that people ignore! Love ya mike
A true inspiration
80% of us work in dirty jobs deemed that by the other 20%. Us dirty job workers like to just work in something we find enjoyment. The boss attitude is what matters to keep great workers. After a few decades of working for others I just work for myself now making a lot more money choosing my work😂
Me too man sometimes on those shitty days I wonder how mike would react lol
Respect to Mike for re-working the familiar format that works and adapting to still produce quality material in 2023
I laughed so hard at the barrier broom. Apparently i've been doing it the same as scientists for the past four years with our rheas when gathering eggs. The male becomes so focused, he'll bite the broom head and start walking circles around you like he's on a leash.
Dr. French had such a great sense of humor through out the complete visit! Everyone was friendly, interesting, and knowledgeable!! Enjoyed this video so very much!!
This is what Television ought to be: informative, fascinating, fun, educational, and imparting a sense of hope that humanity is finally doing something positive about the mess we've made of our one and only home planet.
I don’t know why you have entered my life once again. First through cable, now CZcams. I am so happy!! Mike, if you ever want to experience the day and life as a dog groomer, let me know!! I’m in Alberta.
I think this every so often as a dog groomer as well. I think a honest behind the scenes would be beneficial for people as well
Inspiring to see people so committed to conservation.
If more parents raised their children like these people raise birds society would be much better off.
Not a glamorous or extremely rewarding job at face value, but I applaud all of those COMMITTED to doing so. Thank y'all for taking the time and effort to give back to nature, as we have taken (and benefitted) from doing so for so long. Cheers 👍
Love birds, love awkward experts, love Mike Rowe. 10/10
Now this is what entertainment should be . Thank you.
Well my Tuesday is complete now. Mike you're honestly the best out and i hope you keep doing things for us viewers and i hope you keep doing your mike rowe foundation. You're a real one
Thanks Mike for this show highlighting possibly unthought of worthy causes that people should know about and the people who are doing something about it.
Mike, I’m a life long blue collar worker from Oklahoma, a plumber by trade. My wife is an LPN. We appreciate the support you give us and people like us through your shows and charity work. I’ve enjoyed your stuff since the early days of Dirty Jobs with the plumbers in Oklahoma and noodling with them in Lake Eufala. I also have to say how much I enjoy how you include your camera and sound guys in the show. Keep up the good work!
I also live in Oklahoma and am a nurse! Talk about a ‘dirty job’! 😂 💩
I’m not sure who has it worse - you or your wife! 😝
Can you imagine being at their company Christmas party?😂 I bet these bird people are a load of fun!!
Mike,
The movie "Fly Away Home", was a recreation of the original father and daughter taking geese to North Carolina from Canada. Using a flying machine that was the prototype of the one in this segment!
How wonderful to see the idea in action in 2023.
Thank you, sir.
A fan for years. Judy
I love Mike so much, I wish I had a dad/uncle/brother/etc like him! Such a wonderful human being!
Some of the best entertainment on Ytube. Thank you Mike
Mr. Rowe, you are the best. We need more shows like this.
This series as a whole is one of the most fascinating and humbling pieces of media I’ve ever seen, it’s really quite something .
It brings to mind a line from a movie I recently watched . “ do you ever get the feeling that people are incapable of not caring ?
So happy to see these episodes. My wife calls these the prissy birds because we have them all over our community in orlando, and they cross the street elegantly, taking their time holding up traffic.
You do not have them all over in Orlando. There are only about 250 in the world I would give you 100 to one on $1000.00 that there are none in Orlando.
@@williamlavelle7786 The bird he was using a broom to keep away, yes we have them all across Orlando in the thousands.
@@WhoIsSerafinhose are sandhill cranes which are everywhere not whooping cranes
@@neonwhitea.1548 and I understood that when I watched the video, but thanks.
Very cool, glad you are doing shows again.
Fun Fact about their close cousin the sandhill crane, as a kid in the 80s, while hunting wild pigs, with dogs in Central Florida, I witnessed my dog get killed by 2 of them. The birds jumped up, then used their beaks as a bayonet, hit a charging pit bull mix, 5 times in his chest. He bled out before we could get to the Vet Hospital to save him. I gained valuable info that day about how deadly they can be. The dog, had broke the leash, & charged at the bird's. He deserved it, somewhat. But still, new found respect for these birds was born..
Mike it is good to see you again doing those unusual and sometimes obscure jobs like this. I've followed the Whooping Crane program, on paper and in different publications of course, on and off over the years so this was really interesting. BRW, Your "toga, burka, Crane suit, whatever" becomes you. You should pass this occupation up because being silent and keeping your mouth shut "ain't your forte"!
This episode was one I truly loved. I just can't imagine the inspiration that drives this project I wish you could have divulged the cause of the decline in the population of the whooping crane. Knowing the root cause can help prevent future issues...ever heard of the projects surrounding the Pacific plastic island? The issues with goony birds eating the plastic? Sad to know our technology's cause issues with nature in a catastrophic way. Thank you Mike. For your work. For your ideals.
Just found this shit from Mike. Gonna do everything I can to help keep it going. ❤
Mike, please tell me the experience of wrangling cranes smacked you with a flashback of when you had to manhandle an ostrich 😂 I mean you do have experience taking eggs from birds of multiple species, maybe not with a broom but still!
Also I gotta say, im incredibly impressed at the lengths they go to to ensure the baby cranes don’t recognize them as human beings, that’s such a huge worry when it comes to releasing animals, that they go through putting a costume on and staying completely silent so they don’t recognize human voices, that’s just so wonderful. I was so happy watching that segment ❤ They’re doing incredible work and you can absolutely tell they’re all in it for the passion of saving their species, just with how informal all their names are and everything, that stuff isn’t what matters to them, it’s just saving them and doing it as amazingly wonderfully as possible ❤ OMG watching the clip of the cranes flying behind the ultralight was ACTUALLY incredible!!!!!! Just seeing the whole journey of what these people do and how hard they work for, what most people would say, is very little payoff, but honestly seeing those cranes form a full on flying V behind an ultralight manned by two people in crane costumes was so incredible, i can’t even imagine the pride they feel when they get to that stage and finally release them
LOL, I completely forgot about the ostrich episode until now! That's like a 15+ year buried memory for sure.
This is amazing in so many ways. If it wasn't for mike I would have never been able to witness this. The extraordinary feeling while watching. Thank you.
I love that everyone is smiling and jovial. Dr. Drench seems so cool...what a job to have!
Love ya Mike ❤ONWARD ☝️
Hey Mikey! I liked this episode a lot. Kudos to your crew and you, too. This is when "You're for the birds" is a very good thing. Cheers, Mate.
Wonderful humans! I also wondered how long Mike could keep silent! Lol!
Mike it'd be cool if you made your way out to Guam to see all the Wildlife Conservation work happening out there! It'd be great awareness about invasive species and highlight a significant strategic part of the US that not many people know about :)
What amazing people! These are unsung heroes! Those dedicated to saving beautiful fauna and flora from what humans have done. In Australia koalas use to be found in high numbers. Now due to horrific bush fires in recent years, destruction of habitat due to land clearing and so many killed on the roads, they have become endangered!! I cannot bare to think of Australia without koalas! Yet there are people here, like those at Patuxtant Wildlfe Research, who dedicate their lives to helping these, and many other amazing wildlife, try and overcome the destruction of this planet by human beings. We all need to change and realise that without these animals (and plants) we will have no planet Earth!! Thank you so much Mike! Peace and Love from Australia
Amazing work you're doing there Jane and crew! The cranes and world thank you!
This is Great! Glad youre doing your own thing.
Always a source for great information I never knew I needed! Love this program!
Fascinating story! Thanks for bringing this wonderful story to us.
This was really interesting thanks Mike and crew. I really enjoyed watching it.
Mike Rowe can keep me interested in anything he’s got to show!
Nice one, just like Fly Away Home.
Frasier Crane hilarious. That episode was funny af. Great show Mike loving it.
Thanks Mike, that was very special.
I am fortunate to live near the Sandhills crane nesting flyway... so many it is hard to hear when the take off in mass... a spiritual experience that I recommend you try if you are able... March in Nebraska
Love Mike. This is my favorite part on the week and one of the reasons I watch CZcams at home too.
This was honestly a remarkable video I enjoyed it very much.
Amazing episode! I hope they succeed!
This is awesome! The hangglider scene reminded me of the movie Fly Away Home. ❤
I once had the "opportunity" to clean the water of an Andean Condor. It attacked me on sight. The training was worth it, so was the experience
The story was interesting. I was glad to see there was somewhat of a “nod” to north central Wisconsin regarding the Whooping Crane. Necedah Wildlife Refuge has had a BIG hand in re-establishing the Whooping Crane back into the wild.
Loved this! Amazing people here!!
Mike was that one kid in elementary school who would make rude involuntary noises during class when the teacher would ask everyone to be silent for 5 minutes.
Y'all are awesome 👍😎
Mike and crew this was a fun and bizarre and AWESOME episode. Thanks for taking us along. Hey at least you have a Halloween costume for 2023
Whoop Whoop for the Whooping crane🤷❤💞👍😁
Maybe not as sexy but about 6 years into retirement I decided that my life experience in physics and radiation safety inspections and started a sheep farm to raise and recover a nearly extinct breed of sheep. It’s important work but I think every enterprise must be self sustaining. When we were told to file for government grants we refused and made a profitable business out of it. ‘Save the best, eat the rest’…a motto worthy of a thriving business.
This is "Fly Away Home" with Cranes. I love it.
Don't know when Patuxent started this program but the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, Wi. started working on Whoopers in the 80's or before. A friend of mine, Terry Kohler and his wife, used to fly to Alaska in their plane to pick up eggs. There is youtube film of the program director dressed as a Whooper doing the mating dance trying to induce females to ovulate so they could be bred. I have seen Whoopers at the Last Mountain Lake National Refuge in Saskatchewan when up there duck and goose hunting. The locals tell very few people that the birds are there because they don't want to bother them. I am one of the fortunate few visitors that is told where they are and can use spotting scopes to observe.
The breeding program at Patuxent started in 1967. It was shut down in 2017. Some of the birds were transferred to ICF. The birds that the Kohler's were getting from Alaska were Trumpeter Swans.
Awesome teaching! ❤
LOVE YOUR WORK MIKE THKS FROM NZ
Everything Mike does is great!
Good video. Liked and subscribed
Awesome, all of it!
Thank you for this video. Entertaining and interesting.
Nice, I am from Patuxent River Naval Air Station. Born at the base back in 76’. Thanks for what you do neighbor.
NAS Pax River is about 1.5 hours from Laurel.
Thank you Mike for being somebody and doing what needs to be done !
Thank you one and all God Bless
Great stuff!
Interesting subject & entertaining show!
Jane rocks. "Why do you hate TV?" "...let's talk about Cranes" hehehehe
Beautiful birds - great video. We have regular numbers of Sandhill cranes visiting our 40 acre property in Central Foothills of California - we have some minor wetlands in the winter, and they LOVE hanging out - the barn cats are smart enough to recognize they are NOT to be messed with.
Edit - OKAY, the fact they teach them to fly and migrate is INCREDIBLE>
21:50 Fraiser Crane! Mike, you're brilliant! 🤣
Mike you are so good at whatever you do 🌻 please don't stop
This is awesome!
This is beautiful.
Fascinating!
King of the hill had a whooping crane in one episode. Cool to know that’s a real thing
wow, incredible!!
That Thirst moment was hilarious with the gown😂
Mikes sense of humor is top tier. I fuckin love everything he does!!
I found that most interesting,Thanks Mike.
Thanks so much for this.... Miss "Returning the Favor" and "Dirty Jobs"
Interesting episode. My aunt worked with birds most of her life in a preserve in south Florida. Now the big question is, who is it that decides when a species can go off a list?
Maybe population size determines it? Like once they reach 1000 females or something like that
We ❤ you, Mike!
I love hearing the sandhill cranes in the warmer months! They sound like pterodactyls
I’ve watched you since Dirty Jobs and continue to watch just to see that smile and your humor 😂❤
amazing group of people there!
Mike takes on subjects that at first you think would be humourous. Then you see the people working and you realize that actually, these people are dealing in a serious topic. It takes a master who can combine humor with knowledge. Take a subject of a video that seems trivial and makes it important.
Another thank you from me. Keep, keeping it going. Their mistake, not yours. You are ment to do this.
It's pure magic 💫🎊
Thank you
Mike great stuff on your own because its you lol
It was a sweeping win!
Who knew! Thanks Mike!
Honestly I'll never be able to see a Whooping Crane without thinking of that King of the Hill Episode. Hank sends the boys out "snipe" hunting, and Bobby accidentally knocks a whooping crane unconscious. The episode revolves around them trying to hide the body, thinking they'd killed an endangered animal.
That episode came out over 20 years ago, and these poor birds are still struggling. It's good to see that they haven't gone completely extinct though.
Jane was NOT having it 😂 She dipped as fast as she could. Great work tho!!!!
