Guys...that was so cool!! So many beauties!! Loved this video! I'm in Texas and I just might have to make a road trip to Carlsbad, NM !! Thanks for sharing your trips with us!!
I visited Rattlesnake Springs in December of 2000 on the advice of a park ranger when I said I was looking for birds. It proved worth my while as I remember getting a lifer Black Phoebe and also an ABA lifer Great Kiskadee (rare in NM).
Very good video, it helped me to know the birds of that state. I´m struck by the similarity of several species with those in South America where I live. I agree with a comment that a Vermilion Flycatcher is juvenile, it´s seen at 5:12, it´'s a see that is also here, surely at the end of the month the first ones will arrive in my region, which are always the males. I like your channel, I will continue watching
Beautiful birds and gorgeous environment! My favourite was the little juvenile Summer Tanager with its mixture of the 2 adult birds' colours. I love that you include footage of your locations as well as the birds. Such a joy. Thankyou!
The Vermilion Flycatcher can also be found, though in small numbers, in Southwestern Utah. Have seen one as far north as Farmington, Utah, which is north of Salt Lake City. Enjoy your videos, gives me places to look forward to go birding.
Great video. Rattlesnake Springs is a really interesting place. We were there in December of 2021 for the Code 5 Blue Mockingbird. Would love to find the time to go back.
When I started yo watch the vídeo, I thoug that the Vermilion was the same that we can see in summer, here, un Argentina (we called Churrinche). Are quite similar, I have to find the differences. The specie that I talking about is the Pyricephalus rubinus. I had the chance to saw the male at 2019, and the female I saw a few months ago. Nice birding!
Derek and Ryan I absolutely love the Vermilion flycatcher but I have a nickname for it I called the Ferrari flycatcher obviously for the red coloring after all when you see a Ferrari driving what color are they usually that's right red I thought I'd share that with you guys because when I go over to Arizona as well as New Mexico I'd love to see these beautiful flycatchers thank you for showing them . 😅
Cool.. ya know I think I have had a pair of tangers here before.. I was pretty excited.. I have a friend who lives close to the rattlesnake canyon.. but she never told me about it.. thanks guys.. now when I visit her.. I’ll be hittin this place up.. quick question.. why haven’t I seen any birds in 3 days.. nothing.. zip.. zilch.. not even a chirp?? They all molting.. thanks in advance..❤️☮️
That's hard to say. Could be a variety of reasons such as someone else feeding them nearby, or just they have enough natural food around so they don't need to come by as often. If everything is the same I would just wait it out and see. If you feeders are clean and full they should be back at some point soon!
Who knew there were Turkeys in New Mexico?! That's fascinating. I always think of turkeys as being creatures of the forest for some reason, haha. I recognize the springs too!! I've got a great pic from a summer (many MANY moons ago haha) when my family visited Carlsbad...none of the signage is in the shot though, so this was really awesome to see an old memory come back to me in that way! SO fantastic that the area seems to be nigh on perfect for the flycatchers, and the Summer Tanager was just spectacular! I've seen one of those during migration, but I gotta admit, they're welcome to come visit here ANY time if they eat wasps...!
Beautiful birds in New Mexico....drove through there a few times but you guys nailed the birding golden egg. Wish we had some of these in Central Illinois. We used to see wild turkeys from time to time at the local state park and surrounding areas but I think the hunters in the area scared them off along with the deer. Thanks guys!
Congrats on the lifer Vermilion 🙂🙂 Here in Nor Cal, we really only see a maybe 1 to 3 Vermilion Flycatcher vagrants each year... But I've traveled a couple hours, a few X's and gotten ringer shots of two of them 🙂 So beautiful ! This is one of those birds I'd have a hard time retiring. BTW, TY for bringing this place to my attention. I've been scouring everyplace in SE Arizona, on eBird.... But kind of neglecting New Mexico. Apparently strong for Painted Bunting 🙂👍
Yes, we ended up going into AZ and then hitting northern New Mexico near Flagstaff at a few places we'll hopefully do videos on too! I can elaborate on specific places we went to though, if you would like!
@@BadgerlandBirding Nice. I'll wait for the Videos. My friend lives between Taos and Santa Fe. It seems the best birding is south near the border hopefully I make the trip. (I'm from the Toronto area)
Those were beautiful birds at Rattlesnake Springs Park.
Thanks!
Love the way you cover each bird species and your exact location.
I would love to see a Painted Bunting! The summer Tanagers are absolutely stunning!!
They sure are! The Painted Buntings are always a treat too!
LOVE birding New Mexico!
What a cool place! Those vermillion flycatchers are to die for.
Absolutely!
That's awesome! You would think that there would be a bunch of rattlesnakes around with that name though.
You would think 🤔 We would have been happy to see them!
Just gorgeous - birds and surroundings. Thanks for a great video, as per usual!
I live in southern NM but I didn't know about Rattlesnake Springs! Very Cool, thanks so much!
You're welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it! We visited the actual Caverns too and would highly recommend the bat show there!
Definitely a thumbs up for the video 👍

Nice video guys 👍🇬🇧Steve
Thanks!
VEFL aren't just the USA and Mexico but extend far into South America too! (and ur female VEFL is actually a juvenile, so cute!!!)
We thought female immature on that one due to lack g any red developing on it but you definitely have more experience with the species
@@BadgerlandBirding Idk I just thought that gape looks suspiciously juvenile.
Beautiful birds and gorgeous environment! My favourite was the little juvenile Summer Tanager with its mixture of the 2 adult birds' colours. I love that you include footage of your locations as well as the birds. Such a joy. Thankyou!
You're welcome! And good pick! That is some really nice plumage.

❤this. Thank you.
I got one of those at Cerritos Regional park in Southern California last year, thought it was a hummingbird at first😎
Which one?
@@BadgerlandBirding vermillion flycatcher 😬
Nice job on the video. Birds are a challenge to video.
Great video. Rattlesnake Springs is a really interesting place. We were there in December of 2021 for the Code 5 Blue Mockingbird. Would love to find the time to go back.
Wow! Blue Mockingbird is awesome! Did you see it??
@@BadgerlandBirding yes, we did! It was spectacular!

Oh wow! They really do look similar! And thank you!
Summer Tanagers ! How cool ! Being from WI , I would've never seen these here in the Badger State. Thanks for the great video !
You're welcome! And they do come to Wisconsin on occasion! czcams.com/video/XAk8O6doV1s/video.html
Looks like a great place to bird! Glad you guys were able spot some lifers. Thanks!
You're welcome!

Congratulations on getting the vermilion flycatcher! They are so pretty! I love summer tanagers, too!
Thanks! They are beautiful!
Thank you guys. You guys are always the best. Your friend Kirk. Disable that US Navy
You're welcome, Kirk! Thank you for your service!

There are turkeys in Old Mexico, too!

New Mexico has some really cool spots!
Thanks for sharing. I am considering a trip to New Mexico in the fall. Did you go any further north?
Yes, we ended up going into AZ and then hitting northern New Mexico near Flagstaff at a few places we'll hopefully do videos on too! I can elaborate on specific places we went to though, if you would like!
