- We went to the marsh to do a demonstration of visual bird language and observe the body language of ducks. Then while I was filming a raccoon walked by and created a perfect parabolic alarm featuring ducks and red winged blackbirds!
Video topics include philosophy and historical context of bird language, tips for learning and honing observation skills, body language, identification of parabolic alarms by sight and sound.
I’m so excited that raccoon walked by and gave us a great opportunity to study parabolic alarms! Thanks raccoon!

Amazing channel, content like I did not think I'd find! Amazing for my life...
Really enjoying your videos!! Those sounds are all around us all the time but the more you know about it the more you can enjoy listening to it!
Thank you! Yeah it's amazing how much is going on when we stop and tune in :)
Another great video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for video. Will you say when (minute) the racoon appeared? I don't have time to watch a 26-minute video but can listen to it.
The raccoon first appears at 16:05 but the alarm starts at 15:03 I hope that helps!
You know, if our raccoons are just doing their thing and digging about looking for food, our birds could care less and will even go to a feeder with the raccoon nearby. Getting near a nest is a different story, but even with food on the ground for the doves the other birds will eat on the ground just a few feet from the raccoons. It’s an interesting thing to watch play out.
Yes, absolutely. Bird language is context specific so different habitats and situations will result in different appearances and intensities of alarms. If you were to follow those raccoons through a 24 hour period, you would likely find other locations or times of day when they are causing alarms. Thanks for sharing!
