All these videos on how to bird are wonderful. I have been birding for 20 years, but no one ever told me about some of these techniques. Thank you so much!!
I like birds
Thank you so much for this terrific introductory video on birding. My third graders watched it, and they really got a good sense for how to carefully observe wild birds. Now, when we go birding, I hear them saying, "It's larger than a robin, but smaller than a crow." Awesome!
Fascinating and helpful...I now know how to differentiate these two woodpeckers..thanks
Thanks guys
Thank you so much for the wonderful educational videos. The clarity with which you present is quite commendable. I am a budding birder and would appreciate if the name of the bird/s is mentioned on the screen itself making it easy for us to relate to and learn.
Thanks for the video Cornell LoO, your tip on comparing relative sizes between the Downy and Hairy Woodpecker helped make the correct identification this weekend! Logged my first Downy.
I think this is the third time I've watched this video... I want to have the information become ingrained. I have already "taken my Birding to another level"... Thank you two & Cornell Ornithology Lab & all the other behind the scenes folks that made these videos possible. I have greatly enjoyed all four videos... And posted all four on facebook... Again, THANKS!
Happy Birding
Man. Great video editing technique. Very professional. Chunky? Is that the first impression people make of me. That I’m chunky?
I am already a better birder for having watched this video. Have Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers at the feeders all the time. You just made it easy to tell which. Thanks
Great ID tips
Thank you for the tips
Thanks. I can now tell the hairy's from the downy's on the feeder. Great insights.
I like the birdwatching
This is so informative. I have learned a lot that will help me be a better birder.
So happy they got experts like Mark Hamill to help me in identifying birds. :)

Great video. Is Cornell using these principles for birding AI?
thank for the great and helpful hints
thanks!!!!what a wonderful video
That's awesome friends... Thanks. Question? What Binos were you using? 🤔
this was very helpful. thanks!
Great video !!
Great video quality
Wow this is sooooo helpful! Thank you so much
thank you so much
This is awesome
I love this series, Inside Birding, and the two ornithologists... I have learned more, or rather, I can take what I already know and observe with a few questions... I am soo excited. In the past, I just tried to tell by color & markings- but those darn birds fly & flit so quickly. I have two bird feeders & all these little songbirds come... What are they? I still don't know, but I know I will be able to figure who they all are. A few have a longer tail, most of them are little round fatties...
Now I know how to tell the difference between downy and hairy at my suet feeders!
Thank you.
I just watched this series for the first time and learned SO much. Thank you!!! I do have one tiny request for future instructional videos like this: Would you please flash the name/species of birds on the screen as they are observed and announced? It would be very helpful to us beginners. Other than that, each video was OUTSTANDING! And thank you for my “Project FeederWatch” Bird-Watching Days calendar. Now I just need a better pair of binoculars. ♥
i agree with you about flashing the name of the bird on the screen as they are shown. That thought ran through my head, too.
I saw two new birds near my building. One is a small Jay with a kind of pastel reddish pink on it's head and tail. The middle is a greyish color. The othe bird is the size of a Grackle but it's light grey! And it's long tail has two white bars on the edges, and the wing's have thick white on the edges too. I think the changing climate brought them north.
Helped me alot. All along i have been just watching blindly👍🏻
wow! where did you go to see these birds? cardinals and cedar waxwings are rare!
thank video

The non-hairy woodpecker is hairier than the hairy woodpecker😂🤣😅
So like, what if I know absolutely nothing and have nothing to compare with? I only know chickens
This is the fourth video in the playlist yet it seems obvious that it shouldn't be. How hard is it to make an educational playlist in the correct order?
guy looks like bostick
