What a great video!!! Loved the beautiful footage of birds, loved the classical guitar in the background, the sunset and your enthusiastic commentary. Thanks for making this video.
Awesome video Hawkin! Great job capturing those birds, and it's amazing that you got a Short-eared Owl on camera as well! Keep up the great work my friend!
Good stuff. I like how you highlighted the respectful distance with the burrowing owls and knowing when it might be good to step back. Really neat, I wish we had them more regularly in GA. Congrats on that short-eared, too. A pretty neat way to get a life bird.
Here in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR, by the waterfront promenade, Snowy Egrets, Chinese Egrets, Great Egrets, Lesser Egrets and a host of other smaller shore birds can be seen occasionally.
Good morning to you, Hawkins, from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. I searched online for that black bird with white wingtip, and GOOGLE indicated the Black Vulture. There are two common species of vultures in Tennessee : the Black Vulture and the Turkey Vulture. The Black Vulture is more gregarious and easily distinguished in flight by its flatter flight profile, more frequent and rapid flapping, and large white patches at the tip of the wings.
It certainly looks like a Short-eared Owl to me, I'm in the UK and I've often seen them mobbing each other as well as other species, we think of them as grumpy birds! They roost on the ground so often the first view is when they appear out of nowhere like that. Another great video mate, I am enjoying your stuff a lot
Looks like a lot of fun! I did notice the hummingbird at 6:44 with the longer bill and wings extending almost to the end of the tail looks good for a black-chinned hummingbird rather than broad-tailed. I'm very jealous of the variety of hummingbirds you have there as opposed to what we get in eastern Canada.
Birding really is for everyone, anywhere! It's great for your physical and mental health and for making great friends both in person and online! Been an absolute blast watching you crushing your birds of Utah challenge!
Another great video! I'll be visiting my hometown of Ogden next month, excited to see some birds that we don't have where I live in the Carolinas. I'll be happy to escape the humidity as well!
Yesterday morning as I walked along the waterfront promenade n the semi-rural area of the New Territories in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR, I spotted for the first time a pair of JUVENILE , both Male and Female, Asian Koel birds. These birds are more often heard than seen. This pair of JUVENILE Asian Koel birds were harassing a pair of Black-collared Starlings in the trees and making all successful attempts to chase them away as these Koel want to take over the nests 🪹 of the Black-collared Starlings and knowing that the Asian Koel birds are members of the Cuckoo’s family, they are brood-parasitic birds ! So I can consider a ‘LIFER’ for me to see for the first time a pair of JUVENILE (birth Male and Female) Asian Koel birds. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good morning to both of you. 😀😀😀So happy to watch both your videos every week. So glad to know that you two enjoy seeing hummingbirds and American Robins. They are very common across the western US, 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I encountered my first two ‘LIFERS’ two weeks ago in my area in the semi-rural areas of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR near the seafront promenade : a Yellow Bittern and a Maroon Oriole. A very rare moment for me. 😃
Birding for hours at antelope island gives me a huge dopamine hit. This year birding got expensive for me because I finally purchased a great binocular. It has made a huge difference and sometimes I can catch a short glimpse of those silly elusive warblers. This was a great video and I hope you are getting all those lifers you need.
