This is fantastic. Can you add more detail about the lens you used? Macro, or not? Do you have a sample online so we can take a look at the quality of the shots?
Love the pileated woodpecker's red cap. That bird is almost as big as a chicken. Nice to see the two types on the log. Thanks for sharing with us, enjoyed watching it. Be well and stay safe.
He really is a beautiful boy. Actually I like the blue feathers on him. It is nice that he is coming back so we can see more of him. Thank you so much for sharing with us. We really need this to cheer us up from the gloom and doom. Be well and stay safe.
@@JackpotMike77 You took the words right out of my mouth Humphrey. This video really gave us a better look at his blue feathers - both sides. He really is very pretty and am so glad you shared him with us. Love the cam and you really get some beautiful feathered friends at the feeders. Thanks again for sharing with us. Take care, be well and stay safe.
This is interesting. I was told that robins do not eat bird food, however, I have seen them under my bird feeder eating. Also, they stand under the suet feeder and catch the bits that the big birds send down. I guess when you are hungry you will eat anything. Things are so dry right now where I live that there are no worms for them. Thanks very much for sharing with us. Be well and stay safe.
@@Salmiyaguy1 OK, thanks for that information. Hard to tell what is in the tray feeder that he is eating from. He sure looks well fed anyway. Be well and stay safe.
One has to wonder who the mother cardinal mated with. I hope that someone forwards this video to Cornell to see what they have to say. Thanks for sharing this very interesting video. He is beautiful blue feathers or not.
@@BirdsandGhibliFan Thanks for that information, I really appreciate it. I have heard of yellow cardinals, however have never seen anything but reds. I did suggest that someone send the video to Cornell to see what they say. A very pretty bird anyway. Be well and stay safe.
Leonie de Young You’re welcome. I hope you are staying well and safe, too. 🙂 Also, I’m not sure if this is common, but a lot of male cardinals have a tint of purple on their backs where I live.
@@BirdsandGhibliFan That is interesting. Unfortunately the cardinals that come to my feeder mostly come just before dark, so unable to see colouring except red. Your theory on the mutation makes sense in that case. Thanks again and take care of yourself. Thanks also for your good wishes - I am still on my perch fortunately.
What a great video! Some beautiful birds at the start, the Pileated woodpecker hits the log at 2:36 and stays the duration. Such a large majestic bird, really amazing to see!
So very sorry for those of you who follow the Hays Eagles on their Cam. This is so heartbreaking, and those of us who follow the Hanover Eagles on their Cam can understand your sense of loss because last year their only chick died and the other egg never hatched ... and later on their nest partially collapsed as well. But this year they've rebuilt their nest and have 2 eggs, so if you miss seeing your favorite Hays Eagles, you're welcome to join us to watch the Hanover Eagles. So glad that both of the Hays adults are okay, so at least you know that they're still flying around in the area and may even be able to re-nest somewhere during this nesting season.
