Join Derek as he explores Grand Isle, the only inhabited barrier island in Louisiana, during spring migration in April. The island is currently full of colorful warblers and other migrants, which makes birding any part of the island exciting.

What an awesome assortment of birds you found! I love the sleepy indigo bunting! Thanks for another great video!

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

He was one of my favorites! I have about 5 minutes of video of him being sleepy, haha.

The Warbler Whisperer! Haha, so many great birds. What an awesome outing!

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Haha, thanks, man! It was a fun day.

@everettwery 3 года назад

Awesome video! Loved the common nighthawk shot.

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Thanks! It was a nice surprise. Since then I’ve been seeing more of them during the day. I think it’s since they’re preparing for nesting season.

I just love , your love, for these birds 🐦💗

I shared this with my friends in Louisiana.

Awesome, thanks!

Everything seemed to have made it to Minnesota last week. Yellow Warbler, Black and White Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Rose Breasted Grosbeak, Indigo Bunting, Yellow Rumped Warbler, and the Scarlet Tanager. The Grosbeaks and the Bunting have nested nearby, they are on the feeder multiple times a day. I love spring!

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Nice! May even be some of the same individual birds shown here!

@gailjohnson1205 3 года назад

Your videos are so enjoyable and informative. Thanks for doing them.

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Thanks for watching!

@Happywife226 3 года назад

Those are beautiful birds. Not easy to take video of them as they move so quick. But you’re so good for doing so. Thanks for sharing.

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

That’s so true. Normally I don’t even bring my tripod when shooting warbler videos but was able to get some this day.

@Chris.Bentley.Wildlife 3 года назад

Exactly what I wanted to see! Incredible video!

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Was just about to send you the link in the comments! Glad you found it 👍

@VanessaG1229 3 года назад

Fantastic video! Makes me wish I had more time to bird watch. The warblers will be gone before I know it!

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

So true! They come and go so fast.

@naturewithgabe 3 года назад

good stuff. I am already missing migration, even though it's not completely over.

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Same. Definitely in the post-migration lull at the moment in south LA.

@birdman5223 3 года назад

Crazy good stuff👍🏻👍🏻😱

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Thanks! I was amazed at how many different colorful species were packed into the forests.

@reptiledysfunction5512 3 года назад

Nice! Those Red Knots were super nice!

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Love their breeding colors!

Awesome wildlife totally different for me, loved the hooded warbler, blue winged warbler, veery,blue grosbeak, indigo bunting specially 😍😍😍 Greetings from India 🇮🇳 Stay connected and safe 🤝💐👍

@cindymillford1705 3 года назад

I love your videos! I'm headed to NH next month... Hope to see lots of new birds!!

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Thanks! Have a fun trip! 👍 hope you see some cool stuff!

@Oltoir 3 года назад

Awesome variety down there! It's so neat to have seen almost all of what you just showed locally here, knowing a thousand miles to your north. Always amazes me just how far these birds fly each year

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Yeah! Migration is an insane process.

@stevedillinger653 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. I have always wanted to check out Grand Isle. But I can't ever pull myself away from Sabine Woods. The day you were at Grand Isle we had 24 warbler species at Sabine. I also shoot birding video, so I can wholeheartedly recommend it if you ever return to the Upper Texas coast in the spring.

@BadgerlandBirding 2 года назад

Sabine Woods in Texas? Hope you got the Sulfur-bellies flycatcher when it was there :) I’m a big fan of Peveto too

@stevedillinger653 2 года назад

@@BadgerlandBirding I didn't see it the last time it was reported. But I saw it there about 15 years ago. I like Peveto but have never had a good day there. When it's good there, it's usually even better at Sabine. Someday I'll put some of my hours and hours of Sabine video online. I think you would like it.

@bopyranks Год назад

Nice video as usual. I've not seen some of the birds in this video but the worm eating warbler especially remains my nemesis bird.

@tracyreaume6451 Год назад

Beautiful indeed!

@SkyeRoyal 3 года назад

Love your videos guys.

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Thanks so much!

@WarblerRidge 3 года назад

Wow. Warblers just flitting around on the pathway. That’s so cool. I suddenly find myself wanting to move to Grand Isle :-) Great video. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

@human18181 Год назад

It fascinates me how you can identify all those different species

@3coins. Год назад

I have all kinds of birds in my yard today 0:58

@Xellros 3 года назад

Hmm.. Awesome video. Is Grand Isle any good in early August? Or is it mostly just in spring?

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

It’s good all year, but for different species in different areas of the island. I haven’t gotten out to look for warblers or really any other woodland migrants yet in the fall but should have the opportunity to this year.

@StellarLimpkin Год назад

I miss all the warblers...

@davidlong1786 3 года назад

I noticed a Red Knot in the video was tagged. Is that common for all species there or for just some?

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

Yup! That group had a bunch of tagged birds. The Green flags are birds that were tagged in Grand Isle. They’ve been a focus species for a bunch of studies down here because of their long distance migration and population decline. I’ll be doing more videos about the research soon. Other species that are banded around here are Reddish Egret, Royal Tern, Least Tern, American Oystercatcher, Wilson’s Plover, Snowy Plover, Piping Plover, Black Skimmer, and the occasional Sandering to name a few.

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

So the tagging is mostly for species that scientists have a particular interest in, not all species.

@Oltoir 3 года назад

@@BadgerlandBirding have you tried to get enough pictures to get the banding info so you can report it? That was done locally here with a ring-billed gull and they inadvertently discovered the oldest one yet!

@BadgerlandBirding 3 года назад

@@Oltoir yup! I actually ended up working with the organizations doing the bird banding after reporting one and I’ll be doing a video on the banding process for the Knots and their research 👍
