Look at the picture at 4:59. Is it possible that the colored band is to mimic the branches they next in? It looks like a similar color to the branch. I could see that might be a bit of camouflage used to trick predators into thinking there's something in the way. I donno. I might be an idiot who's just overthinking things.

Love when you can go out and actually bird with the film crew. Since I am from BC I will never see a Cardinal, they would be interesting. Also feature a migratory songbird that we are losing because of winter habitat loss, hazardous migration routes and maybe the scientist studying the animal which had found out that we are losing them and why we are losing them. A Greater and/or Lesser Prairie Grouse is also an iconic bird that we are losing.
