Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Super helpful approach to identifying trees! Going to go watch all your other videos now. 🌲

Do you think it's possible to maintain peripheral vision while simultaneously focusing on your breath? How would you balance awareness of your surroundings with concentrating on your breathing?

They're going back to their hood.

What an informative, interesting video! Sincere thanks for sharing your knowledge about flickers. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

I’ve heard both flicker calls. I just didn’t know that it was my flicker calling. I only see him in winter on the lawn. Yes I know the pileated wood pecker call. He always sounds annoyed about some thing.

Sitting in the light post 2 together ❤❤

Here in west central Connecticut, my daytime sightings of our local bobcat are easily pinpointed by the raucous mobbing of local crows. As you mention in 5:30, I witnessed a northern flicker also join in with the crows to make the vocal "alarm".

I adore these little guys!guts!! So much personality and sass in such tiny bodies. Their courtship dance is amazing to see as well. ❤❤

I get these eating from my suet . Absolutely love them very beautiful birds.

Great video, thanks for sharing the info !

Great video! I have also heard a call very similar to the "tut" when a snake was in the robin nest

or a wolf

Muskrat vs beaver seems pretty easy given the size difference. The video is helpful, but I wish you'd compared beavers to river otters. They are closer in size and may be easily confused.

Excellent video. Very informative and now I can confirm some of the Robin sounds I've heard. Thanks.

Amazing channel, content like I did not think I'd find! Amazing for my life...

Bro, is feeding the therins

Cool, I usually assume they're alarm calling about me, but now I'll check the trees for owls and hawks, which are definitely around. Do you know what the call is that Robins make which is like a very quickly repeating low pitch (for birds) chirp 5 - 7 times, something like 16th notes at 100 BPM, sometimes slower, and it detunes (pitch bends down) slightly as it goes. It's kind of spooky sounding, and it seems like they do it more at dusk. It's like a budget version of the rhythmic loon call. I can never find anything about it, just the normal daytime song that would come up if you searched robin songs.

Top notch video with tons of helpful info, robins are fascinating :) Thanks!

Two summers ago, every eve after dusk, I would hear a single call that sounded like a cow elk, which also mill about in my area. This single call would repeat very evenly spaced every 7 seconds. Because it was night-time, it took me awhile to even know it was a bird until I finally saw a shadow exit from a fence post. As the summer waned and the nights grew cooler (high desert southern Colorado)I noticed the spacing of the calls lessened. Was this indeed a Northern Flicker and why the night calls?

Im a fox therian so thank you for this Video!❤ It was really helpful to discover that this is also my theriotype!!!!

Far too advanced in birdenimics my guy you need beginners courses if I may say

I get free food at work . So on lunch break 2 crows always show up and get some eats . The big one usually took everything and flew it to his stash and come back . One morning in the direction of his stash , i saw like 20 crows fly up . He must have had a smorgasbord lol

Watching this cuz my witch OC has a crow familiar

You can’t go one night without seeing AT LEAST 2 red foxes and 1 grey fox a night, here in St. Clair county, AL. They’re EVERYWHERE this year. Back in May and the first half of June, they were constantly screaming like a woman, running around the woods, streets, and fields between 10pm and 4am lol I think that usually means it’s a female looking to mate, right?

You sound so stupid

I see them while mushroom hunting in state forest. They like the road for long clear attack path

I've just started feeding crows in my backyard and I hear the calls you speak of and that very simple distinction between the two kinds of calls is very helpful to me at this early stage. I love feeding all the birds and even the squirrels, but I especially enjoy the crows. I'm learning about them daily and it is fun and rewarding, Thank you for your video.

I'm seeing something at my pond in Georgia that looks like a cross between a beaver and a muskrat. It is smaller than the beaver. The one I caught on camera last night had what looked like a baby with it. The tail is much shorter than a muskrat's and it is furry. It looked like it's nose was more of a snout. It was on land a few feet from the water just moving along. I think I saw this animal once before, but it was swimming. It also had a baby with it. I have seen raccoons on my camera, but this animal didn't have any stripes. What do you think it could be?

I was in our yard last night and my Doberman ran behind our Arborvites and flushed out a bird (accidentally) and it flew up to one of our large trees and clung to the side like a woodpecker, only it seemed frightened. I took some photos of it and searched with a lens and it is a Northern Flicker (however, it looks smaller - maybe a juvenile)? I did some searching on Google, which brought me here and I do hear some of these sounds in our yard. We definitely have Red Bellied WP and Downy WP, and the Northern Flicker is a new one for us. The little one didn't move at all while we were out there and stuck to the tree for quite some time. By this morning it was gone. I read it is unusual for Northern Flickers to be seen on trees, so I am. wondering if this little guy went up there because he was just scared. Also, his tail feathers were not long and his back markings blended in with tree bark and only his belly has the spots (he does have a mustache and the orange ring). Should I be concerned that there could be a nest nearby and be watchful of our dogs in the yard? We have Blue Jay fledglings still being fed by their parents, a Robin nest in a tree, and lots of bird activity going on. We were not expecting this little guy in our yard, so any information would be helpful. Sorry for the long post, but thanks in advance for any information. Lynn

I have just realized it that I have a problem for this. 😐😐

I'm utilizing the skills you taught in this video! Your channel is unique and so cool! I have a question: a recent KZfaq video I watched suggested that all wildlife will become still/silent if an apex predator comes near. Any truth to that? If true, what would such an apex predator be ( If this person's assertion is true, I'm wondering if-- in this instance-- a human would be an apex predator)?

Lovely and brilliant!!! Thank you!

Anyone care to tell me which pine trees are most common in BC, Canada? If multiple variations of pine, then in what order are they most common? I'm in Southwest BC

I am befriending my local crows and reading this reminded me I had not put out treats today. I 'call' them by making four caws in a row and then listening. I usually hear one or two caws in the distance, and the crows will answer each other back and forth. After a short amount of time one or two will do a 'fly over' to check out the goods. Usually it is peanuts and often it also includes wet cat food (rejected by my indoor cats) or fruit and other goodies. Then they perch nearby and finally swoop and pick up their choice of food. They are shy and wait for me to go inside, but lately I have noticed they caw loudly very near my house if I have not yet fed them. I've gotten one 'gift'--a small white rock. Guess I'll have to be a bit more consistent to earn their trust and devotion. I do love those birds!

Großartiger Vogel! Sehr schönes Video. 😊

This is a great video! You do a great job teaching and using video/audio, this will do doubt be an awesome resource for a birding noob like myself. Thanks!

Zoro need to watch this fr

I have a very near perfect mimicry of them

The recording contrasting male and female calls was of great help to us for identifying (we believe) the sex of an adult goose with angel wing condition. Thank you!

I looked this video up because I wanted to know what the "clear" call meant. It woke me up this morning, a little to early. I'm pretty familiar with flickers, there are quite a few where I am in the Denver suburbs, but I wasn't familiar with this call. It was accompanied by several blue jays who sounded angry. I thought they were angry at the flicker, but now I suspect there's was something else going on, maybe a hawk or an owl. I'm sitting on the porch as I type this, and all of the squirrels just scattered suddenly. It's been a couple of hours since the birds were making all the noise, but I wonder if whatever they were upset about has returned.

using this to summon wotan

No they qere replying to you

I loved this video. Thank you!

This is a really really good idea 👍

I like this a lot and I'm gonna try it too.

Well winter is not the only time squirrels eat sap. Here in Tn. I have watched the squirrels eat sap all year round as long as sap is leaking out of trees. Hornets sap trees through the hot months & squirrels find the sap spots & go after them. Animals are smarter than most human so maybe we humans need to eat tree sap, lol.

At my school there is a pied crow nest

Great video, thanks so much for teaching us this, your so awesome!
