Your video beautifully presents the details of small things growing in nature. I really enjoyed it and have subscribed to your channel. One more thing, it would be beneficial to work on the video hooks and thumbnails. These help increase the click-through rate (CTR) and average view duration, attracting new audiences to your channel. Let me know if you need any help with this.

If you want to see more Black-crowned Night Herons make a trip to Chicago. There is a huge wild colony that has nested at the Lincoln Park Zoo above the wolf compound for years now. Around 700 birds, Endangered bird in Illinois but they spread out all over Chicago every night. In the spring you can watch them flying back and forth with branches they have broken off nearby trees.

I have been following these principles since I started to photograph nature 20 years ago but I just became aware of this alliance. I was looking for videos where members were promoting it but I could hardly find a recent one. I was delighted to see yours. I think we should promote it more often. I'm going to create one myself soon because it's a really important message we have to share.

Please do make your own video and share it, the idea for making this one started when they recently laid off a lot of staff due to funding. I had asked the founders what I could do to promote them more.

@ryanltaylorphoto Жыл бұрын
Good question! Ring Billed live up to their name and typically have a black ring near the tip of their bill, whereas the Herring are slightly larger and lack that feature. There's of course more details to differentiate the two but that's a start.

There is a ledge to the left or might be where u are recording from not sure ..but its 35 ft to the water and on the other side there use to be a couple of dirt trails ppl would ride their bikes off that side tether it to themselves and other ppl would help get the bikez back. Got nice crawl dads from up the creek .river. stream . ????. Steam and boil some . Man good timez in 1986 and 87. Just accidentially ran into this.. do they still put christmas lights under it ??
