That is such a great festival.

Thanks for "taking" us there! Love the "extended families" explanation

Spectacular!!

Great footage and documenting the different types...VERY HELPFUL 👍

I have been watching your videos to help identify some of the birds we see around here. We have a great Horned Owl and lots of other birds that hang out on our property. It's always fun to see the many different birds. Merry Christmas! 😊🏜️

happy holidays❤❤❤

Great photos though! I love the B and W!

little body, big ambition

Very interesting. In Southern California we have Allen's hummingbirds who are very closely related to rufous hummingbirds. Some small differences, like adult male Allen's usually having a mostly green back, and slightly different tail feathers. Some Allen's migrate but we have a subspecies in SoCal who stays all year, S. sasin sedentarius. It's nice to have them and Anna's all year. I think I have seen occasional probably-Rufous hummers stopping by, likely on migration. The rufous and Allen's are both very aggressive to each other!

I love the Rufous too! They're amazing and definitely easy to distinguish from others. We have plenty of them, Douglas County, CO.

Awesome video! As per migration when is the best time to go to see multiple species 🫠gosh that would be so fun!

Loved the video! So happy to find your channel, cheers! 😃

I would like to visit that area. Any recommendations on places to stay or the time of year for the best birding experience?

Hummingbirds are my favorite bird. Unfortunately, I think their population is declining.

Excellent

I bought a Bird Buddy in the last week of May. Since that camera only picks up birds and I get a lot of deer in my yard, I sprung for a more well-rounded bird cam (it's a modified home recurring cashes that identified birds, pets, people, cars, and packages, individually. It's pretty awesome). Well, since I liked those cameras so much, I got a hummingbird camera. THEN, since the cameras only reach so far, and Amazon has a bundle deal for my existing bird feeder (the all- around one) and a trail cam that doesn't need wi-fi to work, I bought THAT. So a little over a month later, I've dropped quite a bit of cash on my bird and critter obsession but I've learned tons in that sorry time and am loving it more each day! I've also picked up patterns and can recognize individual birds of the she species now (e.g. I can tell which cardinals have stopped by, who's paired to which mate, etc.). Sorry for writing so much. I could nerd out about birds ad nauseum😅 Thanks for the videos!❤

We embrace them alright. They are never allowed to successfully nest on our property. Same tactics with starlings. We protect our native bird species around here. You do a disservice to our native birds.

I am beholding them. Despite people not liking them because they're invasive, it's not the bird's fault, and I can't help but loving them.

It sounds like you are going to have lots of fun with it. I hope to see upcoming vids on the quail project. Happy weekend!! 👍

Wow!
