It’s hard work to be a bird ! 🐣 > I will NEVER forget the time I was in upstate NEW YORK - the Canadian goose do their last feeding & resting before taking off for a long migration .. > What’s even more amazing is that I witnessed the LEAD bird - make the calling announcement - which took place for several minutes… and all the other geese became alert & almost agitated - they mimicked the call of the lead bird - and then there was a great gathering from all parts of the countryside where they were resting & feeding - and then they began the running take off - It was a breath taking sight ! They rose up & flew in great circle formations - continuing to call for any late comers still on the ground / The circles grew more populated & wider -the calls continued - It sounded joyful & exciting ! Like - come on - let’s go - we are going !!! And just like that - they were gone …… > I couldn’t believe how awesome it was to witness this event …🤩

Fascinating facts and I think my favourite that I hadn't known about was the sleeping with one eye closed to give half their brain rest. We're getting more and more of the migrant birds moving back south through the Ottawa area now. For me, despite seeing all of the geese, gulls, and larger migratory birds, I'm most impressed by those small warblers that are making their way south all the back to Central and South America. For their size, that's a most impressive journey. Thanks for sharing and happy birding!

Can you please do a video on the "Killdeer" bird? They are all over the place in Ky USA and I am not sure if you have them up north but they are entertaining to watch, I personally call them "parking lot seagulls" as they are always screeching like one when they are flying and they are always walking around any paved surfaces, and the way they behave and walk it is like they just float along and their little legs go 100 mph with no bounce whatsoever, check them out if you have never seen one, they are pretty cool and amusing to observe.. Thanks! Always enjoy your bird videos! Keep them coming!

Lesley, How timely this video. I’m currently in Panama in a tall apartment building on the Pacific coast. Just before dusk I looked out of the window to the sight of hundreds of barn swallows heading south, which is east on this coast. They were flying as they always seem to, and it was clear they were catching insects on the wing as they flew. I have witnessed a similar event on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica in April but then, my old friends were flying north. Again they were clearly catching their meals on the wing, like a drive-thru for birds.

Haha! I don't think I've ever noticed a little songbird scratching its neck like the one at 7:44. Must be part of the recovery exercise required after a long migration!

Thank you so much for this very interesting information. I hope you will do the same about birds that don’t migrate and spend the winter with us.

Yep they are amazing I notice how their behavior changes before and after migration in particular when our cat bird visitors return every spring they aren't able to eat as much as they can a few weeks later they are so cute its always sad to see them go in the fall but in a months time our fluffy feathered cute little winter visitors typically show up. We plant native plants and put out feeders I love birds. :) Also did you capture that footage of a Shrike? I have never seen one but they are fascinating birds cunning hunters too what with their offensive mimicry of other bird calls so hopefully our fluffy feathered friends stay vigilant.

I have three hummers at my feeder. They come to eat around every 10 minutes. They fight a lot. The most amazing creatures. They are so delicate, but fierce at the same time. They remind me of a Chihuahua that think's it is a German Shepard. I am going to miss them.

How nice to have them visiting, and I like your analogy of them. They are fierce little birds for sure. Thanks for the watching and for the nice comment. Have a wonderful week ahead
