Brett Farvre as a great gray hasn't aged well unfortunately!! But what you know what stays great? Your videos. Enjoying the deep dive into the older stuff.

I saw an American three-toed woodpecker today in banff NP, Alberta, Canada. It was feeding next to a paved but forested path. It was obviously used to people.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Awesome sighting!

[@molmer2380]

Awesome video of the trip, great views of the birds. Thanks

[@henrydavid8994]

I can't imagine how amazing life must be up IN the bog! How serene. Wonderful video, very high quality, thank you for posting this! I am always proud to be from this state.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words, Henry!

[@henrydavid8994]

For sure! Good luck this coming winter.

[@danae-rain3019]

I'm making my way through all your videos and I think this is my favorite. I've watched it 3 times. I just love bird nerds! You my people. 💜

[@adairbock6737]

I’d like to go to the bog some day. Also, great birds! Especially the American three-toed woodpecker!

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Thanks! You should definitely check out the bog!

[@jclement1404]

Looks like you have a Pine Grosbeak on the greenery at 8:06 with the Evening Grosbeaks. Great videos guys, thank you.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Sure do! We had a decent number of Pine Grosbeaks there. Love them

[@allclades]

looks like an awsome trip

[@nikolaslastname9480]

"Rare look at a black billed magpie" sounds so strange because we have them everywhere where i live

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Haha please send them our way!

[@nikolaslastname9480]
