Beautiful Birds Of The Texas Hill Country

Texas is Blessed with lots of beautiful birds. Here are 36 of them in 4K resolution, shot with the Sony RX-10iv. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed the videography and production.

Very nice!

Hi Jimma! Glad you liked it. That makes me happy. Rob

Met you at Juniper bird blind SLSP 06/01/23. Enjoyed your informative conversation and tip for the google app.

[@robertecarpenter]

Thank you Claudia. You are correct. I made those labels using a 4K monitor, so they are easy to read on it, but if you have lower definition, they are hard to read. When watching these videos, be sure to click on the gear icon bottom right of screen and select highest resolution. You taught me a valuable lesson. I will use clearer fonts from now on. Check out my video "Bluebirds in February" at kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZjJnYR7mM6ih6M and see if that one is easier to read. Blessin's Rob

Çok değişik kuşlar ilk defa gördüm emeğinize sağlık

Yorumlarınız için teşekkürler. Tanrı seni korusun. Bir ara seninle kuş gözlemciliği yapmaya gelmek isterim. Türkiye'de misin, Kıbrıs'ta mısın, neredesin? Soymak

Nice video! What is identified as a Merlin appears to be a Cooper's Hawk though. Cheers.

[@reptiledysfunction5512]

Very nice photography! Thanks for sharing. I love the Texas hill country! I believe that the Merlin at 4:42 is an adult Sharp-shinned Hawk.

Thank you so much for the correction. You are right. I will correct it as soon as possible. 561 people saw it. You are the first one to catch it. Rob

Do Texas Fortworth have a lot of tornadoes?

[@robertecarpenter]

Hi Marcel. On March 28, 2000, a powerful F3 tornado struck Downtown Fort Worth. Since 2011 there have been 23 tornadoes within 30 miles of Fort Worth. The following link may be helpful. www.homefacts.com/tornadoes/Texas/Tarrant-County/Fort-Worth.html

@@robertecarpenter I’m scared my family and I are suppose to live to Fort worth Texas. We are from Michigan. Also as far as nature goes I know Texas have Africanized honey bees which are super aggressive. I’m scared.

@@marceld8961 I can definitely empathize with your apprehension. I moved to Texas from Arizona, which doesn't really have any natural disasters (except for perpetual drought/flash floods). I was especially nervous about tornadoes, but I've come to realize that the tornadoes here are nothing like the tornadoes in places in Oklahoma (which are the ones the portrayed in movies). The duration of Texas tornados tend to be pretty short, and they don't usually travel nearly as far as they do in "tornado alley" states. I've been in Texas for five years, and I've gotten used to the dozen or so yearly tornado warnings issued in my area. I'd say the hardest thing, weather-wise, to deal with has been the allergies and the constant hot/cold temperature fluctuations. Don't be scared, the odds are in your favor. As long as you don't end up on the coast, having to deal with the constant threat of hurricanes and flooding, it's all good.

@@marceld8961 Also, about the Africanized Bees, that is a real thing. My husband was, and his crew, were swarmed a couple years back. However, they were all able to outrun the bees, they managed to dive for cover in their trucks. Husband said they were able to outrun them because they heard the loud buzzing before they even saw them. So if you hear sudden loud buzzing, find cover ASAP!

[@marceld8961]

@@ohreally1997 What part of Texas were the bees at? Also what were they doing like where did they find the bees?

Types of birds too small and hard to read.
