Birding the Rio Grand Valley Pt 1|| Lifer Quest

phew it's a long one 😅
Rarity chase for the Grey-collard Becard and the Roadside Hawk! Although we didn't get to see our target birds on the first day we still got a total of 11 lifers for Friday and 7 more on Saturday.
Fun Fact! Brownsville is a 19-hour drive from Ringgold, GA! We did it all in one day!

New subbie from central Alberta, Canada. 🇨🇦 We get the Warblers up here and I would love to see the Green Jay and Roseate Spoonbill. Great closeup of the Green Heron.

Thanks! They were pretty amazing to see. It's amazing how far some of these birds travel.

Great video, I think I met yall over in Dunlap a couple of years ago looking for Swallow-tailed Kites lol You should really plan a trip to SE Arizona, it's mind blowing the number of species that are there. Especially the hummingbirds.

[@GATNBirding]

That sounds familiar. We did go there briefly Oct of 2022 but we'd really like to go again.

Met ya'll at Laguna by the least Grebe. Keep up the good work

[@GATNBirding]

Cool! It was nice to meet ya 😊

We would be able to actually hear your narration if you turn the music off. Thanks, I look forward to seeing more.

[@GATNBirding]

It's pretty dry without music but it can be turned down lower

[@user-tb9py1re4h]

It won’t be dry at all. 1) I hear sounds and voices from the original video 2) I hear the narration 3) I hear the added music As a viewer, having all 3 makes it impossible to make any sense of it. You’ve captured some great live video. Trust what you have is of great value and interest to many watchers and that we will want to watch from beginning to end. Looking forward to the next one. ❤
