If you guys go to South Padre Island during springtime ( second and third week of April ) it's amazing how many Orioles and Tanagers and Warblers are showing up at these vacant lots right near the middle of the island it's unbelievable and a lot of Birders that live on the Island are setting up oranges , hummingbird feeders and suet bars for these Migrating Birds .

I’ve heard it’s soooooo good in the spring!

[@deliaguzman1138]

Going this coming April 14-22! I can’t wait!

The American Oystercatcher is such a pretty bird and is a true sign of the beginning of spring along the NY-New England shoreline. I enjoy listening to the Willet's song, esp during calm, comfy evenings in the spring before the temperatures begin to heat up and mosquitoes hatch.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Key there is BEFORE the mosquitos hatch lol

[@captain1697]

Incredible footage yall!! And congrats on the groove billed ani. South Padre is a dream location for me!

[@thecornells7430]

Brilliant video guys. Really useful information. 🇬🇧 Definitely have to get to Texas . Many thanks 👍

[@BadgerlandBirding]

You absolutely do! You’d have a fantastic time!

[@hollyperry3774]

I have some free time in early January and am planning on spending some time there, can't wait to see what shows up!

[@BadgerlandBirding]

That’s definitely an excellent time to go! There will most likely be some rarities around then

[@LamJiang]

The birds are so beautiful and wonderful. Thank you for sharing! Our country also has many birds. Please visit! Wish you peace. Thank you very much!

Haha! 70-degree cold front?! If cold was only 70, I could survive it better. :D Great video, as always!

[@BadgerlandBirding]

I know right!?

[@barbaracole709]

Congratulations on the wood stork, Nathaniel! We have them in SC too and I really like them. Looks like a nice visit!

[@BadgerlandBirding]

It’s always nice to see a wood stork even if it’s not a lifer!

[@NathanWebb-c5h]

That was fun to watch! I hope you have a merry Christmas.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Thanks, Nathan! Merry Christmas to you too!

As you move towards the Equator, you will find more and more "birding paradises".

[@BadgerlandBirding]

I think that’s true!

[@RoseGrace100]

You guys got me interested in going to South Padre last year and I went for 2 weeks. I loved it and can’t wait to go again.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Really glad to hear that!

[@WalkingEng]

Great video. I’m looking at heading to South Texas early next year. Looks like I’m going to need some extra days added to the trip!!

[@BadgerlandBirding]

So many cool spots!

[@kitkat5765]

A very small bit like my Grand Cayman trip in November, though the anis there are smooth-billed (and they don't have scissor-tails, alas). Fantastic birds! Hard to say what my faves were but jealous of your storks. Aren't black-necked stilts so funny, too? They startled me when I first came across them (they were screaming, lol).

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Yeah they’re total goobers!

[@Shrock568]

Ryan your Derek voice impression sounds a little too deep, but that does sound like something he would say.

[@flutterbyjane1]

Do you say when you visited? Maybe i missed it

[@BadgerlandBirding]

We normally try to put it in the description but we forget sometimes! This was in November!

You repeatedly mispronounce the word species. Research it.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Either pronunciation is accepted. Stop trying to be the grammar and pronunciation police and enjoy the birds
