Identify YOUR Backyard Birds

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Section 1: How to Learn About the Common Birds in Your Area 0:56 Section 2: How to Practice Your Bird ID 7:10 Section 3: How to Identify Common Birds 11:15 There's many more resources you can use, these are just the few that I use pretty regularly and I think they're a great starting point for beginners. Happy Birding!

I created an account and looked up my Target Species. WOW!!! Thank you for creating this video!! SO Helpful to get me started on my Birding journey.

[@OutsideChronicles]

Awesome, super helpful for a new birder like me.

[@quadjphotos9108]

Great video....thank you for sharing the various tools that can be used for bird IDing.

[@johnburnham5225]

So helpful! I’ve been doing soul searching due to “current events” and me and my grandpa used to try to identify birds by their look and song. Call it nostalgia but I’ve decided I want to make a KZbin channel for birds! Birding is the term huh? AWESOME content and help man. Keep it up 🤗

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

That's amazing! I wish you luck, it's honestly one of the best hobbies IMO. Gets you outdoors and connects you with nature, nothing better!

[@roxcastaneda]

Great smile! Totally justified because you have the best job in the world!

[@klwenz93]

Thank you for this informational video! I’m very new to birding as a small dabbling hobby and I LOVED all these tips!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

No problem! I was hoping it wasn't too complicated or advanced for beginners. Happy to hear you enjoyed the tips, thank you! 😁

[@vickiward3470]

This video was very helpful. I have bird feeders in my yard, binoculars and a bird watching book. The resources and information you provided taught me how to identify birds. Thank you so much.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thank you! Happy to help 🙂

[@chelseas2884]

Thanks for sharing! This is such a helpful video for a total beginner.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

That's great to hear! Very glad I could help 🙂

[@iwonka]

What a super video. I can't imagine why anyone would thumbs down this video. Thank you for helping me to figure out Ebird and for all your tips and tricks on how to get into this birding hobby. I LOVE it so far. My parents in laws gave me a bird feeder for Christmas nd I have been loving it since.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Yay! Happy to hear you're enjoying birding. It's such a great hobby! Hope you're getting some good birds at your feeder.

[@janicebroad2278]

Very well done! Thank you!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thanks!

[@LollyQ.]

This information has been an awesome tool for me to learn with. Thank you sir for sharing it with us. I hear a Northern Cardinal outside now! Gotta run...thanks again.

[@sandrabosch4020]

I am enjoying bird school haha! Thanks for taking the time to explain the technology - less intimidating than I had assumed.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Haha thank you! Yes, I love what they've done with the website and apps. Very straightforward and easy to use, great for the field!

[@adamelias1880]

I'm new to birding, and this video and your entire channel is so helpful! Thanks for sharing your passion and creating such good content!

[@wesleysularz3069]

I'm a new birder and found it a bit tricky to identify birds until I stumbled upon your awesome channel and this video. I was able to correctly identify a couple backyard birds within minutes of getting those apps. Super helpful!

[@williamriach2261]

Again, thank you for creating this video. I am quickly learning about the birds I am seeing, hearing, and photographing. I am cataloging my images and data on eBird. I photographed a Brown Creeper yesterday which is NOT in my Top 25 Most Common Birds list! Thanks!

[@ValerieHollifield]

Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Yay! I'm very happy to hear! Thanks for letting me know 🙂

[@kathylynch2411]

Thank you so much! this was so helpful!!!

[@alpenjon]

Thank you man you single handedly got me into birding :) Love your enthusiasm!

[@glater]

Outstanding video! Now, maybe I can start to learn about species in my area. I registered for ebird and Merlin and found so many birds I never knew came through my area. Will have to try some of the parks at Canyon Lake. Thanks so much.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thank you so much! I was very surprised when I first downloaded the apps too. If there's any species in the app you really want to see, you can go on the eBird website and search for areas where that species is found nearby. Very helpful!

[@---fw3lp]

Thanks so much ! This is my first time getting into bird watching and I had no idea where to start. Your video was just what I needed :) and now I'm excited to teach my little one to do the same. We have a window bird feeder and see such beautiful birds come to say hello, so I can't wait to learn more about them .. Great video!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thank you so much, I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Bird watching is very addicting! I hope you enjoy your feeder birds and hopefully you get some new ones passing through 🙂

[@gaanderson3732]

[@agreenl1]

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Yay! You'll learn them in no time! Which area are you in?

[@agreenl1]

Toronto

[@KasyMini]

Thank you for this really informative video. It's a great starting point for beginners like myself.

[@sierraseb3311]

I began birding in 1991. So I have decades worth of trip lists, yard list, life list etc. all in paper format, of course, that I would love to digitalize into eBird. Its an overwhelming project. I was hoping you might find it worth your while to do a video on how to most easily and efficiently input old historical data into eBird. Loved your pond creation videos. BTW. I discovered your channel through Badgerland Birding. Thanks

[@williamriach2261]

Super Cool!! Thank you, just what I need.

[@pattivoss7372]

Learned a lot thanks

[@vinnyvillano8862]

Thanks this was a great video, I am brand new to bird and trying to come up to speed. Seems like this should help a lot.

[@CheikoSairin]

I'm a nature lover from Singapore. Your video very informative and I really like it. Thanks for the information. I'm a new subscriber in your channel. Let's stay connected.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thank you so much! I've always wanted to visit Singapore, I'll have to check out some of your videos 🙂

[@CheikoSairin]

@@TheWildlifeHomestead your welcome. I hope you enjoy watching my video

[@phylliskasper628]

Perfect for the beginner.

[@stevencharter1803]

Great info..Looks a great site to use...)

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!

[@lilyarendse3342]

That was soooo helpful ohh my god

[@mremumerm]

Hi Stefano, curious as you are in Montreal area, have you found any good resource to get English- French (Canadian) names of birds? I currently find myself in Ottawa, and encounter many francophones, but i find most times i only know the English name of the birds.

[@pamelakitchens5549]

Does this app ldentify birds by their sounds

[@PauleLeGad]

Thank you ;-)

[@twiztedzero1685]

Sound is the one thing I have to hunt without. I'm Deaf in real life, rubella baby from the early 60's epidemic. So for me binoculars, observation, and a lifetime of fieldcraft and my love for the outdoors is what keeps me going. - IG: DarkWaterPhotoMedia - :) This COVID-19 thing is aggravating; it's spring - I want to hit the trails but everything is shut down to prevent people congregating. I did manage to capture some robins and starlings through my dirty apartment windows (maybe today's rain will clean them?). The day before I just missed capturing a pair of Ravens just outside my windows, my camera was in the bag - the battery not in the camera either, ARGH! I've been trying to get these particular ravens for 2 years now.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Yeah it has been tough, especially during migration. It's probably the time of the year that people are usually out most for bird photography. At least we still have some backyard birds to get us by!

[@jrbruno1339]

Very helpful. I HAVE. Blue Jay's cardenal moking bird Robin's dove birds ravens woodpeckers .

[@katrinagross4525]

Challenge accepted. 🙌 #top25

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Yay! Goodluck 🙂

[@godsinbox]

I'd be shocked to find a northern cardinal in my backyard in the southern hemisphere.
