Great information - thanks for sharing! I was just at the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge for the first time last Monday! What a beautiful birding location and added new species to my life list!

[@mrsturmtastic]

"Let's go find that Limpkin" (Limpkin vocalizes in the background)

[@lorinichols1847]

Funny, but I didn't even notice the "Oh sh*t -- there it goes." I guess because that's such a familiar phrase to me. haha Good video!

[@zebus1]

is the hummingbird nest still there after this timely response?

[@LauraBelgrave]

Fabulous series! I'm forever saving bird photos, then fumbling around on the Internet for an identification. The material you've taught will be of considerable help. (Just saw a female Ruddy duck this morning. You can imagine how long THAT took for a novice to figure out!

[@NatalieHelferty]

Each bird species is coloured to be camoflaged. Observe the shade and colours and patterns of the vegetation and lighting in the habitat it normally occupies and you'll see how specific it is to each species. Note also that if you were a predator from above or below or to the sides how the colours on the birds would blend into the water, sky, sun, soil, rocks and/or vegetation to hide them and fool a predator. This is the same for all wildlife species. Happy birding!

[@edmcgee3512]

The pfd's are more effective if you wear them, instead of storing them on the floor of your canoe.

[@zebus1]

relatable

[@Jsanc2075]

She is sooooo adorable :) Awesome vid!

[@Blirvin]

I could go birding all day every day if that girl was my guide

[@Vikas_Ghorpade]

Cool

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

If I was them, I'd find a cozy meadow and look for the elusive "Hairless Taco Warbler" and the "Spitting Tube Lark." OSH :-)

[@mojakuhinjica]

Super❤❤👍👏👏

[@federico_morilla]

Genau!

[@gameboisaga]

thanks for the credits

[@Hellowicked123]

"oh **** there it goes" why does it say that

[@zebus1]

first "its" is a he (not assuming) and seconds he said it because the bird got hops

[@rridderbusch518]

You should *warn* people to remove their hearing aids if wearing headphones. That BLAST of sound at the start deafened me more than I already am. It served no purpose, too.

[@Jestlow]

Was the oh, Sh*t in the script?

[@zebus1]

probs not but its too funny to not keep in

[@m.hernandez1404]

um.......life jackets?

[@ksuperina]

Where are your PFDs?! Bad, bad, bad...

[@zebus1]

[@jovinavarro2279]

[@leerigby4466]

__Loved every second of this series!__ except for the bleeped-out word. It's so unprofessional to include it. Why did you not just retake the segment? Why must the moment be profane?

[@jacksonkistemaker4417]

who would go and look at birds for hours.

[@AustinALiboiron]

Me

[@savithrisingh3152]

Lots of people would! maybe even for days! Or months!

[@AustinALiboiron]

Yesterday I biked 60km outside of my city and hiked 8km just to find a gold mine of migratory birds. It was probably a ten hour ordeal!

[@rajanrao]

Me, my day record is 105 species in the bay area, I'm working on building it up tho

[@zebus1]

people that want to... who would want to read this comment next to the ones that hates on the idea. just dont watch the video

[@cswatson4823]

Can we drop an F bomb?

[@LPSKookieTube]

Why do people say the S word!

[@zebus1]

@jsscrlsn yes
