Might I recommend for all the beginners, get a Field Guide of Birds in your particular state/area. They are incredibly helpful, most of them list the birds not by name but by color so you can easily find a bird you don't recognize and a list in the back to check off birds as you see them.

[@Lavendeer201]

That's exactly what I need and I can't find any good resources on the internet!

[@theamazinghippopotomonstro9942]

I got the nat geo field guide for birds of north America, really good book

[@user-jn2wx7db1c]

As I am retired and spend much time at home, I’ve come to love my backyard bird pets ( all are free to fly away) and we have truly communicated. Southeastern New England and surrounded by leafy woods and open backyard. Many species with birdhouses and nests nearby. I love watching them do their thing. It is a great way to connect with nature, peace, and just maybe philosophical

[@fensthespook8866]

What a great tutorial for beginners like me. So much I had never even thought about!

[@abesapien9930]

Wonderful! I have been tiptoeing around birding for several years now, and this introduction just makes me want to get into it even more.

[@Maiden_Warrior_Crone]

I'm so grateful for this video! I am now in the midst of taking the online course, and enjoying it immensely. Thank you so much! Cheers from The Hague!

[@Wondrium]

Thank you for your kind words! Enjoy this course and so many more and never stop learning!

[@birdsiview3771]

Helpful video with lots of good pointers for amateur birders.

[@FolstrimHori]

The first few minutes are just him telling us how much he loves his wife. Is nice.

[@MrFoxxFrequency7WnWuhBYV3eCA]

I like your note about identifying a bird as a hummingbird by its flight. Paraphrased, basically you just need to be sober, ha. ha. I struggle with identifying the different hummingbird species when they are in flight, though. Its all a beautiful blur. Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I had no idea there were so many ways I could identify a bird

[@ranleyevarts]

Very educational and helpful. Thank you....

[@pjd2709]

[@veronikab1390]

Last winter, a belted kingfisher stayed all winter by a lake near me, here in Pennsylvania, which I know is very unusual behavior. I thought they migrated before winter.

[@mituldesai666]

Very useful lecture ...I Liked ...

[@alimosvi740]

Came here looking for mockingbird behavior in California. Since March 2016. and now July they're quiet. Where did they go? They only started showing up here consistently since 2016.

[@chloroplast8611]

Yogesh Verma put some seeds near the nest but not close enough for the baby birds

[@BlackNight603]

Just read Birding Basics and you'll know everything

[@anusuyadevi8090]

Nice video

[@stephaniewoodcamilleri5271]

Does anyone know the species on the TV at 26:34

[@petrgrfn7665]

I looks like some sort of house finch, but I'm not sure, the beak looks like it's smaller than its head and its beak looks like it's all purpose. so, I hope I can help you

[@ashwins.9146]

Common Redpoll.

[@imtiazahmadwildlifephotography]

[@farinafranqui]

I knew your accent was different! I just saw a comment that said you are south African.

[@thecadschool1114]

intresting

[@rajisljivo2785]

I need your help!i think I found a new species or sub species, it is possibly related to a wren or bushtit but it is a very dark but pale green I need your help!

[@Wondrium]

Hi Raji, you could try taking a photo of the bird and using Google Image search to find matching images, or there may be a birding group in your area who could help! There's even a number of bird identification sites online where you can put in characteristics and find out which one you've been watching. Good luck!

[@dakotadawn5789]

Secretary birds

[@Kampusproperty]

I like singing bird America 😍

[@springhillgolfer878]

I walk 5 miles a day. Walking, unlike biking, allows you to see birds in flight.

[@TICIKARMA]

Google doesn't tell me anything.

[@TarekMidani]

7:10 everything is slower in the South 😂

[@formermpc10]

Even the people.

[@eliotroby]

2:25 'I use a suite of ID tools subconsciously to identify my wife.'

[@leastimnotarepublican]

Dippers👈👌

[@chasfleming]

Tail wagging exclusive to whatever he said is so inaccurate, what about Wagtails, Grey Wagtail and White Wagtail? So it that point, do I take any notice of him?

[@pizzanpepsi]

Don't bother getting complete course. There is just too much info that is crammed into each section. Better off buying a book. The Lectures where he describes each variety of birds would have been more useful if the call's were included for each bird! Only a handful were included.

[@joepancari3842]

I'm a birdier!!

[@jhconnor88]

This guy loves his wife

[@sebas4443]

aburre mirar tanto a un hombre uno tiene ser mas ilstrativo tratandose de birs aunbexplicando

[@scottanderson7793]

I think he has a wife...

[@Roberuizvi]

Please, the names in latin. We are many people who don´t be interest in yours invented names. At least, both.
