Hi, I'm Evan. I like to film and learn about the natural world! On this channel, I dive into the history and biology of the animals you know and love, with info backed by peer-reviewed literature. Thanks for stopping by!
Animals of Texas | The American White Ibis
Animals of Texas has RETURNED! Join Evan as he searches for a nesting colony of the American white ibis and discusses some fascinating information about this species.

Animals of Texas | The Great-Tailed Grackle
Most Smooth prey in nature !?
i love how the young males practice their courtship dance on each other if they can't find a female
My favorite bird! Thank you!
you're funny. instant sub. i never knew the history of this magnificent bird.
But what do they taste like?
I definitely explore that in the sequel
This isn't a Texas bird. That is like calling a Common Grackle a Minnesota bird.
Well if I lived in Minnesota, I would’ve made a video called “Animals of Minnesota: The Common Grackle”. tpwd.texas.gov/publications/pwdpubs/media/pwd_br_w7000_1673a.pdf
I love these guys. Smart motherf*ck*rs.
Long before I knew what they were called, I knew exactly what they sounded like. Growing up in Houston those suckers are everywhere. Especially when we would go to the zoo as a kid, there are flocks that hang out there and just call/sing all the dang time.
I love Grackles
im amazed and so grateful for all the work you put into your videos! im also touched by the love you have for texas wildlife, im from there myself but had to move to CO a few years back and when people here find out they always ask me "oh yeah it really sucks down there doesn't it, haha" and it hurts cuz i miss the birds! i miss the cicadas, i miss the sunshine, i miss all the green. texas is beautiful state and its so nice to find someone else who has so much love for the world around them!
Wonderfully informative.
Great singers, snappy dressers. Very entertaining.
Thank you for sharing this video about the Grackle. I took a picture of a Grackle yesterday.
The migration they do in San Antonio Texas, end of the year they go south in packs of hundreds, why are they always in walmart parking lots lol
Grackles and brewers are my favorite birds. So common and beautiful.
Grackles always look pissed off!😅
That’s because they ARE
People in Austin Texas are waaaay too harsh on grackles. I only ever hear negative things about them, but never anything about their biology and ecology. The aztec history bit surprised me, gonna have to do more research on that. Also Grackles are just silly little guys. They do a practice called “billing” a a non-violent way for males to show dominance to one another. They lift their heads to the sky and the ones who can hold it the longest are more dominant.
If u see a black bird in a whataburger, Wendys or grocery store parking lot, it is a grackle 🙂. Before I knew their real name, I called them french fry birds.
what a lovely video, thank you for teaching me about these birds that I have always enjoyed so much
Life, uh, uh, finds a way...
I heard a grackle making the funniest noise one time
This was such a well-narrated and informative video, and I'm very impressed at the way you handled all the different aspects of the ibis' history and evolution. I'm very curious about the part of the script you had to cut out. I'm currently researching the ibis for an upcoming video of my own and I'd love to talk with you about the birds in detail. Is there any chance we could exchange contact info to discuss what you've learned about the ibis?
"squa-GEEK!" _gickles, probably_
I found your channel when looking for Grackle facts, and I'm glad I did. This video on The American White Ibis was really interesting and wholesome. I think you did a great job, and I really hope your channel grows.
How do you only have 311 subscribers? Your content is great!
I appreciate the time and effort you've put into this wonderful presentation. Great footage and excellent detailed information on this species. Very informative video. I've just recently seen one of these birds in North Texas.
City grackles absolutely get a large portion of their food from insects on automobiles. I have severe allergies and have to live in my car. I watch my graks in the park all day 😂
The males seem to tear off tail feathers of rivals. Generally the bigger a male grak is, the more numerous his tail feathers are. Males that have just reached adulthood often have all of their tail feathers removed, with medium sized males having 1-3 tail feathers and the largest males having the truly enormous tails people usually think of
Hey there! We just watched this video live on Twitch, and I gotta say it's *phenomenal.* EXCELLENT work! Here's hoping that fickle TH-cam algorithm picks up what you're putting down, because this video has a splendid combination of scientific information, everyday connections, and personality. I wish you the best!
Thank you so much for this! We really appreciate your effort and the good knowledge you put here!
I love these birds! ❤🤗
You did such an amazing job the way you done your video, I enjoyed the watch. Watched your grackle video first . Can't wait to see more!!
Thanks for watching! More is on the way this fall!
They sound beautiful
The buuuuurd is the word.
I grew up in south Texas and this is so nostalgic the heat hitting my body sweating from playing running or working out with these birds in the background
great information and editing here. fun vid!!!
my fave birds
4:59
Troopers band 😊
omg love white ibises, such ridiculous and cute birds!!
They are quite amusing! Thanks for stopping by!
“Found it y’all” = goosebumps
I was in Austin 2003-05 and only ever saw these birds there. That sound they make oi oi is what stands out to me about them
I’m definitely u going to go there by the end of this week. Seems like an amazing place
Bring lots of water!
Damn Evan you have a wild life. :P Always cool to see a small creator pop back up on my feed.
Heck yea!!! Finally your coming back!
Thanks for the support!
We moved to Houston right as your grackle video came out and we’ve been hoping for more since. Wish you the best.
Million years my ass! More like the whole Tartarian old world was destroyed in the 1800’s!
Da fuq dog?
@@wildlifeofevan You have proven my point. It’s Idiocracy now.
Nice! Love learning stuff about the locals. 😄
I’m road tripping through Texas right now. I’ve found these birds to be incredibly fascinating, so thanks for the video explaining their history.
It is sad that you never made another like this. 😢
Almost finished with my script for the next video! It will come out in early June!
@@wildlifeofevan You are wonderfully talented. I look forward to it.
Very beautiful bird, my friend.
Thanks! Currently working on an Ibis documentary
I want this entire species to disappear from the face of the earth
