What a great presentation, from a true hummingbird scholar! Especially loved the story about the Brown Violetear.

Another very informative and professional presentation. Thanks for making these videos available online. Appreciate it!

Just spotted some Red-Breasted @ Wolf Lake in Hammond. @ 1st glance, i thought they were regular Mallards, but they were zipping across the water, diving&swimming, and making a different "non-quack" sound 😅👌🏽

Amazing presentation

All great presentations! Thanks!

Great content. Thanks

Excellent! Thank you for this very clear explanation

Hello Mr. Kania, nice channel. Pretty sure you've heard this already, but just in case: in Polish, 'kania' literally means 'kite', as in red kite or black kite (Milvus milvus, milvus migrans). How appropriate for an ornithologist 😉

I have been enjoying your videos. I am currently in your county for a training for work. I don’t have as much time as I’d like to be out birding during daylight hours unfortunately but I have been visiting the nearby forest preserves during my lunch hour- to walk and view birds. So far not much out there but it’s been nice regardless.

Thanks for another informative video! I have been enjoying these a lot. I am in SW Wisconsin (uoper Driftless area).. I’ve only heard the wood thrush but haven’t seen one yet sadly. Brown thrashers are common on our family farm; the hermit thrush I’ve seen a few times now- super cute & shy bird! Ovenbird I’ve also seen a few times now

Well done!

I have Pine Warblers year round here in SC in great numbers. They readily hand feed and are a very relaxed bird and love mealworms and bark butter. Nice video! New sub here.

I appreciate all your videos! I am in SW Wisconsin. Not much for similar videos that are Wisconsin specific.

Would you say grosbeaks are rare?

Very informative and educational video. For me, it's been a little bit challenging to identify them since we get them in basic plumage in the summertime, but the video will help me a lot. Thank you. Warm regards from Peru!

Thanks so much for this great presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks for this! Really enjoyed it.

The scientific names of the canada goose and cackling goose are actually Melanoleucocephalus canadensis and Melanoleucocephalus hutchinsii respectively.

I just can't 100% identify. Can I send a couple of photos for your help?

great explanation..makes live and birding much more easier

The perfect video! It's so calming and easily educational on a rather difficult topic haha

I often hear summer tanagers in my yard but never see them. It's starting to get frustrating! (Arkansas)

If one of the empids respond positively to the sounds, does that mean that is its species? I know that is an open-ended question, but I have one here that perked up with #4 & #5. The baby monitor is in because we had a fallout yesterday. Very informative video!

Beautiful birds! Thanks so much for this helpful informative video! I have just rescued a luecistic house finch fledgling ♥️

I visited this spot recently and turned left instead of right. With the sunrise, that was a mistake because the sun was in my eyes looking into the wetlands. I eventually turned back and met up with some other birders and followed them going counter clockwise. This made viewing much easier. It's definitely worth thinking of the angle of the sun when choosing when and where to bird.

Keep up the good work! We don't have much prairie left here in Ohio. Ninety percent of our wetlands have also been destroyed.

Very helpful, I was just researching Wrens, as I’m travelling from the UK to Ontario later this week, for a birding trip 👍🏻

Helpful. Thanks

A truly awesome series for the serious warbler fan. So often we see them from below and this is a practical analysis that gives you the tools to figure out what you are seeing. Thank you, Denis, for making your detailed drawings. Excellent!

Really terrific, Joe!

Very informative. Thanks!

How amazing this is. Thank you for sharing.

Very helpful! I’m in Tennessee and we have these five species too, though some are just passing by.

How I wish I'd had this tutorial when I was a beginning birder! This video is excellent for the casual backyard birder or anyone who wants to increase their enjoyment in watching birds.

Such a wonderfully practical tutorial! Being able to give good directions to get on a bird is a very useful skill, and one that your birding friends will greatly appreciate.

I have a lesser drake show up on my pond, 3/6/22, in the low country of SC 29431. He's hanging out with my Muscovy ducks

Katie thank you for your work and research I enjoyed your presentation!

Great presentation! Thank you.

Thank you for this tutorial. I live well outside the normal range of Harris sparrow, but without doubt spotted one yesterday, mixed with a group of white-/goldcrowns. It's a very striking bird, and clearly not a house sparrow!! Thanks again: I'll be taking a closer look at that flock

Well done, thanks

Really enjoy your short videos. Thanks,!

Wonderful presentation. Thanks.

This video, the instructor, and the channel are fabulous. What a phenomenal resource!

This video was fantastic. I often find myself lending out a spare pair of binoculars to friends who havent done much birding, and this is a constant challenge. I will sometimes use pointing for a distant bird, but to do so requires us to stand next to each other, and to have our heads very close together and looking in the same direction, so they can actually look down the end of my arm, past my pointed finger, and follow it to where I'm pointing at. Last year during a Christmas bird count, while straining to see a skulky LeConte's sparrow in dense grass, our crew leader did something that left me speechless. Don't try this with a bird that is very close... you may scare it with all the moving around. He looked right at the bird, had me stand directly behind him, and told me to point my binoculars at the back of his head. Once I did so, he bent over (I suppose in a more fragile situation you could take a quiet step to the side) and right where I was looking, where the back of his head had been, was a LeConte's sparrow. it was like a magic trick.

This channel is fantastic. Every video.

may i ask a question, does the common or the red breasted merganser have longer "teeth"

These guys always get me! I’m getting better at IDing them, but they are still tricky! Great tips!

This was excellent. Thank you!

Thank you!
