Greater White-Fronted Geese, NW Missouri
มุมมอง 60021 วันที่ผ่านมา
Fall migration brings huge numbers of geese through the Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge in northwest Missouri. This flock is mostly Greater White-Fronted Geese, with a few ducks and American Coots mixed in. I counted roughly 400 this afternoon. Nearby, a larger flock of Snow Geese was building into the thousands. Video by Dave aka lefty beatle on 21 November 2024.

Eastern Wood-Pewee calling
มุมมอง 283 หลายเดือนก่อน
One of my favourite backyard bird calls has to be the Eastern Wood-Pewee. Here's one this morning in Kansas City, MO. The Wood-Pewee is a common type of flycatcher, separated into Eastern and Western subspecies. As with any flycatcher, a call or song is key to identification as a lot of them look quite similar.
black squirrels!

The Great Lakes basin is home to the Eastern Gray Squirrel, with a large chunk of the population defined as "black morph." I grew up with black squirrels in Southern Ontario, and I always toss a handful of peanuts to them whenever I'm up for a visit. "If you want a friend, feed any animal." Perry Farrell

Did a double take and had to listen to this a few times ... but I think announcer and legendary golfer Morgan Pressel just said, "She's f kin' fired up!" on the Golf Channel following a great shot by Canadian Olympian Brooke Henderson.

Cardinal feeding a Cowbird; why do they do this?
มุมมอง 2.1K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Why would an adult Northern Cardinal be feeding a baby Brown-Headed Cowbird? The answer simple: the young bird was born and raised in a Cardinal's nest. In other words, the Cowbird believes (for now) that it is a Cardinal, and the Cardinal believes the baby to be a Cardinal, and that's all that matters. A brief explanation follows. Brown-Headed Cowbirds, which are a type of flocking blackbird, ...

American Avocets are fairly large, migratory shorebirds with long legs and a long slender bill that turns up at the end. A simple colour pattern of white and dark body and wings with a rusty head and neck. Video by Dave, aka lefty, 23 May 2024, Clinton Lake, Douglas County, Kansas.
Red Knot in breeding plumage; 23 May 2024 in Douglas County, Kansas

Uncommon to see a Red Knot in breeding plumage as it passes through Kansas during the month of May on its migratory journey north. Red Knot is a shorebird, noted by its rusty red front and a black/white speckled look to its back and wings. The only other time I've seen them to date was in duller non-breeding plumage in winter near Port Canaveral FL. video by Dave aka lefty on 22nd May 2024 at B...

BirdMann!! Hope youre doin well buddy long time 🍻 Wish I had some snow here
good to see your still making videos
Pepper crossed the Rainbow Bridge in October. She's the one closest to the camera. She was a great kitty. Best wishes to you, REAL DJ!
@@leftybeatle239 that sucks :(
I miss the good old times new record in the works ⏺
Interesting call.
My cats love grass too. I just wish they wouldn't come back inside to throw it up. lol
She says Brittany, Brittany is Brookes sister and also caddie and a great player herself. i missed what led to the “fuk’en fired up” commentary.
Almost enough to excuse her annoying voice
This is probably the only time I've ever liked Morgan Pressel 's commentary! 🤮 🤣
the always feisty Morgan
My favorite woman's broadcaster
@@davidhughes9970 Morgan is tremendous. Had a hell of a career as well.
She even emphasized, "FUCKen fired up". I love it.
And then she apologized and even denied that that's what she said. Funny woman
Gold Medal for the broadcaster
Hi lefty. I am a new fan of your channel and like your posts and music videos you have. I am a musician too but don’t post anything on my channel. I also like the Beatles. If I may ask you how long have you been performing and what is your favorite Beatles song to play?
They think they are mates.
Really interesting that even though this cowbird was raised by cardinals, he wont grow up thinking he's a cardinal... He know he's a cowbird, he will grow up to find other cowbirds and pair up so they can lay eggs in another birds nest all over again. I wonder if the parents that raise a cowbird influence whose nest they choose to lay eggs in... Will this cowbird instinctually go for cardinals when he grows up? Will for some reason would they instinctually avoid another cardinal?
Have you heard of the "mafia hypothesis," that brood parasite birds will destroy the nests of host birds that reject the parasite offspring? Love this video and all the info very interesting. Also love that they are legally a part of the ecosystem. I observed a parasited nest under my porch roof, which had one host chick, a sabiá, growing next to a cowbird chick. They were so obviously different, in color and shape. Yet they were cared for like brothers. They both fledged and left the nest at the same time
@@dianasalles0 I've heard of this behavior. I've also heard of Yellow Warblers building new nests on top of Cowbird eggs because something ain't right.
This is fascinating. I had no idea parents continued to feed brood parasites even after they fledged.
"It must be noted that it is illegal to harm, destroy or remove Cowbird eggs or to kill Cowbirds." Catch me. "They're just doing what they do and that ultimately must be respected." So am I. That irony is lost on you, isn't it?
So, basically, you're comparing the consciousness and environmental awareness of a human to that of a cowbird: An animal just doing what it is genetically programmed to do. Mind you, humans have caused far more harm to bird populations across the planet than any cowbird could even dream of. Unlike the birds, we have no excuse.
You and cowbirds have a lot in common.
@@jeil5676 I've known people who were devout Buddhists who believed it was wrong to pick ticks off your body, because they'd die without your blood. Unless you also believe that, you've got no business pretending it's any different to toss out cowbird and cuckoo eggs. Edit: I should note that it's not merely forced adoption - cowbirds hatch before the other chicks and will kill or push their legitimate nestmates out so as to monopolize the mother's food and attention. The long-term devotion you see in this video may well be the result of this cowbird having killed all the other chicks.
Today I learned, thanks to this video, that cuckoos are not the only species that do this. There is a whole class of brood parasites! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brood_parasitism
Because Cowbirds are not nice! They will not raise their own young. They will find the nest of another species of bird, like this Cardinal here, they will flip the Cardinals eggs out of the nest, and replace those eggs, with their own eggs!!! So, the other species of bird (like this Cardinal) will end up hatching the baby cowbirds, and caring for them until they mature. If you see a thing like this, the Cardinal feeding the baby Cow Bird, know that that Cardinals own eggs were destroyed by the parents of that baby Cow Bird. Thats why Cowbirds can be considered parasitic. They don't raise their own young, but get other birds to do so, by substituting their eggs in the place of the eggs of the "host bird" Cowbirds are also bullies at feeders and are hard to get rid of.
@@lindyc.2552 Appreciated, but also addressed in the video description. Thanks.
@@leftybeatle239 Got it! I didn't see that description. All I saw was the question. I see the description now. I was only trying to share a little info. for anyone who saw your question. I'm not a know it all...just a genuine bird lover, who wanted to share a little knowledge, that's all.
So cowbirds is like cuckoo. They can weap out another species...
Parasites are part of the ecosystem, just like predators. They are no more evil than any other species and we should respect them. Besides, there is a limit to how good cowbirds can be at replacing cardinals. If the cardinals don't reproduce, then eventually there will be no nests for the cowbirds to parasitize. Cardinals still exist, so clearly there is some balancing effect going on.
@@VITAS874It’s a survival strategy called “brood parasitism”. Several duck species also do this.
So cool you caught that moment!
I hope you can also make it to the triangle earth.
Nice and beautiful video. Thanks for sharing & big like
