Another way to differentiate a Pileated and an Ivory-billed is the face color. Pileated has white face/chin stripe and the Ivory-billed goes from a white bill to a black face.

My opinion on the Hawk at 9:02 would be a Cooper’s based on the tail and head. Tail appears rounded rather than squared off and head appears for structured rather than a Sharp-shinned who has a squared forehead and short beak. Eyes also don’t appear “fierce” and bulbul like a sharp-shinned. I’m not the next best with these accipiters, that’s just what I’ve learned in the field. I would describe the face and head of a Sharp-shined as “compact”.

Great day of birding!I got my lifer Ferruginous Hawk in Utah last year, they really are awesome birds.

Awesome stuff, I've just begun my birding journey as well. Found both of your channels while planning a trip to Antelope Island for the first time. Thanks for sharing!

The narwhal should be name "Narly".

A few days ago I saw a Eurasian wryneck, they are very rare in the UK (less than 300 migrants every year!)

Good stuff guys😎

How do you get a picture without the circle?

Another fantastic birding adventure by the Utah BirdTubers!! FEHA's are a bird we get in my province also!

“A hawk with Hawkin” haha love it. Great vid as always so sweet to be a part of that adventure !

Repeat the sacred mantra after me... "Let's see what birds we can find...?" ;-)

Good morning to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. How is your camera-view bird feeder, what kind of birds (and maybe squirrels) visited your bird feeder ? Would be interesting to know…….🤔 By the way, both you and Hawkins should come to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR to look at the vast numbers of local birds. You two should also go to Japan 🇯🇵 and Singapore 🇸🇬 to find and look for birds that only exist in East Asia. 😉😉😉😉

That was great footage of the Ferruginous hawk.

Would love to go gulling with you guys in about a month

Beautiful shots of the hawk! Both that and the Swainsons are on our goal list next time we are out west. Nice catch of the Sabine's too.

I think a sub species of ivory billed wood pecker is still alive in Cuba

Fascinating video, really engaging!

I enjoyed your video. Thanks for iding the birds in Pasadena as I see most of them when I am walking but didn't know the species.A lot of new species have snown up the past few years as the weather changes. Too bad you missed the peacocks in Altadena. Nothing like seeing a peacock walking up the street in the daytime. Those birds are noisy!

The Crested Caracara is a bit if a frustration bird for us this year, since we had really great views of it in Florida but had no way to get it on camera. Unfortunately for our challenge, that means it doesn't count. We have had lots of unsuccessful chases, but as you said, that is part of the fun in birding!

I loved the stories! Particularly connections to former presidents. So cool!

It's truly sad what the European settlers did to a decent proportion of the wildlife in North America. The Native American populations had a much healthier approach to managing the land and the animals that live on it. Reading and teaching Linda Hogan's novel Mean Spirit, and it gets into this quite a bit. Hope your studies are going well. Congrats on the lifer. I got my lifer Canada warbler this morning and it was amazing. We have two endemic warblers in my native St. Lucia, the St. Lucian warbler, and the Semper's Warbler. Unfortunately, the Semper's hasn't been seen since 1961. It lays its eggs at ground level, so the mongoose that was introduced from India decimated the population. Though small, St. Lucia does have some dense forests and elevated places, and is underbirded, so there is a chance. A serious expedition to find it needs to take place, and until then, I'm keeping hope alive.

Excellent😉

Wouldn’t it be so fantastic if I was the person to see an ivory billed woodpecker in Florida if I go there next year?! (I know this won’t happen but I’m just dreaming of it lol)

You know ofc it’s always nice to tick off birds for your lifelist and stuff. But when I met up with a friend for the first time in a nature reserve in England this summer he really showed me and inspired me just like you, to take your time and appreciate every moment with a bird you see and just take your time to admire it. I really want to do that more.

If I have time I’m gonna try and do some more birding in Fochtloërveen because this time of year is best for Red footed falcon here in the Netherlands

It’s funny how often people think they have seen a Ivory billed woodpecker, but it just ends up being a pileated woodpecker. Really hope its still out there somewhere. I know black woodpeckers are secretive so it could very well be that there’s some individuals hiding somewhere

I got my Solitary Sandpiper lifer today at Farmington Bay. Woohoo! What a cute little bird. I'm really liking these list/educational videos you've been making. The black and white picture with the woodpecker on the man's back and all the back stories are fun. You put lots of work into your videos and I look forward to your next adventure.

IT WOULD BE THE GREATEST THING EVER FOR THE IVORY BILLED TO BE ALIVE.....BUT ITS NOT. EQUALLY IMPORTANT IS THE THYLACINE.....NOT GONNA HAPPEN THOUGH. I'd rather see those two than any dinosaur. You claim the Mexican Bird the largest..but the Audubon Society claims the Ivory Billed...?.....unless you mean still alive, or alive since the Ivory croaked......

Fun video! We had pileated woodpeckers in our woodsy backyard in Minnesota... My mom would buy beef suet and hang it from a hook outside our dining room window in the ringer. They don't come super often, but when they did, we'd hold totally still and just sit and watch. Beautiful beautiful birds. My mom told me all about the ivory billed and how it could still be out there when I was a kid. I definitely think there's a possibility! Maybe some trail cams up higher in the tree canopy could catch a view. But somebody would have to go install it. I'm not volunteering. 😆

My favorite owl was a Snowy Owl that showed up in Cypress, California around the first of the year in 2023. We made the drive up from San Diego and it was sitting on top of a house in a suburban neighborhood.

I got a Northern Saw-whet Owl here in the highest mountains of San Diego County. Following up on intell we had got of its location, we heard it first. It took about 90 minutes for us to locate it in the tall pine trees even though it was calling constantly. We used a thermal imaging scope to locate it, then got looks with our flashlights and binoculars.

Given all the research that I've done and analyzed all the sightings I definitely have to go with no. 1 being out there. Unfortunately I think that Bachmans is gone. The Pink Headed Duck could be out there as well because of its rarity and the way it hides out in hard to reach areas (same as the Ivory Billed). I think that Geoff Hill and Mark Michaels may have sighted the Ivory Bill in the panhandle of Florida.

Good morning to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. In the more remote areas of New Territories of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 and sometimes along the beachfront promenade, both the Barn Swallows and House Swifts can be seen. We also have the Pacific Swifts, Common Swifts. On the other hand, the Asian Palm Swift is a common resident in tropical Asia from India to the Philippines.

I was very happy to hear and see an ivory-billed woodpecker in 2018 near Enterprise, Alabama not far from the Choctawhatchee River. I first heard its "kent" call and saw it in a woodlot next to a lake. It had a pale white beak and two white lines on its back, as well as a black face with a red crest.

Congrats on your surprise lifer.

Personally I think the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is extinct. But nothing is impossible.The most likely one to still be there is the duck.There are some dense forest habitats in Myanmar and India.

Hi! Loved seeing all the water birds. No apologies needed for your enthusiasm! That makes the video great!

Congrats on breaking your lifer drought. Pine Grosbeak would be a lifer for us. Maybe when we visit in next May we might be lucky.

Congrats on getting your target! Despite living in Canada, I've never seen a Canada Jay! Their range just doesn't extend as far south as I live in the east. Someday I'll go north to find them!

So glad we got it!!! What a great day of birding

The end of this video...I couldn't have worded it any better. If you haven't already, please look into your local Audubon group for field trips and events. In my area, the majority of the trips are free or pretty close to free and you get to bird with birders on all levels. I was shocked to hear you say you rarely bird with anyone else. I vote for Florida!

shoutout to the Canada Jay and Jrow

What equipment do you use? Also, how come your videos are nearly always localised to Utah? Could you not go birding in Mexico or Europe or something?

Good stuff young man, appreciate the research🧑🏼‍🎓

Heh, dig that cheeky Brown Creeper with the vertical style...
