I just found this, so Im well late for the party but a really good video with lots of info. Keep up the good work and Im sure there are newer videos for me to find.

Help so many house sparrows and starling s in northern ontario sad sights for both barn and tree swallows mostly flickers taking it from stsrlings

Awesome video ... thank you!

Thanks for an informative video! Could you specify the gulls in Latin names? We call these ones Larus Argentatus or "Gråmåke" in Norway. They are the only ones staying all year. I have a regular visitor and he brought his family to the buffet!: th-cam.com/video/-vuil8MgkNk/w-d-xo.html

It's an alright intro, however those are abundant. It gets unrecognized, that birders are often quite loyal to the hobby for a very long time. They read the basic literature a long time ago , and sometimes find it left them unconvinced , as to the IDs . What is most needed is actually disambiguation about the less common or more challenging presentations. For instance, in Florida we have red tails which don't really present much patagial marking. Sharpies don't always show a straight tail termination, and broadwings can look a lot like red-shouldered juveniles. Perched and in flight, flight feather lengths vary , some birds are just disproportionate for the species. It's therefore the difficult discernment which can use airtime , and not really the basic stuff ... imo.

Go northern Ontario go awesome video

Thank you Jean very informative for this rookie birder. Keep doing what you do.

Very helpful thank you

Thank you Justin. Very informative. Been birding for only a year and had no idea of the diversity of gulls. Lots to learn and looking forward to the challenge of identifying in the future.

Awesome! Thank you!

Fantastic presentation. Thank you!

Too many gullls.

"Rare gulls are rare..." so true, but when you do actually come across one of those special uncommon-to-rare-to-mega rare Larus gulls... that feeling is what it's all about!

Superb review of Ontario raptors in flight. I really appreciated how the terms wing length and tail length are defined- not as absolutes but as ratios to wing breadth.

Is there not an adult ring-billed gull two birds below/to the right of the adult GBBG at 100:30 ?

On behalf of all bird lovers of the UK, apologies for the Londoner with the anti-gull attitude! That comment was unacceptable. Tell us where he is and we'll give him a good talking to! Unbelievable. The funniest bird ignorance I've come across was someone it our local park asking when the black swans would change colour and turn white...

Thanks for the video! I've been trying to get better with my winter gulls and it's been tricky! Cheers

Thank you for sharing this. The tips for creating your 5MR circle and your patch were very helpful!!! I am only finding this 11 months too late! But it is just in time for 2022 !

Excellent, highly informative presentation!

A shorebird is any bird that is included within the order Charadriiformes, whilst shorebirds belonging to the families Turnicidae (Buttonquails), Pedionomidae (Plains Wanderer), Thinocoridae (Seedsnipes), Rostratulidae (Painted Snipes), Jacanidae (Jacanas), Scolopacidae (Snipes, Curlews, Sandpipers, Godwits, Woodcocks, Dowitchers, Phalaropes, Shanks, Tattlers, Turnstones, Knots, Stints, Dunlin, Ruff, and Surfbird), Charadriidae (Plovers and Lapwings), Pluvianellidae (Magellanic Plover), Recurvirostridae (Avocets and Stilts), Ibidorhynchidae (Ibisbill), Haematopodidae (Oystercatchers), Burhinidae (Stone Curlews), Chionidae (Sheathbills), Glareolidae (Pratincoles and Coursers), Dromadidae (Crab Plover), and Pluvianidae (Crocodile Bird) are specifically called waders, additionally, shorebirds that are called waders are a paraphyletic group because the families Burhinidae, Chionidae, Glareolidae, Dromadidae, and Pluvianidae are more closely related to the shorebird families Laridae (Gulls), Stercorariidae (Skuas), Sternidae (Terns, Noddies, and Skimmers), and Fraterculidae (Puffins, Razorbill, Auks, Auklets, Guillemots, Murres, and Murrelets) than they are to other shorebird families with species called waders.

Missing Canada Goose!

When feathers 🪶 are weathered do the have a little harder time flying. I wonder if they have to put more effort in when flying.

Bonaparte gull is beautiful that picture of one with the ducks 🦆 looks like a dove 🕊 of some kind.

When I lived in Maryland I would see more than 1 kind. The regular ones then a giant sized one. I just learned that the brown ones are babies off “Feeding Steven” channel here on TH-cam. Great videos, you should check it out!

Great presentation filled with info, images and videos!! The best I have seen. Many thanks Jean. 👍🤗

This is really relaxing

Yes

This was great. I never knew about the radar. Thanks a lot

Thank you so much for this presentation! I really have been avoiding gulls due to their similarities. I feel ready to actually try IDing them now!

Nice video!

Very helpful! Thank you!

Thank you OFO and Justin, really enjoyed this and learned a lot.

For the love of god no one is going to share your passion for gulls listening to you drone on.... Over 12 minutes in and you haven't said anything. I came to learn how to ID gulls not listen to you all the reasons why I should ID them.

Thanks Mike. Great info.
