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!

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

Thank you, Jessi. We hope the calm continues when you see these fascinating birds in the field and take a shot at ID-ing them!

I tried to keep it basic. It's easy to get confused by all of the plumage details. Enjoy!
