Texas Birding Adventure in Search of Mangrove Warblers!

- The Mangrove Warbler is a fascinating subspecies of Yellow Warbler than can only be found in select areas of the United States, and further south. We went on a boat with our friend Justin LeClaire, to see if we could find these unique birds, along with some other cool species found in Texas.

The mangroves are very cool for birding.
Amazing birding adventure. I enjoyed watching it. Big LIKE from Singapore.
Thanks so much! I bet you have some amazing birds in Singapore!
Great boat trip guys that looks like a really good way to go see the birds , I noticed you guys had 2 different Male Mangrove Warblers because you had one with bands and without bands Fantastic video .
We definitely had a few different males and females! The habitat was good so the birds obliged
Your best videos are the ones like this. Keep them coming... Another great one!
We normally release adventure videos every Wednesday but this one’s a bonus :)
very cool
Thanks!
What a great vid, looks like you had the time of your life! I think that's the key to "away" birding: knowing a local birder willing to show you the fun spots
Definitely! Nothing like going with a local
You can also find Mangrove Warblers in South Florida, in the Keys. There’s a specific location where they are seeing somewhat reliably
That’s cool!
I learned about these guys after spotting my first yellow warbler. Several birding apps ID’d it as a mangrove warbler and it wasn’t until I looked into it further did I realize that they are different birds!
Interesting it defaulted to Mangrove!
We got to see a few while in Costa Rica on a boat trip, with incredibly rare Mangrove Hummingbirds.
That’s awesome! Didn’t even know those existed!
@@BadgerlandBirding The habitat they need is so specific, and with rising sea levels, the tropical mangrove rainforest environment they live in is shrinking. They prefer to feed on mangrove flowers.
Wonderful!! Is this your full time job? Wow!
Not yet, but trying to make it that way!
Great shots of that warbler. We saw it in Panamá and I could hardly believe it was the same species as the ones we get in Wisconsin. Ive got to get down to Texas some time!
I ❤ your videos
Really cool to see yellow warblers being adapted and changed to the mangrove
Awe man, you guys are killing me ! I just got done with the birding trip of a lifetime, 3 weeks ago. I’m still working my way through 30K photos, so I don’t have a lifer count yet… But I’m guessing close to 40 !
However, I did spend a day at South Padre and failed to get shots of Mangrove Warbler 😢 Might have glimpsed a female. But for me, it won’t count until I get an 8 out of 10 or better, shot of a male.
Also, I did get a Ringed Kingfisher…. But just an ID shot, branches In the way. So I still need him too.
I did get a bunch of pretty nice Green Kingfisher though 😉
Great video guys 🙂 TY 👍
30k photos???? Dang man! 🤣
@@BadgerlandBirding I know right ? Processing the 1 out of every 200 I’m going to actually keep is fun. Culling through all these is a freaking nightmare 😮😀 lol
A bonanza of birds. I really enjoyed this. Thanks, guys!
Thanks for watching!
What an awesome episode, are you suggesting the couch/toilet should become a single species? Then just when you thought it was over BOOM! Ringed Fishfinger
I am jealous.
Yeah!!!! South Texas!!! ❤️🙌😇🙏 🐦
Love the Valley!
Funny. I don’t have a whole lot of shore birds. I would love to get more this year. When is the best time to go and see the biggest variety in ohio?
Also, love the mangrove warbler!
Don’t know for sure about Ohio but where we live it’s usually the later part of spring and then the later part of summer when they start making their way back down south. When we were at biggest week we had a number of different species too including the stilts, dunlin, least sandpipers, and Wilson’s phalaropes.
I'm hoping you can help me. I am trying to find out what bird is singing outside my bedroom window. I'm in the midwest. Every morning around 6 am he sings. It's a beautiful song, but he has about 3. And I noticed that song he typically sings early. I can't think of how to type the sound on here. Now later in the day he makes a kinda "Dee Dee D D D D Dee" sound. Thats the best I can do, and I hope it's enough. Please help. I really wanna find this little guy but even when I look for him out my window, I can't see him and it's driving me insane. It just fascinates me that he sings every morning as if he's singing just for me cause its right out my window, and all 3 of his songs have a melody and rhythm. 🥺
So the dee dee is reminiscent of a Black-capped Chickadee but the most common bird singing at 3am would be the American Robin. Check out both and see if one of those fits
@@BadgerlandBirding I think you hit the nail on the head. I looked up some videos on the Black Capped Chickadee and that fast learned it has like 16 different calls and some of them I know for sure I have heard so I think thats it. Thank you so much! This little guy is a SERIOUS Songstress! LOL. He sings like he is showing off. ANd I'm like "Dude, you're the only one in the area that sounds this amazing who are you competing against?" But I am in love with this bird and can't wait to see him! Thanks again.
@@jenniferhalliwell416 What a brilliant story!
@@joshmaccallum-stewart2474 Thanks. It's true. He was out there singing this morning same time. You know what I think it is? I have a grape vine on my balcony. I suspect he eats from it.
@@BadgerlandBirding I finally saw the bird and he is brown, so it's not a chickadee. I think it's a Song Sparrow which might explain why he's on my balcony every morning in my grapevine. I read that grapes are their favorite food so it all lines up. I also suspect he has a little girlfriend now, so I am jealous.
