Roseate Spoonbill #shorts



Roseate Spoonbill using its long spoon-like bill to find and eat tiny shrimp. That constant diet of shrimp is thought to be why they are pink. One of the most unusual birds in the US it is making a comeback in recent years. Trying out the new YouTube #shorts feature - let me know in the comments if you like this kind of short vertical content meant mostly for smartphones - they are a new way to share short Nature clips in between longer traditional horizontal videos.

Northern Flicker Woodpecker Mini-Documentary


Yellow Shafted Northern Flickers are woodpeckers that are not too keen on pecking wood - they spend most of their time pecking the earth! They prefer to dig for ants with their unique curved beak and sticky tongue so they are more commonly spotted pecking on the ground. Like all woodpeckers, Flickers nest in cavities in trees and are also some of the loudest "peckers" in the woodpecker family see these videos for example: https://youtu.be/GrEbH3MwHSA https://youtu.be/W8H03gd9Zd8 Filmed with Canon SX70HS on Amazon at: https://amzn.to/2QftDPd Commision Earned 🔴 New HD videos uploaded weekly.

Rose Breasted Grosbeaks Feast on Devil's Walking Stick Berries



Rose Breasted Grosbeaks and many other birds will feast on an early Autumn bounty of ripe dark purple berries of the Devil's Walking Stick. I have a nice large cluster of these amazing trees in the North Carolina Backyard. They are native plants and quite beneficial although they often establish in newly disturbed areas leading people to falsely believe they are some kind of exotic invasive, but no they are native plants and well known to the Cherokee (http://naeb.brit.org/uses/search/?str...). They would make a welcome addition to an eastern US Backyard and quite a conversation piece as they are rarely seen by people in the wild. Birds spread their seeds far and wide. Aralia spinosa, commonly called devil’s walking stick or Hercules club, gets its common name from the stout, sharp spines found on its leaf stalks, stems and branches. This is a large, upright, suckering, deciduous shrub that typically grows to 10-15’ tall, but infrequently grows as a small flat topped tree to as much as 35’ tall. In its native range in the eastern U.S., it is commonly found in wood margins, fields and pastures. It has interesting compound foliage, late summer flowers, juicy black fruit and spiny stems give this shrub distinctive and unique ornamental interest. Sparse, upright, mostly unbranched, club-like branches, ringed with conspicuous leaf scars and spines, are typically naked at the bottom but crowned at the top by umbrella-like canopies of huge compound leaves It has stiff branches at right angles and huge, compound leaves that are the largest in North America. New foliage is bronze changing from yellow to red-orange in the fall. This plant is easy to transplant and makes an excellent addition to a pollinator garden. The bark is gray-brown with persisting prickles and shallow furrows. Filmed with Canon SX70HS on Amazon at: https://amzn.to/2QftDPd Commision Earned 🔴 New HD videos uploaded weekly.

Old Faithful Geyser Eruption Attracts Ravens


Old Faithful Geyser eruption at Yellowstone National Park in HD from beginning to end is fascinating and awe inspiring, but what caught my eye was the small flock of ravens hanging around the pools formed by the waters of the famous geyser as it erupted. Watch closely and you'll see one take off and circle the geyser at near the peak of the eruption while others stand nearby below. They then drink the water after its cooled a bit. In between eruptions of course they work the crowds and patrol the grounds and parking lot looking for dropped food and then return for the next eruption. Corvids never fail to intrigue me.
