Painted Buntings Bathing in Slow Motion
Birds love Backyard bird baths and Painted Buntings are no exception and in this case they had the birdbath all to themselves after a Blue Jay gets a drink. To attract smaller birds like Buntings its best to use smaller birdbaths that aren't too deep - this planter base is the perfect size and depth.

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.

Young Northern Cardinal
This plucky young female Northern Cardinal is out and about on her own and making a pretty good account of herself at the plank feeder. Filmed in late summer - it would be a few more months before she transitions to the plumage of an adult cardinal, but the beak is already well on its way from turning very dark to bright orange.

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:

Bobolinks in the Prairie
\
Female and young Bobolinks filmed at the Valentine National Wildlife Refuge in Nebraska on a very windy day. If you look closely you can see they are feeding on the seed stalks of the prairie grass. They are hard to see in the prairie and pretty hard to film, but a new species on video.

This beautiful film shows a red squirrel stocking up on walnuts and hickory nuts for winter as the autumn leaves fall on the forest floor in the Great Smoky Mountains. Maybe Winter 2020-2021 will be a bad one, but squirrels are always ready.

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.

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.
