Florida Screech Owls Live!

Florida Screech Owls Live!

Screech Owl season has begun again! Perhaps a little bit ahead of schedule it appears the same female from last year has started roosting in the owl box during the day and courtship, hunting and feeding continues throughout the night. I have not found the roosting spot of the male in the nearby tree, they are extremely hard to find as they blend in with the tree. Once eggs are lain it will be roughly 26 days to hatch and 30 days to fledge. Typically eggs are not lain until later in February so we'll see. You can use the slider at the bottom of the video and go back and review the past 12 hours. 🔴 New HD videos uploaded weekly.

Squirrel and Blue Jay versus Hawk - Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Squirrel and Blue Jay versus Hawk

January 21st is National Squirrel Appreciation Day! A Red Shouldered Hawk is checking out the Backyard feeding area high in a long leaf pine tree, but the Blue Jays and Squirrels are having none of it. They work together to warn the Backyard birds and critters of both four-legged and flying predators and the squirrels are determined and fearless when it comes to getting hawks to move along.

Great Blue Herons Sleep in Trees

Great Blue Herons Sleep in Trees

Woke up to find this Great Blue Heron had spent the cold night high in a pine tree in the Backyard. Got a few pictures of it in the classic heat-conserving position of a bird ball standing on one leg, but by the time I got to the video it was waking up and warming in the morning sun. Sleeping high in trees is much safer than sleeping on the ground where coyotes and bobcats etc. could get at it and also means they will catch the warm morning sun as soon as it rises.

Robins in the High Mountains

Robins in the High Mountains

American Robins are considered one of the most common and widespread song birds in North America, but I was surprised to find them high in the Wind River Mountain Range of Wyoming hanging out at a glacier fed lake with the Clark Nutcrakers in late September. Makes for a very photogenic background for the Robin we usually see in our yards. Filmed with Canon SX70HS on Amazon at: https://amzn.to/2QftDPd Commision Earned 🔴 New HD videos uploaded weekly.

Bighorn Sheep Rams

Bighorn Sheep Rams

A bachelor flock of male Bighorn Sheep (rams) relax on a high vantage point in the Badlands National Park of South Dakota in early September. Soon some of them will face off in their trademark battles to determine breeding right. As we see in this film, Bighorn sheep groups protect themselves from predators by facing different directions allowing them to keep watch on their surroundings. It is during the mating season or "rut” that the rams join the female groups and engage in fierce competition to establish access rights to ewes. Their dominance hierarchy is based on age and size (including horn size), which usually prevents rams younger than seven years old from mating. Younger males will mate sooner if dominant rams in their group are killed. Mating competition involves two rams running toward one another at speeds around 40 miles (64 kilometers) an hour and clashing their curled horns, which produces a sound that can be heard a mile away. Most of the characteristic horn-clashing between rams occurs during the pre-rut period, although this behavior may occur to a limited extent throughout the year. Mature males spend most of their year in bachelor flocks apart from groups of females and young sheep. Young females generally remain in their mother's group (led by an older ewe) for life. All ewes are subordinate to even young rams with bigger horns. Males depart their mother's group around two to four years of age and join a group of rams. This is sometimes a tough time of wandering until the young rams find a male group, and they will sometimes take up with other species out of loneliness. https://www.nwf.org/Home/Educational-...

Northern Cardinals - Virtual Bird Watching

Northern Cardinals - Virtual Bird Watching

Young Cardinals are hard to find away from feeders in late summer when they tend to bide their time high in trees or in dense cover for safety as they learn the ropes of life without being fed by their parents. Here we find a pair of young Northern Cardinal siblings, male and female, and their mother hanging out high in a tree with a special vantage point from a nearby high deck overlooking the forest. Its always special to be at eye level with these gorgeous birds when they are not in the artificial feeder environment. You'll also see an immature male Rose-breasted Grosbeak a close relative of the cardinals.
