Snake Gaiters - Protection From Snake Bites



After recent encounters with large venomous snakes I tried out some Snake Gaiters as I am often in high risk areas for snake bites while filming. They are light and collapse into an easily packable size taking up little space and adding little weight when you head out into Nature.

Picky Blue Jay Tries Peanuts 11 Times



Blue Jay tries five peanuts eleven times before picking one and only then because a Grackle was tired of waiting. He might have tried more than a dozen times otherwise.

Cedar Waxwing Feeding Frenzy



Cedar Waxwings feast on ripe Devil's Walking Stick berries in the Mountains of North Carolina in late October. One of the more stunning backyard birds. If you plant the right berry trees you can attract them by the dozens. A group of waxwings are collectively known as an "ear-full" and a "museum" of waxwings.

Columbian Ground Squirrel - Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Chipmunk Cheek Stuffing Style



Three examples of how a chipmunk stuffs it cheeks with peanuts. Its a very deliberative and serious affair for the most part as the little critter tries to fit it load just right and apparently moisten them with the tongue to make them easier to maneuver - and of course one last nut in the teeth to go. January 21st is Squirrel Appreciation Day so plan now to share some peanuts with your favorite Backyard squirrel species.

Raccoon Attacks Feral Cat



I was quite surprised to see a big male Raccoon chase down and attack a male feral cat on the trail camera in the "jungle" behind the Backyard. It looked and sounded bad for the cat as the Raccoon overtook it from behind. But how did the cat fare? 🔴 New HD videos uploaded weekly.

Great Blue Heron Sun Bath



A lot of great Blue Jay calls are a bonus! This Great Blue Heron spent the night high in a pine tree in the Backyard. Sleeping high in trees is much safer than sleeping on the ground where coyotes and bobcats etc. can get at them and also means they will catch the warm morning sun as soon as it rises for a healthy sun bath to start the day - this also provides some awesome lighting for video.

Beauty of the Common Grackle Bathing



One of the resident Grackles takes a rare extended bath and shows off its beauty and personality. There is a small group of Grackle families that make the Backyard woods their permanent home and they are a delight to have around. They will come and get peanuts I throw, but only after the Blue Jays have gotten their fill and moved on. On the other hand the Mourning Doves and Catbirds defer to the Grackles at the bath and wait until they are done.

Loggerhead Shrike Song



The sounds of a Loggerhead Shrike singing and a short discussion of this unique bird. The loggerhead shrike looks like just another songbird until you get a close look at the raptor like big curved beak and the fact that it spends its time perched like a bird of prey waiting for a victim. Despite its relatively diminutive size, the loggerhead shrike is a bird of prey as well as a songbird. Its nickname: the butcherbird.

Florida Scrub Jay #Shorts



The rare Florida Scrub Jay is the only bird species endemic to Florida and one of only 15 birds endemic to the United States. The Florida Scrub Jay is listed as a threatened under the endangered species act and rapid critical habitat loss continues. They live in oak scrub land with isolated pines and can not live in dense canopy so loss of habitat to development and growth of dense tree cover due to unnatural fire suppression shrinks suitable habitat. They live well behind backyard south in an open area with oak shrubs. They do not like the dense jungle behind the Backyard and since there is an infinite supply of small lizards and such they show no interest in feeders. Although in some parts of Florida they have been trained to eat peanuts in shell just like the ubiquitous blue jays. This jay is guarding its territory on a very windy day. 🔴 New HD videos uploaded weekly.
