Fish Crow Fledglings Fed By Parents



A Fish Crow family has lived behind the Backyard for the past 5 years or so and they are great bird neighbors and along with the extended family of Blue Jays are full-time residents. They stop by for a breakfast of shelled roasted peanuts and its always a blast when they start to bring their noisy fledglings out into the open for their introduction to Backyard society.

Downy Woodpecker - The Smallest Woodpecker in North America



Downy Woodpeckers are irresistible. This juvenile male Downy Woodpecker has red on his cap which mature adults don't have. This little guy is going to town on a dead Palmetto branch, but he is in the process of being run out of the Backyard perhaps by his dad as you'll see near the end. Time for this young fellow to find his own territory of which there is plenty in the Jungle behind the Backyard.

Squirrels Chill in the Heatwave - Personal Cooling Misting Fans



A personal mist fan is just the right squirrel-sized tool for cooling off while dining. The Backyard squirrels are such outgoing, adventurous souls that they will try anything - and this appears to be a hit by their reaction, however this they don't want to share, so may need a bigger one.

Squirrels Try Scotch Pancakes



I tried Scotch Pancakes or "Scottish" Pancakes for the first time and they were delicious. My Nephew and his Dad from Scotland visited the Backyard and made the pancakes for brunch. There was a wee bit of batter left over and the Backyard squirrels are rather adventurous foodies, so they made 4 small squirrel-sized pancakes for them to try and observe their reaction. React they did, and before long the 4 Scotch pancakes were just a memory. Filmed with Canon SX70HS on Amazon at: https://amzn.to/2QftDPd Commission Earned 🔴 New HD videos uploaded weekly.

How Squirrels Deal With a Heat Wave by Splooting 🐿️



Squirrels deal with the extreme hot temperatures and humidity of a heatwave by "chilling" out during the heat of the day to conserve energy and spread out their limbs in a process called splooting to maximize body contact with cooler moist wood, stone or metal that hasn't been heated by the direct sun yet they also pant as you see in this example and change position often to get a cooler spot. The constant calling of the Fish Crow family is not helping, they and all the birds are hot to, so provide clean fresh water for your Backyard birds and mammals especially now.

Eastern Towhee's Refreshing Mountain Spring Baths



Eastern Towhees are right up there with robins in enjoying a good vigorous soaking bird bath in the cold mountain spring of the Great Smoky Mountains. You want to bring more birds into your life, set up a water feature preferably with splashing and running water. Have any kind of little natural waterflow on your land just engineering it to contain some pools of water and there you go.

Eastern Wood Pewee Song



The eastern wood-pewee singing their sweet "pewee" song. It is a small olive-brown tyrant flycatcher that is hard to film as it hunts small insects from perches high in mostly deciduous trees. This is the first time I got one one singing on video and they were 40 feet high in the dense forest of the Great Smoky Mountains. They are not called Peewee's because they are small, but because their sweet high-pitched calls sound like peewee - crank up the volume to enjoy this sweet sound of the deep forest..
