Ultimate Blue Jay Squeaky Gate Call


Finally, after hearing this call ring through the mountains of North Carolina all these years I captured clear video of a Blue Jay making their legendary squeaky gate, rusty pump handle or rusty swing set or close line call – if you have blue jays you know what I mean. What is interesting is I have a lot of blue jays in Florida and I have never heard this call in there before. This is late April 2024 when Jay family groups should be broken up into mating pairs and going low profile to raise their broods so I'm not sure what's going on here with four Jays high in the top of a newly blooming tree – 3 of them patiently listening and watching. By the time I got my camera on a tripod and found the right blue jay to focus on it had been calling continuously for 5 minutes and continued calling for 5 more minutes. So 10 minutes of continuous squeaky gate call delivered with full body involvement – which looks kind of exhausting. You can also hear some blue jays in the distance also making the pump handle call. This particular call probably travels the greatest distance in the valley. 🔴 New HD videos uploaded weekly.

Landlubber Herons Stalk Hayfield


A small flock of Little Blue Herons quickly and methodically forages through the field for insects. Little Blue Herons are not endangered or uncommon, but are listed as threatened by the State of Florida. They are the least likely heron or egret I have encountered over the years and rarely seen foraging in flocks as they almost always forage alone. The little blue heron can be found in freshwater, salt and brackish water environments. These include mangrove forests, bogs, swamps, salt marshes, tidal flats, estuaries, streams, lakes and flooded fields, but rarely hay fields. In North America, they tend to favor freshwater habitats, while in the Caribbean, they are more often found in saltwater.

Beautiful Boat Tailed Grackle



Campark TC06 4k 60MP Wifi Dual Lens Trail Camera With Color Night Vision


The subtle beauty of a male Boat Tailed Grackle preening after a morning bath on the prairie. This handsome male Boat-Tailed Grackle has just taken a bath in a Prairie watering hole where cattle graze in the interior of Central Florida. Now its time to dry in the sun and preen his beautiful feathers. If you have only seen them in the cities you are in for a treat. Boat Tailed Grackles are actually quite stunning and intelligent birds when seen out in their natural wild habitat in the morning sun. Their feathers constantly change colors and shimmer blue, green and purple. They are primarily a bird of the southeast coastal areas and prefer marshes and wetlands. In the Florida peninsula they are found inland often associated with large cattle grazing areas. These birds forage on the ground, in shallow water, or in shrubs. They are omnivorous, eating insects, minnows, frogs, eggs, berries, seeds, and grain. Grackles have established significant populations in Gulf and Atlantic Coast cities and towns where they can be found foraging in trash bins, dumpsters, and parking lots. But most of the grackles you see in cities are the smaller common grackles. Boat Tails are considerably larger with their huge, long boat tails. In interior Florida and the Gulf Coast their eyes are usually dark like this fellows – along the Atlantic coast the eyes are often yellow.
