Absolutely superb guys. Thank you and best wishes from 🇬🇧.

Thank you for putting this online. I cant believe the quality of bird resources that are on youtube

Hello to the white doggie

Excellent video

Woo! Birds are great! 😎👍

Great presentation, helpful for us up in Puget Sound

Thanks for sharing this ID talk - I love waders/shorebirds and it is always good to have some else’s take on how to name what you are seeing

I found a all black owl living in Pasadena, not sure if its the sooty owl or the black banded owl. All black with a few white tail feathers.

Watching this video was a delightful experience! These graceful seabirds are truly captivating in their natural habitat. Each tern's distinct markings and behavior add to the fascination. A perfect reminder of the beauty and diversity of our coastal ecosystems. 🌊🕊

You ever find yourself so deep in a rabbit hole that you end up at videos like this? Great stuff gang

Very helpful. I observed what I think was a slate colored junco in west/central Oregon exhibit some unique behavior and I’m wondering if you’ve ever heard of or seen this: the bird jumped on to a rock in the river (in a rapid, white water with a strong current) and then the bird completely submerged in the water for 2-3 seconds before walking back up on to the rock. If I hadn’t seen it with my eyes k wouldn’t have believed it possible for a bird that small to survive that. I saw that bird do it three times. The next morning I saw either the same bird, or another, engaged in the same behavior in the same spot.

Looking at the map at 8:40, it's amazing what became of that little pink strip along the Atlantic seaboard, the 13 colonies.

This video is excellent to help prepare for viewing breeding Jaegers. Thanks Los ANgeles Birders and Julian Hough

Flycatchers are delightful to photograph! New subscriber here ✨

wow, great information

This video is fantastic. I feel much more prepared for any Empids I might see after watching it. Many thanks for posting your talks online.

Why is there no RooM for Goshawks ( NG). NG can be observed in the sky as resident raptors. I have observed them from Carlsbad to the Mexican Border. Including Bakersfield. Talking California, in especially San Diego. Nelson Briefer- Anacortes.

This is wonderful. I was at the beach today in socal and was reminded how interesting our gulls are. Thank you. :)

why didnt they tak about hooded and bulocks orioles, wtf

Very helpful and nicely done.

Yes had long eared owls call high pitched, faint calls ~7am in NorCal (summer)

Amazing talk Ryan!!

Great documentary. I just want to make a slight correction. It's Talamanca Mountains of Costa Rica not Salamanca.

I think that the increased number of vagrants is exactly as listed in your slide i.e. all of the above: a much larger number of skilled birders hitting the known hot spots and migrant traps (and also finding new hot spots), and easier information sharing.

I’m far from an LA birder (being in Toronto) but this was an inspiring talk which I enjoyed immensely. Wish I could give it more than one thumbs up but thank you very much for making this available to a wider audience.

Hello LA Birders! I just wanted to say that I started watching your webinars recently on UA-cam. They are both educational and entertaining! I grew up in So. Calif but, unfortunately, was not a birder then. I currently live in Arizona and started birding 33 years ago and it's the best thing you can do in life! This presentation was amazing! What a fantastic year to choose to do a big year!!! The rare birds were astonishing! Being an e-bird reviewer makes one think of a serious person without much personality (although I know that job has to be serious but I'm sure they are all wonderful people as well), but Van was a hoot!!! I would never do a big year myself, and I know Van said he would never do another being so exhausting, but I'll bet it's a year he will never forget and never regret! Thank you for bringing these great webinars. I enjoy them so much that I became a member! I sure hope to meet some of you someday whenever I get back over to So. Cal!!!

Question: I am looking at the bar charts on eBird for Sagebrush Sparrow for Los Angeles County, and separately the bar charts for San Bernardino County. The LA County eBird entries i.e. the thin line at the bar graph ends somewhere around February 7th (the first of 4 bars) while the thin bar graph for San Bernardino County goes well past that, into the third quarter of March (the 21st?). I relaize that SBDO County is literally the largest county in the lower 48, so the late March birds on the graph may represent birds in different habitat far to the east of LA County. I assume that the much earlier departure of LA County Sagebrush Sparrows might be an artifact of less confirmed sightings--perhaps combined with the self-fulfilling prophecy of birders not bothering to look for them in LA County "because they are all gone after early February." I did listen to that part of the conversation at the end of the presentation, but would love to get more input...

I’ve read that magenta is a “non-spectral color” meaning there is no magenta light wave and it’s a combination of blue + red. I’m creating magenta chickens and curious about how this iridescence works. Seems to be thin film interference color spectrum.

I’d be curious to see some information about structural feather color under the moonlight light spectrum. It isn’t just darker but a different spectrum of light.

I just saw a flock of what most matches the Slate-Colored Junco in Harrisburg PA. The line that demarcates the dark top from the light bottom colors is a straight horizontal line. Plus they had white outer tail feathers visible only in flight. BUT they were not slate colored, they were dark brown with very little variation throughout. The brown color was so homogeneous that it was very hard to see the transition from the back to the wings while they were sitting still. I've not seen any pictures on the internet that looked like the same color.

Is there a way to get a copy of those side by side comparison pictures? Do you have any comparison pictures from the top view?

Thank you so much! I just came across this video and it's a wonderful help!

Hi

42:36 through 42:59. I misspoke here. Obviously these are Glaucous-wingeds as labeled on the slide, not Glaucous. :)

I participated in this project back in the late 90's and early 2000's. I sincerely enjoyed it and I got to go to parts of San Diego County many natives never knew existed.

Slate-colored Juncos of North and South Carolina breed in the Smokey Mountains and winter in the valleys. So Carolina Juncos are elevational migrants.

To confuse things, Slate-colored and Oregon Juncos can have white wing bars, say one out of a flock of eight Slate-coloreds I saw once.

Fantastic presentation. Thanks!

Very helpful.thank you so much

This is my favorite bird.

This is fantastic

Plastic insulation I think needs to be researched and banned it's billions of little pieces of plastic that constantly surround our birds it's made from resin which has lots of bpa/ bps seems like a good way ford to banning plastics

Jack (Jack Snipe) means small

Wrong title!

Another Eren sighting

Excellent presentation!

Nice!🐈‍⬛🐾🐈🐾

Can you recommend small trees for a small yard that I have 40x40. I live in a 9B zone Marysville Ca near Sacramento.

So disappointing to have jarring UA-cam ad interruptions ☹️
