North Branch Nature Center connects people with environmental education, natural history, and citizen science. More than 10,000 people visit NBNC to be in touch with the sights, sounds, and sensations of the natural world. Our 28-acre preserve of forest and fields is nestled in a gentle bend of the North Branch of the Winooski River, just two miles from downtown Montpelier. NBNC is the delight in the eyes of children as they watch fireflies in a field. NBNC is a group of naturalists exploring the secrets of warblers and willows. And it's a quiet place to walk or ski, swim or sit, or simply relax beside the river. There is much to explore. Please join us.

AKA the MEEP 😂
Where is the gold found?
Very interesting presentation.
White crowns just arrived here--north of Burlington. Double the length of the song sparrow.
Nah he called the MEEP BIRB
Great video but sadly I don’t live in America (Australia), I enjoyed learning about them nonetheless!
Thanks for your informative presentation. Notes: 1. I see white crown sparrows in Alexandria, VA, in Fleet Industrial Park, along the railroad tracks. sometimes there are two of them. I see them all year long. 2. I use Peterson's Field Guide, Fifth Edition, 2002. 3. I feed the birds at the site commercial songbird seeds containing a large proportion of sunflower seeds. The feeding "station" is a large chunk of flat-topped asphalt. It is sequestered among evergreen and deciduous trees and bushes, with good overhead cover. I often see hawks circling. 4. The birds that arrive are, depending on time of year: Male and female towhees, male and female cardinals, male and female house finches, blue jays, a red-winged black bird, grackles, starlings, a red-bellied woodpecker, downy woodpeckers, doves, &c. 5. In the past, and hopefully as it warms: Rabbits, & chipmunks; squirrels are regulars. 5: Birds that have rarely shown: Cowbirds, black-birds that I've been unable to ID, and a large brown finch that I can't ID, and a wren (Carolina?). The Peterson has a large section on sparrows, but I don't have much luck using it to ID some of the sparrows.I enjoy the sparrows for their feistiness, the way they suddenly in, and out as suddenly, without any sudden stimulus. They love to drink from the water Steve and I provide, and lately, with the drier weather, the group dust-bathing. Occasionally there will be a brief spat between a couple of them.
I really appreciate the point on not disturbing the bird. However, I am wondering if shining a bright light at the bird, as seen in the video, is not disturbing them?
Thank you for this information!
Stop talking!
I love these birds!
What are you saying it says it in the caption. I was enjoying this video until I saw your comment. It has ruined my day and left a terrible thought in my head. Why would you ever say that. It says it in the caption. Please do not say something so idiotic again. Thank you
This guy has a lot of good information,,i just could not finish watching the video,,,,to bad hes really only talking to people in vermont.
Very nice, thank you. Generally helpful. Birding 40 years and sparrows are still sometimes challenging.
Cute as the dickens
We have laws that say livestock needs x amount of space. To put a wolf pack on a small island seems cruel. What do we hope to learn that we already haven't? Seems more of a tourist attraction. Given the habitat the wolves are placed in. Given starvation, inbreeding, and disease on island with limited resources. Proven too small for a wolf pack. So not only do we have moose starving and inbreeding we can have wolves doing it too. They can leave by death defying 15 mile swim or chance falling through ice bridge. Which 15 have died trying. Sounds cruel a.f. to put wolves on island with limited resources. Anywhere else in in the world on an island we try to limit animals from over populating and inbreeding. It is largely accepted that wolves arrived on Isle Royale by crossing an ice bridge that formed between the island and the Canadian mainland during the winter of 1948. Since this initial population of island wolves, the population has varied from 50 animals in 1980 to a low of two animals between 2016 and 2018. Wolf population variation is driven by the availability of its primary food source of older moose and calves, and the spread of canine diseases to the island. Furthermore, genetic inbreeding has led to physical deformities and has, at times, resulted in low productivity and survival. This is the new wolves fates.
American football or European football?
It's voice, walk and appearance are very funny. It is nature's best comedian.😂
Que lindo lo que hace el señor ❤
Evolution takes many curious steps.
Correction: GODS' creations are amazing
Here in Kent, England 🇬🇧 we call it the cute and cuddly lesser spotted feckwit. Reference the speed of the flight, they are the slowest flyers anywhere at five mph.
It's unfortunate local road names weren't given. The Hessian bridge was located at the end of Hackadam Road. Formerly Hackett Dam Rd.
I call 'em Disco Birds. LOVE 'EM!!!!!
Thank you! Great video
Nothing tastes better than Timberdoodle and Apple Struddle. 🙂
WHAT???!!! Surely not!!
Living with hepatitis B was the worst situation i've ever been in but finally tested negative today after using the herbal medication from DR OFENMU UA-cam CHANNEL.
This was a wonderful presentation! Sean is a great photographer and storyteller.
"Spending time with" sparrows is a great way to describe how to observe them. The feeling of intimidation that identifying sparrows presents to a new birder starts to melt away when you hang around these birds. Their charm is infectious, and the ease and enjoyment of watching them makes learning the finer points come naturally. With the exception of marsh and grassland species, they are often cooperative and not too off-put by our presence. They have a lot of personality, which becomes apparent as you get to know them better.
Thank you for posting this! I so enjoyed it live... now I can share it. He's such a gem. Yesterday I went out and bought Rodney's 2022 book Bird Brother
The bird landed right on my head!
You have got some healthy looking critters out there.
Great job! Thanks
Swiggity Swooty bird.
I was not expecting it to make that sound!
Wonderful presentation! Such an amazing life! Thank you so much for sharing!
Since a Woodcock lives primarily on the ground amongst the leaves, I believe their strange bounce is to mimic leaves fluttering in the breeze.
I always thought it was to create vibrations on the ground, like the rain, to encourage the worms to come out.
@@goldenfire5 that’s a great opinion and I never thought of it!
No. Disagreed
Thank makes sense
That's what I've always thought, too. I'm pretty sure you're right, because it deters predators.

This was fascinating!!! I can see this being a real industry. I know there’s a place in Canada that sells inoculated hazel trees. Unsure about whether they sell to US growers but worth looking into if you have high ph soil.
so "peent" means "im horny. competetors stay away."
fOOtbALLsIZED?
Brilliant!
Peeent! Peent! Peent!
**warbly whistley noises**
Das best bird 🥰🥰🥰
Nice sparrows for sure! The ones that ARE terrible is the House Sparrow, here in Canada anyway! They are an invasive species! If we feed them here, they take over your yard and feeder and no song birds birds come around! Lived here for 26 years, new neighbor moved in, put out a feeder in summer and that was it! Next thing ya know there were about 20 House Sparrows first day, then 40 the next! I talked to her, she did not know that and took down her feeder! But....they decided to nest in our big Spruce tree first time ever the last two years! Missed my song birds and watching warblers eating aphids in Aug. off other trees in my yard! House Sparrows do not allow other birds around at all! So glad all sparrows are not like these annoying ones! Great video!!
This is fantatstic! Thank you! Posted it on FB-- facebook.com/crtrwa
Great presentation. I learned so much. Thank you!!
I thought this video was going to be about eliminating English sparrows from the North American continent. They are an invasive species released by a bunch of Shakespeare enthusiasts a couple hundred years ago. They also released the European starlings. These birds have cause environmental catastrophe to native birds. Boy was I wrong. I had no idea there were so many different kinds of sparrows.
What park is this?
