Thank you Damien, so glad you enjoyed. We'll be launching new in-the-field episodes from Cali, Colombia in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for those :)
I find them fun too Michael, but I can sort of understand why they're a headache for some birders. For me, there's nothing in birding quite like scanning a big group of waders hoping for an unusual one. Ditto on the bird group: I oscillate daily 🤣 Thanks for commenting, we hope you enjoyed the video and make sure to subscribe so you can be notified about all our new in-the-field content that's on the way, Chris
Thanks Santiago, we're glad you enjoyed the episode and learned something about bird migration. Jill is excellent at explaining clearly how interconnected conservation efforts need to be to protect migratory species.
The discussion of the evolution of migration was super interesting. I hadn't heard that explanation that Jill provided before. It definitely helped explain better how species like Kirtland's Warbler would evolve to migrate and be tied to a really specific habitat in the north. I never felt like the southern home hypothesis explained a species like that well. I think it's also interesting to think about how many times migration has evolved in birds; surely, it's a trait that has popped up independently several times across taxa. So I think that lends itself to the idea that there isn't just one singular hypothesis that explains how all migration evolved.
Thanks, Matthew. Absolutely, it was a really fascinating and enlightening discussion for us too, particularly the southern home hypothesis you mentioned. And I agree: it seems very probable that multiple hypotheses could explain migration since it's evolved in so many different places and in unique ways. Thank you for your contribution to the discussion, it's always interesting to hear from our followers on these topics 😁
Thank you so much Nathaniel, we all really appreciate comments like yours. We hope that growth comes too, make sure to subscribe and spread the word. New in-the-field episodes coming soon...
Agree with E-bird reports...sometimes I have a problem to put the list with the correct place/coordinates where I was... there are also bad people who take advantage of e-bird...(bird traffic...aggressive photographers for example) So then I put the region.... thank you for this Birders show
Absolutely Terry, eBird is an incredible tool for birders and scientists, but there are definitely some species that are vulnerable. Thankfully there are some filters for certain species where the exact location is automatically hidden as well, like Red Siskin or Black-and-chestnut Eagle in Colombia, for example. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Great Episode! For me the fun part about waders is that they can be very hard to identify, it's like a big puzzle. I can have hundreds, even thousands, of godwits for example in front of me and my telescope, and just sit there for an hour trying to find that one hudsonian godwit or a rare asian dowitcher.
Thanks for commenting! I [Chris] absolutely agree about waders, the challenge and effort is a big part of the appeal for me. And there's something quite meditative about gradually scanning a huge wader flock looking for the odd one out, it's like mindfulness for me. Appreciate the wader support haha
Well done as always!
Thank you Whitney, we really appreciate the support :)
GRACIAS!
As always faultless interesting and produced with a passion for birds.
Thanks so much, we really appreciate the kind words and support. Glad you enjoyed it and there's more in-the-field content coming soon...
thanks!
Great content and show as always!!

THANKS mate!
Shorebirds are fun! I don't know what my favorite bird group is, I love 'em all! Thanks for the video. Also I love ebirding, it's an awesome tool! 💯

😄 I'm not a shorebird expert myself. I am a subscriber & always look forward to the next one!
@@michaelhochstetler8483 THANKS for watching mate!
I didn't know about bird migration, and this episode is perfect to learn how important is to protect interconnected forests. Amazing!

eso santi!!
