Cover the snipe next
My comment on the last video I watched was "everyone knows the great blue heron but I think you should do a video on Green Herons!" it feels like this was a response but I know this video was probably already made before i left that comment. How about Harris hawks for a video? They have a good call, not as screechy or harsh sounding as other related hawks.
Talk about the green heron (Butorides virescens) and the Eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis), please!!!!
problematic but go get you money i guess
Can you cover the crocodile monitor?
Theres a beautiful male blue heron that nests near my regular fishing spot. I love watching him fish and fly around. They will also try to take your fish from your leader 😆
When I was little i'd feed a snowy egret the blue gill that would inevitably turn up as bycatch when I was out bass fishing.
Just as an internet disclaimer: I don't recommend doing this. It causes the animals to become habituated and could lead to impatient fisher birds getting caught with a hook in the mouth. Gotta keep wild animals wild.
We have decent sized rookeries near us, so we see them all the time overhead. They are in my top favorites, for certain.
I caught an injured blue heron once, and when I was handing him to the rescue guy, it pecked his neck really quickly, and it instantly started dripping blood. I hadn't even considered something like that when I was holding it, and felt pretty lucky when it happened.
I hope the rescue guy is ok.
@@ripperonipepperoni9391 clearly he felt lucky to get rid of a rival rescue worker. Clearly.
It trusted you more than the rescue guy. Maybe next time (if it happens) let the heron know what is going to happen.
You need to be extremely careful helping herons. They can easily poke your eye out.
Please, i wanna see an episode about Road Runners
Same!
I 39th (👍🏽) that emotion .. 💯😁
Me too! Now that I saw a few on the road, I understand how interesting they are
YES!! I see these guys so often here in Southern Utah, and they are my absolute favorite native bird! (And that’s saying something, because the California Condor is native to Utah as well)
Meep Meep!
I'll always remember that early spring day when I was trout fishing and a Heron flew down and gracefully landed near me.
The patience, stillness, and oneness that a Great Blue has with the stream he/she is fishing in taught me to change my fishing method.
I used to work at a golf course. Every morning when I pulled up to hole 9 to rake the bunker by the lake there was a blue heron always there. I'd get about 10 feet away before it flew off tapping his wing tips on the water
I saw one great white heron near my workplace it looked tired and thirsty so i convinced my boss to leave water out for it in a secluded area so it can drink. It did and it flew away staying hydrated
No blue herons here in Germany, but I often see their cousins, grey herons, when driving to work 🥰
Same 👍🏻😁
Graureiher 💚
Purpurreiher und Seidenreiher seh ich auch oft ♥️
@@tacoknight5027 oh, die hab ich jetzt bei uns so noch nicht gesehen, dafür dann eher schon mal Störche :3
@@LunaBianca1805 Kann sein, dass die eher südlich verbreitet sind. Bin nämlich aus Österreich 😉😋
There is this heron that comes to this pond my gf walks by ever year and when she calls "Blue!" It looks her way and walks closer to her. It's so cute. Bluey the Heron.
I've been absolutely loving the World of Birds series, and this video is no exception! Great blues are some of the most common wading birds here in NC and I never get tired of watching them spear prey or soar overhead like pterodactyls. Great work guys!
Glad you are loving the series! Thanks for the awesome feedback, and small tidbit!
There's one that lives by my house. It doesn't mind me coming up close to it slowly, but hates it when I call it "stork". It just flies away.
These beautiful birds are always a sight to see! Herons are so underrated!
The Great Heron is one of my favorite birds! So happy to see them on here!!
Majestic birds! They're very common in my area of New York state ,along the Hudson River. I got to stop and watch one slowly walk across the road I was driving on. He was 20 feet away from my car and had no care as to making me wait lol
Blue herons are one of my favorite birds! I was walking with a friend at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens recently and she spotted several herons and egrets.
Herons are also the bane of frogs. Hop Pop, Sprig and Polly know it all too well... 😭
I would love a video on the Lyrebird! Their potential for mimicry is outstanding!!
I live on a pond, and just a few weeks ago I was literally terrified to see a blue herring eat a chipmunk. I had no idea they did that.
One of these decimated my grandmother's koi pond. . . Still gorgeous, though
Just like the Belted Kingfisher, I see these huge herons in a wide variety of waters in my area, even at golf course ponds. There's a protected island in my area that's accessible by vessel and a low lying sandbar. It is a nesting site for Great Blue Herons, along with other heron species, such as the Great Egret, Black-crowned Night Heron, Snowy Egret, and Yellow-crowned Night Heron.
I saw a few Great Blue Heron when I was visiting my family in Florida a few days ago. They're quite majestic up close
I’d love to see a video on cedar waxwings or pileated woodpeckers
I live in Florida. I'd like to see a video on a local bird: the Sandhill Crane. Holy Fire Alarms, their call is obnoxious!! And they are really arrogant. But, they are really beautiful. I enjoy seeing them throughout the neighborhood. I don't enjoy hearing them, though. :)
There is a great blue heron that hangs out at the pond outside my job, and I got to watch it catch and devour a snake one day while I was walking laps around the pond after lunch. I felt bad for the snake, but it fought until the bitter end. The back of it's body was still wrapped around the beak while the other half was already swallowed. I think it was the most metal thing I've ever seen in person, and I'm a metal head who has been to a whole lot of concerts. I also have a hand carved bust statue of a great blue heron in my kitchen. They are such cool birds!
I have a tree in my Lake and there are many trees and these birds made a nest in one of the trees and one of the nest was out in the open and directly outside my window so I witness the life cycle of them from eggs to babies to leaving the nest and a new flood came and made their nest and did the same
Flock not flood
I caught a glimpse of it once during a field trip many years ago.
When you say 'it' instead of 'one' it sound like it is like a single legendary Pokemon that sometimes people catch glimpses in the wild.
@@sailor5853 it's pretty wild I've never seen one out here in the desert 😂
I live near a wetland so I see blue herrons all the time. It's crazy how big they are. It doesn't look like they should be able to walk with legs that thin and a body so big, but they do!
About ten years ago there was a white great blue heron who's territory included a series of ponds near my house. I always loved going on walks and just watching him hunt for fish and trying to convince people that it was a white great blue heron and not a snowy egret which is also common.
Awww damn man nobodies gonna have that memory but you, that’s beautiful
Sparrowhawks would be a fun bird to talk about! Mainly because every time I bring up that Sparrowhawks are a bird, the person im talking to is always surprised
Will you guys make a video about hummingbirds? I've learned to gain their trust and feed them by hand!!!
Why don't you make the video then...
@@Thursday-ck7hx because I'm not a UA-cam channel that literally specializes in making bird videos? Go away
Tell that to the hummingbirds
@@Thursday-ck7hx what...?
Since you speak hummingbird tell them to go away
I gotta admit I wasn't too fond of the new presentators at first, I just missed Danielle any time it wasn't her.
Now I can say with confidence they have both grown on me so much, I love them all for their differences and their particular styles!!
Thank you so much to everyone involved behind producing these videos :)
I saw one once while i was down by the river at the edge of town. Very shy, I was at quite a distance and it still took off the moment it spotted me.
There was one of these that patrolled around my parents’ place in Fl, nicknamed Henrietta. I would fish for sunfish of the dock some mornings while I had coffee. Henrietta would appear and stand 5 feet away and wait for me to flip over the sunnies I would catch.
If we're going to talk about love here on World of Birds, can we talk about turtledoves?
and lovebirds
and mourning doves.
@@nasr7341 turtle doves and mourning doves are the same.
and what italy is doing to them, makes me so mad.
I spotted these 2D beauty's beneath Torrey Pines, on the beach, and another, 12 miles up Azusa canyon. They really look like a cut out, of themselves.
Slim Haron's.
We have one living in our backyard which is a channel connecting to the lake he's knows he's king here lol and so fo the ducks and birds or and the resident muskrat. His name is Bob he's like a dinosaur
One of the only inland great blue heron rookeries is in my home city. It’s so cool, we see these guys all the time.
The Stupidest “Fashion Trends” Always Result In (Near) Extinction For Animals😡
Some people never understood my taste for low hang pants 👍
Male peacocks that can’t even fly
Same with traditional medicine, ask a rhino
@@boobgoogler _cries in pangolin_
There's a blue heron that walks into the greenhouse I work at when we have the sides rolled up sometimes. No clue what he's looking for but I hope he finds it.
Imagine if giraffes used their necks like herons.
(Yeah, I know it's impossible, but still).
As I understand it, it's impossible because birds get to have as many neckbones as they want (herons have 20) but all mammals, even giraffes, are all locked in to 7 neckbones. (I just think that's neat)
That would look ridiculous. I love it.
i'm picturing a giraffe suddenly slamdunking its head into the ground to catch a gopher in its tunnel
I've come to love birds so much that I almost tear up while watching your videos in complete aw. How I would love to work with you one day
I am so routinely impressed with the cast of hosts we keep getting introduced to by this channel. There's not one I don't really like.
How many are we at now? Have you been counting? 😜
Hey, it's the bird that was my elementary school mascot even though the bird was all white and looked more like a Great White Heron but what do I know.
I would love to see a video on Cormorants! They are one of my favorites plus, where I work they come around a lot
AAAAHHHH SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS DROP!!
These tall bois live and nest in a park by where I live and they are so majestic!
The Spinosaurid of modern day!
So glad that I live in their range. They are truly magnificent to see in the wild.
These guys are super cool. We’re lucky to have a healthy population in our area, even though their communal nesting sites are super loud (but hilarious-sounding)
I've seen several of these throughout Michigan, majestic birds
I watched a Great Blue land at Lake Merritt in Oakland California and it was like a C 17 landing. Deliberately, no wasted motion, effortless, massive.
Here in Maine, many follow the tradition of calling herons "shitpokes". Do a search and you can find videos of them eating stuff as large as gophers. They just swallow them down whole. It's quite surprising.
The Purple Heron is almost the same bird and lives is Europe and Africa.
Almost the same bird...hmmm. All species within Ardea qualify as almost the same bird, but in terms of appearance I find the Great Blue look extremely similar to the European Grey species. But then you get the oddities of nature that are Ardea alba (Great White Egret) and the subspecies Ardea herodias occidentalis: they're both large white with an orange beak but live in pretty different ecosystems
The great white heron are ubiquitous across West Africa
The grey heron too
O.m.g., I mixed the two.
I also meant the Grey Heron, it's the most common Heron here.
...I need to go more outside. lol
Lucky to see these pretty often. Walking trail nearby goes right along a river, and they love to fish there
I love watching them chill in the canal where I live!
I see them everyday near the water at work! They really are the boss bird wherever they are. Really cool burbs
Now I know why blue feathers sold for a whopping 100 rupees a piece in skyward sword. Gotta make the lady hats
A great blue visited my father in law’s Koi pond and had a $300 snack ! They tried to shoo it away but it kept coming back. They did get some incredible pictures and learned to give the fish plenty of places to hide .
They are truly stunning birds, thank you for a very informative episode. I love all Corvids and would welcome any program that covers any of them.🖤🇨🇦
Love this show. Fan critiques; Should have mentioned night herons in here somewhere, as they are the rarer subspecies and could almost be their own show. Finally, the music, though cool, was a bit too frenetic and chaotic for this animal. I might have used it for like... fast flocks of birds or dashing schools of fish, not solitary shore striders.
Fashion, has always been a sick trade to be in. So many animals have died or lived horrible lives for fashion.
There are 2 herons at a spot that I go to. One has a gray-ish look, while the other is more blue than gray. They're very cool, beautiful animals!
A feathered T-Rex imo. I like to stay well back and give them a wiiiiide berth.
I always love seeing this bird on the levee next to my neighborhood. It sucks there’s a flooding wall being built around the bike roads I would view it.
Beautiful bird! The blue shark is considered to be the most handsome shark in the world. It must be the colour!
(GiGi's Animal World - Sharks for kids)
I saw one, I live in Arizona, a pond next to my house, on the rocks where water runs over, I saw it standing statuesque. I thought I was hallucinating, or someone pulled a prank, but it was real. Heron in the desert.
That sponsor just came in so smoothly 😭🤣
There's a pond in the woods by my house. When I was younger my father, brother and myself stocked it with blue gill and minnows. There was a hereon that would come there to hunt. I'd sit on the hill with binoculars and watch it for a long time. Good memories, better times.
I wonder of non avian dinosaurs had the same type of feathers…maybe the spinosaurs?!
Blue Herons nest in Golden Gate Park, in San Francisco. Thank you for teaching me more about these exquisite birds!
My Grandparents had a house by a lake in Florida. There was a stand of old pines in the backyard and a family of Great Blue Herons built a next way up in the middle of them. So much noise from the chicks. And the ground for about 20 feet in any direction was absolutely painted white with heron poop. Still very cool to see them from my Grandparent's back porch.
Great job, Aranya! The Great Blue Heron is a magnificent bird.🙌🏿😎
I suggest Goliath herons next!
Herons are amazing birds
I would love to see a video of a peacock!
I live in the SF Bay area and some of the herons around here hunt gophers. They'll camp at the burrow entrances then stab and eat the gophers that emerge.
Great nicknames for the Great Blue Heron! There was lots of good footage and information in here. Thanks for making this!
I'd love to see more information on the Turaco!!
I think you should do the Whooping Crane if you haven't already. I saw one single bird as a kid and haven't seen one since. I think they've recovered a little since then, but are still relatively rare.
I enjoy seeing a Blue while canoeing here in northern Illinois. One of the hardest birds to get close to to photo. Duck hunting early in the season, hunters will also put out a Heron decoy to show the ducks no one is around.
"It's not just a bird.It's a heron.A murderous predator that happens to love taste of flash."
When I was little one found himself in my backyard when my aunt was visiting. When she entered my backyard and saw him she thought we'd bought one of those cheesy garden decoration..until he moved and flew away ahah
I've been over 100 miles offshore fishing and have had several Great Blues fly over that far out. Even had a pair fly by about ten years ago. Always wondered where they were going.
"necky becky" xD
I see you Animalogic! On such a large map you still had PEI included! I love our great blue herons!
We have these all over here in Nebraska. Love these guys
Great episode love your enthusiasm and I love the great blue herons.
I rescued one of these beautiful birds. Some fisherman had cut his line and the poor thing had it wrapped around his lower bill and it held his mouth open. I think he understood I was trying to help. He sat so still as my sister held the wings close to his body and I cut and removed the lines. I got my sister out of the way and let him loose and he barley flew 5 feet away before he started hunting not concerned by us at all. Simply stunning birds.
My favorite birds!!
Some birds I would like for you guys to talk about is the rhea, the himalayan monal, or the quetzal
Herons are no joke. Not as bad as Cobra Chickens, but they are legit!
Whats a cobra chicken is that like the chicken hawk from looney tunes?
@@moboots Canadian Goose aka Cobra Chicken because they will hiss and launch at you like a cobra if you get too close
@@kylodon lol im canadian and i have never heard of them being called that
I think those are called geese
Very good video about blue Heron birds. And their life style.Thanks for sharing
Beautiful creature, really do love your easy going and very interesting videos, keep 'em comin' great channel ✌️✌️👍👍👏👏
These and egrets are my favorite waterfowl.
Black Crown Night Herons! I adore them 🖤
The edition on this one was fire! I loved
I was fortunate enough to canoe up to a heronry out in some wilderness in southern Indiana. What really struck me was the sounds. It felt prehistoric.
When I think about the herons, I think about it as a modern-day Austroraptor! It also reminds me of giant pterosaurs called Azhdarchids.
My last name is Heron, that is what Garza means in spanish. Anytime my family sees a heron we always go "hi cousin", I love it.
Its amazing to me to see an animal put so much energy and resources that they could be giving themselves to their young. I think it goes to show that there is more than a biological urge happening there but some kind of conscious want or desire. They risk and give up so much energy and resources to care for their eggs without getting anything in return.
There is video of a heron eating a rat so the snake would be plenty cautious about crossing paths with the bird!
I remember one of these flew into my backyard as a kid and shoved its beak into the ground and pulled out a gopher and just swallowed it whole
At 9:14, the breeding pair of Great Blue Herons appear to be sharing a tree with a courting Great Egret, its close relative. Given they share pretty much the same niche as well as being close relatives, wouldn't each species recognize the other as a competitor for territory and act accordingly?
Probably not worth getting injured.
Since herons tend to nest together anyway, probably not
@@heraboss5533 I guess there's not as much competition for food (fish & frogs are abundant) than with land predators, who generally don't put up with other species' presence.
We had two Blue Heron that would always stay in the creek behind our house when we were younger. They would constantly have trout hanging out of their mouth or wriggling in their throats.
Last week I was fishing at a local spillway and there was a blue heron there... he caught 4 trout and a crappie in 10 minutes. I recorded the whole thing haha. Bastard caught more fish than me...
