Hi everyone-I made a few mistakes! Firstly, the bird pictured at slide #8, labelled as a Carolina Chickadee, is actually a Black-capped Chickadee, as I have been informed and then confirmed for myself (the calls are all correct though!). Second, the image on slide number #68 displays a Spotted Towhee, not an Eastern Towhee as it is labelled (again, the calls for this bird are correct!). Lastly, slide #28 shows the image of a Northern Flicker, which is the correct species; however, this species contains two subspecies: the yellow-shafted flicker of the east, and the red-shafted flicker of the west. The flicker shown is the red-shafted subspecies which would not occur in the east as is the theme of this video. That is all! If you notice any more mistakes in the video, please do not hesitate to let me know! We are a community of learning, and as such, we should not be afraid to offer constructive criticism for the good of another. Thank you all for your understanding!
I also think that 7:48 fits better for a Lincolns sparrow than a song sparrow- streaking is finer and black, the bird has yellowish tinge above the malar strip- also seems to have a buffish upper breast.
@@Revelationscreation Thanks for your input! Looking back, I realize that probably isn’t the best picture I could’ve used, but I do still believe it is a song sparrow. You could be right though! These species can be tricky to distinguish.
Love Crows and the Black Birds singing in the dead of night, like Paul McCartney sang out with joy, "all your life you were only waiting for these moments to be Free", Black Bird Fly..., Ruby Throated Sparrows near by
I live in western PA and have seen all but maybe 15 or so of these birds. Also about 25 yrs ago I rescued a peregrine falcon in downtown Pittsburgh. Found a baby laying on the sidewalk that had fallen out of its nest. I'm surprised it survived the fall and that no one had stepped on it. After contacting the right people it was placed back in the nest.
Having moved to Japan over 30 years ago, I was amazed at how many songs I recognized from the woods of western PA. Thank you for reminding me of those wonderful summer mornings and afternoons spent out hiking.
This was a lot of fun; I love to test my birdsong recognition skills. I am certain, though, that the bird pictured as number 8 is a Black-capped Chickadee, not a Carolina. Black-capped Chickadees have that olive color on their backs, white edges on the shoulder feathers and a slightly washed-out orange on the belly. Carolina Chickadees are more a uniform gray on the wings with a white belly.
Good eye! Thank you for pointing that out. I was scanning through a list of Carolina Chickadee pictures and didn’t think twice about the possibility of black caps being thrown in there when I saw that adorable photo.
I'm in the Wash DC area where I see Carolina Chickadees daily and the bellies are always white, never yellowish. My ear is not that good to distinguish but for #8 I'm upping my score for visual ID by one. : )
My wife and I were raised in Western Maryland and spent a lot of time in PA and Ohio. This video was a real walk down memory lane for us both. We got about 80% correct between us, maybe 50% from voice alone. I must say that some of the songs brought on a very emotional response - like the Wood Thrush. Thank you so much for your time and effort in compiling this. We will definitely listen numerous times more (as we now live in Tucson, AZ) and we miss hearing our Eastern birds.
I am from Baltimore County and have travelled extensively in Western Maryland and on the Delmarva Peninsula. I also summered in Maine. I got about 80% by sight and 20 % by song. I miss visiting Western MD, West Virginia, and Winchester, VA, and of course Delmarva. I am 76 yro and my Dodge Caravan is 21 yro. with only 150,000 miles. I only travel locally due to the age of my trusty Dodge. I brought back some Maine White pine from a dead mature tree and carved and painted 7 birds. The wood was as easy to carve as a bar of Ivory Soap. The first bird I carved and painted was a Loon that resided on China Lake, Maine.
The wood thrush is my favorite sound. I only hear them in the woods in summer on my hikes. They are shy and don’t come down from the treetops too often! I live in central Maryland. 🥰
Yes, it's emotional. I listened to this hoping I could find and identify the bird that makes my favorite sounds, and song and it's this Wood Thrush (23:18) and (I numbered them as they play) so, also # 17, the Song Sparrow (7:24) (which may not be the right name according to one viewer. Lincolns Sparrow?) Going to try looking them up or finding a compellation. When I hear it, I'm a young girl standing in the sunlit woods of upstate New York. Memories & pure happiness. Moved away from NY years ago and miss the birds and their singing so much it's painful. Birdsong is healing. ༄❥
I moved to Delaware from Texas a little over a year ago and am hearing all kinds of birds that I've never heard before! Thank you for this! It is helping me to identify the beautiful birds!❤
Wow !!! ❤❤🤗🤗🙂🙂 This list is the most comprehensive and quite lovely bird list/test I've seen yet. So many wonderful birds, with great audio, and lovely photos. Several birds I'm now able to identify because of this list. Glad to see so many of my favorite birds included: crows, ravens, grackles, cardinals, woodpeckers, etc. Thank you so much for posting !! 👍👍🥰🥰
This is such a good video! Thanks for sharing! In the spring I kept hearing the weirdest sounds from some bird in the yard. With your video I can confirm it was definitely the grey catbird. So fun to see where the bird sounds are coming from! Ps the loon sound is so freaky...
Thank you! I’m so glad it helped you figure out who’s been staying in your backyard! It really is fun to be able to identify the birds in your area-especially in the beginning when you’re making your first sightings!
I loved hearing the songs again, from the sweet high pitched Willow Tit to the deep crackle of the ravens!. Quite a few of these birds are in the Northwest also. I lived in Minnesota and saw the Red-winged Blackbirds, Orioles, cardinals, and my favorite the Loon whose song echoed over the lakes in the evenings. Lived in Washington state too with the crows and especially the loud ravens who were arrogant and made themselves seen roaming the parking lots looking for handouts. Love them all. Such a beautiful video in every way, I commend your attention to detail and perfect design.
Totally delightful! Thank you for all the time you took to put this together, I'm amazed at what I knew by sound, knew by sight and still missed some I'm not familiar with in my area! LOVE THIS!
This came up in my youtube feed, and I'm so glad it did!! I feel like this video is an early solstice present for me! Thank you so much! I'm going to use it as a tutorial and continue to study all these beautiful birds and their wonderful music. Thanks again!
Thank you! Your comment is a present in itself! I’ve always found that when I throw myself out in nature I come across so many joys I could not expect. I trek out to the woods with the expectation to observe the birds, but find many of them instead flitting over to observe me! It’s always the small ones especially, such as the chickadees and kinglets, and it’s ethereally precious to see their crumb-sized eyes scrutinise you in their tiny wiseness.
@@unipigstudios7794 I know just what you mean! They are quite intelligent and sentient! I wish more humans would recognize that! I had the great pleasure, when I lived back east, of having the chickadees eat out of my hand. It was truly a profound joy for me! Now that I'm back in California, I find I miss them! Brave little sweethearts that they are! (of course, many amazing birds here too!) Thank you again!!
Thank you for posting this! For years I'd hear a bird song a few weeks out of the summer in northern Wisconsin. Nobody knew the name of the bird that sang it. It haunted me! As soon as I heard # 30, I knew I found it. White throated Sparrow! Thank you!
The white-throated sparrow remains a mystery bird for so many people! His humble little doings in the underbrush of the woods combined with his rather simple appearance often leaves him unnoticed by many. I’m glad I could help you solve your little mystery!
Oh my ..... What a truly outstanding compilation...can't imagine all that went into this... I wrote down every # with what the bird was...and then how I'd identify it... It's a treasure trove...Thank you so very much....will watch over & over in months to come...
This was wonderful! I was not very good with song identification but did fairly well with sight. Im going to share with my bird nerd friends...thanks for taking the time to put this together!
Thank you for doing this. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and seeing each bird. I’m currently enjoying wrens, white-throated sparrows, and robins nesting nearby. The sounds are lovely. I will refer to this channel constantly. I got about 15 correct with sound alone and 70 correct with the photos. I don’t see such a variety of ducks and shorebirds around here, nor the colourful orioles, tanagers, martins, or bluebirds. It would be wonderful to see a yellow warbler, but I’m happy to see as many colourful finches as I do. Thanks for this channel.
Thank you for this video compilation. Last summer i heard at least 2 new bird sounds in my city neighborhood but never saw the birds making the sounds. Wish i had had this to attempt identification, as my ancient brain has not retained the sounds!
Love the way you put this together. I hear the White throated Sparrow #30 and the Woodcock #60 constantly here in Northern Ontario. And many more of the smaller birds I haven't identified yet... Thank-you!
Thank you for all of your work to create this wonderful birding guide. I grew up in Lancaster County but have lived in Colorado for the past 40 years. Some crossover in birds, seemingly more so in the last few years, but plenty of unique species too. Well done you.
So good! 52% by ear, another 24% with the picture, 24% unsure. Of the unsure I knew the bird family but not the proper name of half. Excellent test….please do another.
Thank you so much for putting this together! I moved to New York recently from South Dakota where I lived my whole life, and I am hearing a lot of bird songs I don’t recognize. This is great!
What a wonderful video! This is definitely a reference vid. And thanks for the numbered list. I found all my favorites. Either for their image or sound. 👍 excellent job. P.S. shared and subscribed.❤️
Thank you very much for your kind words! If you enjoyed this video, I just uploaded another video with a similar format. It’s about some of my favourite bird songs found in North America. God bless!
Thank you for putting this video together in perfect manner!! I love that I could test my knowledge of bird songs, then see your beautiful bird images! This will always be one of my favorite videos and reference ❤
This was fun!!!😊 i got 75 correct. I'm a bird lover and avid bird feeder. Some, we don't see where I have lived. I was disappointed in the recordings of two of my favs, the Rose-breasted Grossbeak which has a much more varried beautiful song, and the Baltimore Oriole. I used to be able to call the Orioles to my vicinity by whistling their sweet song. Also could call Cardinals and Chickadees, too. I live in a senior apt now and i miss my birds so much!
Thank you ever so much for putting this video together! I did know quite a few by sound alone, surprising myself! But I also need to learn quite a number! This is a fabulous teaching tool!
Fun video, thanks for putting it together. My ID score was 80 with about 20 by sound alone. I see hermit thrushes in the winter months here in Virginia and although I recognize the up-and-down tail motion as an ID I've not seen a hermit thrush with its tail straight up like the one pictured here. Thank you for including the Wood Thrush, love that! I was waiting for American Bittern. I've only seen one in the wild (actually, it was in a man-made wetland / containment pound around here). The sound of a bittern is quite something!
There were a couple I could name by sound alone. Blue jay, catbird, mourning dove, cardinal, mallard. I knew more than I expected to. Thanks for an interesting video. I really enjoyed it.
This is fun! Thanks! I haven't done it all yet, but will enjoy doing the rest at another time. Being a little rusty at the moment since I haven't been birding in quite some time, I didn't think I would do very well. I am not so familiar with Eastern as Western birds, having lived in the west all my life and done a great deal of birding in Arizona, California, Texas, etc. But out of the 40 I watched, I missed only 5 (a few I just couldn't think of the name, but knew the birds). A good many I knew simply by the song. So I felt pretty good that I remembered this many at my advanced age! I imagine many of the birds will be more difficult the farther along I get. A great video to learn from and practice with. (Good "armchair birding"! LOL).
Thank you for your time and effort for creating such a cool video. I normally only recognize these fowl to their calls as I eat them alive but now have 3 points of reference for each delicious species. My cat loved this video as well. Much Love!
Great video! I recognized just about half of them, but only a few, maybe 8-10 by song (mostly the easily recognizable ones like the Canada goose, mallard, red-winged blackbird, but I also have taken note of Carolina wrens song and the Easter Pe-wee). There were other. songs I recognized as hearing in my woods (western PA) and then recognized the common visitor from the picture. Bonus, the sounds are great soothers for my 4-month old twins to nap to. I will definitely be studying this video in the future!
Thank you! I’m glad you found the video useful. It’s very sweet to hear about your twins! Bird songs make for some of the most soothing music this world has to offer!
I really surprised myself at how many I knew, and I'm just a bird feeder birdwatcher (plus some commonly known). I got 56 by sight and 19 by sound. This a is a great reference. I'll be watching it again, several times.
I surprised myself. I could identify about 1/3 of the birds just by their calls. And I knew about another 1/3 by sight. This is a wonderfully useful video. Thank you.
Loved this. I surprised myself. I knew way more than I thought I would. Probably 60% on sound alone, and another 20-25% with sound plus image. 15-20% I missed.
Great compilation! I love that you played the vocalizations first. I scored about 90%. Was unfamiliar with 2 or 3, mixed up a couple of my wrens. That was fun, thanks!
There's a song by Bathory named Ring of Gold and I have been looking for the name of the bird that you can hear in the intro. It's the Common Loon! Thank you for this 💚
I loved this!! I could name quite a few by sound alone and then knew most by sight. I was surprised you didn't have the Sandhill Crane, I love hearing those when they return in the spring.
I’ve always loved birds but only recently became quite dedicated to birding. I have been seeking out areas to see different birds. I am fortunate to live in the beautiful Driftless Region & we have a wide variety of habitats within an hour drive. Just this afternoon I saw new birds: black & white warbler, cliff swallow, willow flycatcher, veery, and northern rough-winged swallow. I have seen over half on this list just in the last month! It has been very fun! I love being in & enjoying the beauty of nature
The first time I've been able to find both of these anywhere and I'm so happy! The Wood Thrush (23:18) and the Song Sparrow (7:24) have been my favorite for many years although I never knew what bird was singing until now!
I really enjoyed this video and seeing how many birds I could name. I live in Montreal, which is a bit more north than the Northeast US, so the birds here are a bit different, but many of the birds in this video occur where I live. I feel like I should work on identifying more bird sounds. Thank you for this video!
I am in Georgia, and I think we miss a few here. I recognized about 25% by sound, another 25% more or less (I knew it was a woodpecker but not which kind), about 25% by picture, and the last quarter was unknown. Specially warblers, oreoles etc I did not know. And I knew from several by sound it were water birds but needed the photo to put a name on them. Not so bad, specially since I am originally from Europe. I was pretty pleased, and I will check your video more often now that I can put a picture to the gazzilion tiny birds singing in the wasteland behind my yard! Thank you so much for this treasure!
This was Beautifully done! Wow. I guessed all but 11 by song and 6 I couldn't identify. I've been living in Florida for 30 years and only a small amount of these precious birds migrate this far south. So I think I did pretty well.❤ Thanks.
I so much enjoyed this! I was able to identify 84 birds and I was surprised at how many I recognized just by their songs. My weakness was some of the water birds, the mergansers, and some of the vireos and warblers.
Thank you so much! This was great fun and will be again in the future! Great idea! Very well carried out! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany!
Great video & fun test! Got 99 out 100. Thought the Woodcock was a Snipe. Id'ed about 75% by calls. Needed more gulls, warblers and sparrows. And no Sandhills?? (from Colorado) 🐦🦆🦅
Wonderful!! I am going to listen to this again and again, to help with the birds I did NOT know. I love that you include several calls for many of the birds. So helpful!
I absolutely love this video! It was so fun and informative! I got about 98% of the visual identification. Think about 30% of sound identification. I will be watching this again! Great way to test and enhance your bird identification knowledge! Thanks for sharing!
That WAS a lot of fun! I think about 15% were unknown to me. Some I've seen but not heard. Others, I've heard, but not seen. One of my favorite calls is the hermit thrush. I'd hear it in the summer growing up, but I never knew what is was. My favorite category is the thrush family. They all have beautiful songs. I used to hear that grouse trying to start its motor flowed later by the sound of an ax. I learned why that chainsaw never started but I couldn't figure out what made the axsound, but it wasn't an ax. One of the creepiest was the Loon; especially at night in the dark. It was like being in a jungle when camping. Anyway, thanks again for a fun time, and an opportunity to learn.
It sounds like you have some very fond memories with the birds; thank you for sharing! I’ve longed to hear a hermit thrush sing in person, however I’ve only had the chance to observe him in the quietude of his winter grounds here in southern PA. The grouse aren’t so common here as they used to be-it must have been splendid fun to learn the truth about that conking out motor. I seldom see loons, but when I do it’s during migration when they stay for a rest on our vast, open lakes. Have a wonderful day!
Oh, but I did include it! It’s #39 in the video. Yes, what sweet mystery he must evoke when his song sweeps the forest! I heard recently a veery sing by the lake in our easterly woods and, my, how ethereal it sounds when it echoes on the water!
Coming from a 15 year wildlife photographer, these images are stunning! Look closely, these are not your average pocket ID book thumbnails. The compositions make them art! Well done!
That was a wonderful birding refresher. You used some very good pictures, thank you for taking the time to find good ones. I will definitely be re-watching to learn the bird song better as that is my weakness. Thanks!
Thank you for putting this together. It's really great, and I'll share it with my birder and non-birder friends. I used it as a "test" for fun and learning. The last twenty were definitely more difficult than the first twenty! I live out west now, so this was also a trip down memory lane for many species.
Hi everyone-I made a few mistakes! Firstly, the bird pictured at slide #8, labelled as a Carolina Chickadee, is actually a Black-capped Chickadee, as I have been informed and then confirmed for myself (the calls are all correct though!). Second, the image on slide number #68 displays a Spotted Towhee, not an Eastern Towhee as it is labelled (again, the calls for this bird are correct!). Lastly, slide #28 shows the image of a Northern Flicker, which is the correct species; however, this species contains two subspecies: the yellow-shafted flicker of the east, and the red-shafted flicker of the west. The flicker shown is the red-shafted subspecies which would not occur in the east as is the theme of this video. That is all! If you notice any more mistakes in the video, please do not hesitate to let me know! We are a community of learning, and as such, we should not be afraid to offer constructive criticism for the good of another. Thank you all for your understanding!

Thanks for updating your image information. And indeed, it is a learning process.
I also think that 7:48 fits better for a Lincolns sparrow than a song sparrow- streaking is finer and black, the bird has yellowish tinge above the malar strip- also seems to have a buffish upper breast.
@@Revelationscreation Thanks for your input! Looking back, I realize that probably isn’t the best picture I could’ve used, but I do still believe it is a song sparrow. You could be right though! These species can be tricky to distinguish.
i love how in so many of these you can hear some crows cawing in the background
Jerma pfp spotted
Love Crows and the Black Birds singing in the dead of night, like Paul McCartney sang out with joy, "all your life you were only waiting for these moments to be Free", Black Bird Fly..., Ruby Throated Sparrows near by
76% audio recognition. 100% visual. A House Wren was my alarm clock during the Spring and most of the summer for 5 years.
Birds complete the mornings around here that way
The sound of the mourning dove flying away😂I always try to tell them, "It's okay, you can stay right there, you don't have to -.......oh well."
This was incredible. Thank you for putting this together.

I love and appreciate this as a novice birder! Thank you for putting this together.
Thank you for this! There is a Carolina Chickadee that sings outside my door every day and I've never known until now what it was finally called!!
And they are loud. Pay attention, the males sometimes sing and a female has a trill of an answer to his phrase.
Great job! Appreciate all the hard work that went into the video.❤️

Wow, This is amazing. Had to take days to put together, Thank you!
Thank you! This was really neat. I enjoyed it very much. Only got a few right, but the features and sounds of the various birds are amazing!
Oh my ..... What a truly outstanding compilation...can't imagine all that went into
this... I wrote down every # with what the bird was...and then how I'd identify it...
It's a treasure trove...Thank you so very much....will watch over & over in months
to come...
We recognized several but, enjoyed learning about so many new ones. Thank you for sharing

Thank you very much for your kind words! If you enjoyed this video, I just uploaded another video with a similar format. It’s about some of my favourite bird songs found in North America. God bless!
Subscribed and saved this video to my favorites! Thank you.
Thank you for the great job you did on this video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for putting this video together in perfect manner!! I love that I could test my knowledge of bird songs, then see your beautiful bird images! This will always be one of my favorite videos and reference ❤
I love this! I hear so many of these around our property. A few of them are regulars at our birdfeeders. We love hearing the barred owls at night.
Thank you! Wonderful work.
This was fun!!!😊 i got 75 correct. I'm a bird lover and avid bird feeder. Some, we don't see where I have lived. I was disappointed in the recordings of two of my favs, the Rose-breasted Grossbeak which has a much more varried beautiful song, and the Baltimore Oriole. I used to be able to call the Orioles to my vicinity by whistling their sweet song. Also could call Cardinals and Chickadees, too. I live in a senior apt now and i miss my birds so much!
We have a lot of these in our yard in TN! I have heard many of these, although i didn’t know some of their names! Good to match a voice with a face!
Thank you ever so much for putting this video together! I did know quite a few by sound alone, surprising myself! But I also need to learn quite a number!
This is a fabulous teaching tool!
Fun video, thanks for putting it together. My ID score was 80 with about 20 by sound alone. I see hermit thrushes in the winter months here in Virginia and although I recognize the up-and-down tail motion as an ID I've not seen a hermit thrush with its tail straight up like the one pictured here. Thank you for including the Wood Thrush, love that! I was waiting for American Bittern. I've only seen one in the wild (actually, it was in a man-made wetland / containment pound around here). The sound of a bittern is quite something!
There were a couple I could name by sound alone. Blue jay, catbird, mourning dove, cardinal, mallard. I knew more than I expected to. Thanks for an interesting video. I really enjoyed it.
Surprised myself! Knew more than I thought! A lot I didn’t know. So beautiful!
This is fun! Thanks! I haven't done it all yet, but will enjoy doing the rest at another time. Being a little rusty at the moment since I haven't been birding in quite some time, I didn't think I would do very well. I am not so familiar with Eastern as Western birds, having lived in the west all my life and done a great deal of birding in Arizona, California, Texas, etc. But out of the 40 I watched, I missed only 5 (a few I just couldn't think of the name, but knew the birds). A good many I knew simply by the song. So I felt pretty good that I remembered this many at my advanced age! I imagine many of the birds will be more difficult the farther along I get. A great video to learn from and practice with. (Good "armchair birding"! LOL).
This is absolutely a beautiful presentation and great learning material! Thank you so much for this!!
Thank you for your time and effort for creating such a cool video. I normally only recognize these fowl to their calls as I eat them alive but now have 3 points of reference for each delicious species. My cat loved this video as well. Much Love!
This was sooo fun. I could name by photo nearly all the birds but recognized only about half their songs. Thank!
Great video! I recognized just about half of them, but only a few, maybe 8-10 by song (mostly the easily recognizable ones like the Canada goose, mallard, red-winged blackbird, but I also have taken note of Carolina wrens song and the Easter Pe-wee). There were other. songs I recognized as hearing in my woods (western PA) and then recognized the common visitor from the picture. Bonus, the sounds are great soothers for my 4-month old twins to nap to. I will definitely be studying this video in the future!
Thank you! I’m glad you found the video useful. It’s very sweet to hear about your twins! Bird songs make for some of the most soothing music this world has to offer!
I really surprised myself at how many I knew, and I'm just a bird feeder birdwatcher (plus some commonly known). I got 56 by sight and 19 by sound. This a is a great reference. I'll be watching it again, several times.
I surprised myself. I could identify about 1/3 of the birds just by their calls. And I knew about another 1/3 by sight. This is a wonderfully useful video. Thank you.
Thank you! Great job! So nicely composed.
You’re adorable that’s who! I have a young pair of dove picking their first nest - on my back porch. Guess we’ll be sharing this spring💕
Loved this. I surprised myself. I knew way more than I thought I would. Probably 60% on sound alone, and another 20-25% with sound plus image. 15-20% I missed.
Great compilation! I love that you played the vocalizations first. I scored about 90%. Was unfamiliar with 2 or 3, mixed up a couple of my wrens. That was fun, thanks!
thank you now I know that the birds at my feeder are not sparrows but finches
thanks so much, I enjoy that greatly. It was put together in such a way as to make it fun to first listen then view
There's a song by Bathory named Ring of Gold and I have been looking for the name of the bird that you can hear in the intro. It's the Common Loon! Thank you for this 💚
this was very good, i knew most of them by image and a lot by sound but didnt keep count
I loved this!! I could name quite a few by sound alone and then knew most by sight. I was surprised you didn't have the Sandhill Crane, I love hearing those when they return in the spring.
Do we have sandhill cranes in the N.E. U.S.?
@@kimberlyhughes4515 I live in Michigan and always considered that NE.
Only got about 10 of them right just by the sound but I got about 80 of them right when I saw the picture. This is so exciting and fun ❤ Thank You !
excellent photos !
I’ve always loved birds but only recently became quite dedicated to birding. I have been seeking out areas to see different birds. I am fortunate to live in the beautiful Driftless Region & we have a wide variety of habitats within an hour drive.
Just this afternoon I saw new birds: black & white warbler, cliff swallow, willow flycatcher, veery, and northern rough-winged swallow. I have seen over half on this list just in the last month! It has been very fun! I love being in & enjoying the beauty of nature
Thank you for these bird sounds. I am going to learn to speak Song Sparrow so I can talk to my favorite birds in the yard. Yay!!!
The first time I've been able to find both of these anywhere and I'm so happy! The Wood Thrush (23:18) and the Song Sparrow (7:24) have been my favorite for many years although I never knew what bird was singing until now!
I really enjoyed this video and seeing how many birds I could name.
I live in Montreal, which is a bit more north than the Northeast US, so the birds here are a bit different, but many of the birds in this video occur where I live.
I feel like I should work on identifying more bird sounds.
Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much! This must have taken forever! I appreciate you. ❤
Shocked how many birds I know!! Loved this. Love all the birds!
Thank you so very much for taking your time to do this🎈🦋 I am trying to learn birds names🎉🎈
I like how the house sparrow one gets more chaotic as it goes on.
Fun test! I had a hard time with several of the shore and water birds, but aced the songbirds!
Thanks a million for this valuable educational video.
Thank you for your kind words; they mean a lot to me!
I am in Georgia, and I think we miss a few here. I recognized about 25% by sound, another 25% more or less (I knew it was a woodpecker but not which kind), about 25% by picture, and the last quarter was unknown. Specially warblers, oreoles etc I did not know. And I knew from several by sound it were water birds but needed the photo to put a name on them. Not so bad, specially since I am originally from Europe. I was pretty pleased, and I will check your video more often now that I can put a picture to the gazzilion tiny birds singing in the wasteland behind my yard! Thank you so much for this treasure!
This video was like when my grandma would take me birding with her and taught all the different birds and their calls. Thank for the wonderful memory.
Thank you for the time & energy bringing these songsters to us 👍 74+ 🍁 Manitoba hunter provider
Thankyou for this, its wonderful!! Some of these birds we have where i live in Canada but not all, so it was great to hear other birds!!
This was Beautifully done! Wow. I guessed all but 11 by song and 6 I couldn't identify. I've been living in Florida for 30 years and only a small amount of these precious birds migrate this far south. So I think I did pretty well.❤ Thanks.
I so much enjoyed this! I was able to identify 84 birds and I was surprised at how many I recognized just by their songs. My weakness was some of the water birds, the mergansers, and some of the vireos and warblers.
Impressive
Well put together Anig! Inspirational!
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! This was great fun and will be again in the future! Great idea! Very well carried out! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany!
Great video & fun test! Got 99 out 100. Thought the Woodcock was a Snipe. Id'ed about 75% by calls. Needed more gulls, warblers and sparrows. And no Sandhills??

Wonderful!! I am going to listen to this again and again, to help with the birds I did NOT know. I love that you include several calls for many of the birds. So helpful!
Thank you for producing this video. Listening to our flying friends is the highlight of my mornings.
Since moving to PA I've developed an appreciation for birds. Am always whipping out my Merlin bird ID app
I absolutely love this video! It was so fun and informative! I got about 98% of the visual identification. Think about 30% of sound identification. I will be watching this again! Great way to test and enhance your bird identification knowledge! Thanks for sharing!
That WAS a lot of fun! I think about 15% were unknown to me. Some I've seen but not heard. Others, I've heard, but not seen. One of my favorite calls is the hermit thrush. I'd hear it in the summer growing up, but I never knew what is was.
My favorite category is the thrush family. They all have beautiful songs.
I used to hear that grouse trying to start its motor flowed later by the sound of an ax. I learned why that chainsaw never started but I couldn't figure out what made the axsound, but it wasn't an ax.
One of the creepiest was the Loon; especially at night in the dark. It was like being in a jungle when camping.
Anyway, thanks again for a fun time, and an opportunity to learn.
It sounds like you have some very fond memories with the birds; thank you for sharing! I’ve longed to hear a hermit thrush sing in person, however I’ve only had the chance to observe him in the quietude of his winter grounds here in southern PA. The grouse aren’t so common here as they used to be-it must have been splendid fun to learn the truth about that conking out motor. I seldom see loons, but when I do it’s during migration when they stay for a rest on our vast, open lakes. Have a wonderful day!
@@unipigstudios7794 Are you saying you've never heard a hermit thrush sing? No wonder you didn't include it. It's eerily beautiful.
Oh, but I did include it! It’s #39 in the video. Yes, what sweet mystery he must evoke when his song sweeps the forest! I heard recently a veery sing by the lake in our easterly woods and, my, how ethereal it sounds when it echoes on the water!
TREMENDOUS resource! Thanks SO much for putting this together.
Did I miss cardinal and blue jay?
I enjoyed this thoroughly ☺️🎶.
Great work 🌼🌼🕊️
Wow! This is so well done. Beautiful photos, helpful labels, and fun way to roll it out (e.g. sound, photo, identification). Thak you for sharing!
What a fun video! Excellent recordings! The photos are great, too!
Coming from a 15 year wildlife photographer, these images are stunning! Look closely, these are not your average pocket ID book thumbnails. The compositions make them art! Well done!
I really enjoyed the birds and sounds which I hear every morning I can't wait to go in my backyard it's a show .🤗
That was a wonderful birding refresher. You used some very good pictures, thank you for taking the time to find good ones. I will definitely be re-watching to learn the bird song better as that is my weakness. Thanks!
Wow what a great compilation! Thank you so much for putting so much time into this. Great resource.
Thank you for putting this together. It's really great, and I'll share it with my birder and non-birder friends. I used it as a "test" for fun and learning. The last twenty were definitely more difficult than the first twenty! I live out west now, so this was also a trip down memory lane for many species.
Great video! Thank you for posting. Have to bookmark this one.
I had so much fun doing this test! could only get a few by sound, but got almost all by sight. Happy birding!
Excellent idea. Very helpful. Thank you.
