    The farthest west I've ever been is the Dallas/ Fort Worth area (long before an interest in tracking birds) so I watched to support the channel. However, I was happily surprised to see how many birds I'm used to seeing in the Mid-Atlantic region are more widespread that I would have guessed! Thank you yet again for such an educational and entertaining video, guys! Great job!

    What bird makes the sound at the very beginning? It's while the spotted towhee is on screen, but I have found no other videos of spotted towhees making that sound. Been trying to name that bird call for months!

      ​@@paigenicolej Yes, I meant the one at the very beginning that you can hear during the intro. I have looked up the towhee, and there are no other videos of it making that sound. The call is very prevalent where I live, but the bird itself is so elusive!

    Sorry I'm late but during the spring nearly every time I walk outside I always hear a bird call that goes something like Tee Tee teeteeteeteetee. I'm around the Seattle area and I'm wondering what the bird is. If you could tell me that would be great, thanks!
