Great presentation!
Cant hear a wird thru the stupid music ugh
These talks are SO INTERESTING, and it's wild how few views it's gotten
Love these videos!! I live in Berkeley and have always wanted to learn more about my beautiful neighbors ❤❤
Love this!! Just wrote a poem about double crested cormorants : The double-crested cormorant has tropical ocean eyes, that are so bright, and so clear, that you can touch the sandy bottom, that have seen things you wouldn’t believe, like high-jumping bass tossing their emerald-striped backs over the rising sun, and a catfish, that swims straight as an arrow, towards undeniable bait, and chomps down, gouging her lip, on a fate, that is surely fatal, as if she was a saint, testing the limit of her faith, by checking with her two cloudy eyes, if there is something perfectly still, and endlessly spacious, above the incessant, rush hour traffic. I too wish there was a way to visit the other shore, and become so self-assured in the end of all ends, that I would be forever, full of levity, and soar through this world like a superhero named wonder, whose only superpower is bearing the heavyweight of all change, like a double-crested cormorant, drying their soggy wings, on a sandy island, on ladybird lake, in the mid-winter sun.
great video, thanks for posting! currently pursuing my second degree in ecology and conservation. these lecture series are great to inspire curiosity about topics not offered at my uni
We're so happy to hear that!
Nice Owls

This was such a nice talk! we meet each other in Hawaii during a PSG meeting, but by that time I was really bad in my english so I couldn't talk with you very much about HEEG. You guys must go to Rasa with me! as a volunteer or just visiting, I go every year during breeding season. Please respond this comment if you're interested, I keep your presentation card so I can send you an email.
Hello Gabriela! Yes, we remember you well - you work with Dr. Velarde, correct? I am not exaggerating when I say that Byron and I have dreamt of visiting Rasa for over a decade. We would love, love, love to join you. Please do contact us! And thank you for watching, and for all the work you're doing with the Heermann's gulls!
Great video, thanks!
Thank you so much - beautifully done. Love you guys.
So cool to see and hear about your work Dr Natalia Ocampo-Peñuela 🐦 🇨🇴 🦜
Sorry I missed the live event! I enjoyed the presentation and forwarded it to all the other Heermanns! Thanks, Debby Heermann.
Thank you, Debby! I'm so pleased to have met you, and to share these awesome gulls with you. 🙂
Living in Felton! I've seen Hermit Thrushes a few times now in my backyard this fall, hoping there's a nest somewhere!
Do you know if there are any ravens in Northeast Ohio?
Ravens were extirpated from Ohio in the early 1900s, but a few have been spotted in more recent years!
Nice explained 👍🙏
Wonderful
Great captured New friend👍🔔
Contacted Alvaro by phone 3 times via his phone number listed on his website. Alvaro returned zero of those phone inquiries. I have a long standing personal rule of not doing business with anyone who is incapable of returning a phone call, however Alvaro was so highly recommended I persisted by sending an email. Alvaro did respond to the email, but was unwilling to chat by phone as it was more convenient for him to have me type out my questions for him to answer via email. As a a result of this back and forth I ended up booking a trip for my wife and myself. My wife and I both scheduled time off of work and booked an air B & B for our one vacation of 2022. Alvaro then notifies us 5 days prior to the trip departure that he doesn't have a boat available for his pelagic tour. He did offer 30% off of a future tour, but I don't know who would sign up for that hassle again. I then responded to Alvaros email about the possibility of taking another tour earlier in the 4 days while we have the lodging available to us. However, Alvaro was no were to be found. Despite stating he understands the difficulty this creates for his first time guests he apparently sent the email and then wasn't prepared to respond to his guests needs. I then tried to call him again after 3 hours as my wife and I were trying to figure out what to do and as one would expect Alvaro's voice mail box is full and can't take anymore messages. Fortunately for us this happened on a one day trip and the cost to us is 1,000$ in lodging. We had been planning on seeing how this trip went and were considering one of his international trips this winter and a trip to Hawaii in the spring. Considering Alvaro handled this so poorly we are happy we ran into this now rather than later. We will be looking into going on a pelagic with another reputable company in the near future, but I would recommend avoiding Alvaro's Adventures unless your looking for a hassle and loss of travel expenses. When this happens Alvaro won't be responding to your email inquiries or phone calls.
Excellent, very educational. Love your passion for nature.
Thank you for sharing your important work in this video!
This is so great to watch! People often forget about light pollution altogether and this is a great reminder of how far our reach,m even if with light, can affect birds!
Absolutely!
This is such a great talk filled with a plethora of good info about these bird interactions and how they can affect songbirds. Thank you for sharing and we will continue to share on our channels!
Thank you so much!!
