  • These 4 birds make alarm calls for foxes, but each has their own unique way of expressing fear, surprise, and the instinct to survive. Foxes are so much easier to study and observe when you combine knowledge of bird language with tracking the signs of foxes like scats & dens. Let's explore some common relationships between foxes and birds in the complex interplay of grasslands and forest habitats.

    He explains the content so clear that he transports right to where the description is taking place without watching the video. Closing my eyes while listening to the narration without issues wondering what he means. Obvious expertise! Beautifully done.

    Really fascinating! Your videos are so informative, and also unique-- I know of no other videos on youtube that explain the behavior of wildlife as you do. Thanks so much for this!

    I love this! The cinematography, your insightful and coherent information, all delightful. I suggest smoothing out some of the cuts and honestly a short tangent about something funny/ interesting could also add some fun and personality (not that personality is lacking in any way). When you go over each of the birds calls it’s so smooth and fun! More bits and cutaway tangents, otherwise this is just wonderful

      Thank you so much for this helpful feedback! I will definitely work on incorporating these things into my videos. I'm kinda figuring it all out as I go so it's super helpful to have that outside perspective on where I should focus to make improvements. Thanks!

    Ok if I’m off base tell me but this is just OOZING Adam Ragusea! The shot composition and the cuts from voice over to directly talking to the camera, all fantastic and all very Adam.

    I see a good amount of dens and often wonder if they are fox or coyote. I also wonder if they are empty or occupied! Maybe a future video on that? Love the channel. Thank you!

    • @NatureMentor
      @NatureMentor  7 месяцев назад

      Yes! I'm planning to include a bit of den analysis in an upcoming video, but I certainly could do more on this too. Thanks for the suggestion!
      One thing to consider... there's not much overlap between coyote and fox territories. I've even heard that coyotes will kill foxes on sight/smell. So if you know which canid is most common in the area of the den, that could give some good hints for the first part of your question. Have fun out there!

    I live in the Sierra Nevada foothills and the Scrub Jays, Acorn Woodpeckers and Oak Titmouse always let me know when there is a rattlesnake around.

    Birds will call out alarms for all sorts of predators and non predators as well.

  • @joanakubiak3953

    What are some examples of birds/sparrows giving silent alarms?

    • @NatureMentor
      @NatureMentor  9 месяцев назад +1

      As the animal moves into an area with birds, you'll see them flying up or away, then turning back around and looking at the animal, but without making noise. Sparrows will sometimes follow the fox a little bit, but it's a very low urgency alarm behavior. Often they'll flip their tails or rub their beaks, but sometimes it's just an overall alertness posture. It's a fairly common response to foxes, deer and humans. Does that answer your question?

    foxes and coyotes both scavenge more than they hunt especially in places with more humans since they are very opportunistic

    • @NatureMentor
      @NatureMentor  7 месяцев назад

      It's a real mixture in my experience. I see them hunting a lot but they also do a lot of visiting bird feeders and eating apples from trees in people's yards. Certain seasons they do a lot of hunting and other seasons they do very little. I agree though it does depend a lot on the habitat.
