Hi, Thomas. You have so many gorgeous birds in Bangkok that it's a wonder you bother with films about U.S. birds. Anyway, I'm glad you did, and thank you for the compliment.
Great info and close views of the Ruddy Turnstone - a shorebird who not only looks colorful but acts it as well. I've never imagined a bird on crutches Jo but I do now, hobbling confidently on that gritty sandy surface. Lol! Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge and the smiles : )
Yeah, Cathy, I was pleased when I came up with the crutches line. Finding those smiles is the challenging part of writing every script--and the most satisfying.
Michael, you sharp-eyed bird lover, you! Even though I watched this footage many times as I made the movie, I never noticed the missing toes on his right foot. Good catch!
@@JoAlwoodBIRDSANDTHENSOME oh no, I live on the shore of the atlantic ocean I see them and snipes all the time, used to see loads of snowy owls, but luckily the airports have managed to kill them off (SMH)
Thank you, Zero J. This one in particular probably ended before you were ready for it to, because it's so short. ... But that's all I had to say about this bird.
I'm glad you enjoyed it and felt you learned a lot. I thought the bird was adorable pecking inside seashells and pulling the meat out of dead crabs. He was such a busy little being!
@@zero44mag For some reason, every time I tried to respond to your comment on the owl movie, the comment disappeared. That's happened once in awhile with other people's comments too. Anyway, I came back to this older comment to make sure you know that I appreciated the compliment on the new film. Thanks.
The Ruddy Turnstone is an amazing bird !! I have not heard of this cute little bird . What a clever name . He definitely is turning stones to find his food . He probably is a beneficial bird , he eats old as well as new . I loved this video!!😊😊
I'm pleased to hear how much you liked it, Pamela. It's a short, sweet movie--that won't get a ton of views. Even among people who admire birds, shorebirds get little attention. The number of views and comments on this video are fewer than I would usually see at this point. I accept that and publish whatever I want to. I see myself as building a library here, and I want it to be well rounded, as complete as I can make it. Having said all that, I'd add that I thought he was adorable pecking around inside seashells and digging the meat out of a crab dead for days possibly. And he's pretty even in winter. You should see his breeding plumage!!
Do I get a vote? I take your suggestion as an honor, Sofia. Thank you. Still, much as I love what I'm doing, I bit off all I can chew when I decided to publish once a week. Like I said, though, thank you for the compliment.
What a great video you prepared for us Jo.
Many thanks for sharing.
Best regards from Bangkok....
Thomas

Wonderful amount of sea shells on this seashore.
Wow did not realize I had 9,000 taste buds.
I'M hungry for crab meat or some clams ..now.
I hope your belly thanks you for satisfying your appetite. ... And your tastebuds too!
Nice I see these all the time.
That so? Do you see them on rocky terrain where they'd need their superior balance?
@@JoAlwoodBIRDSANDTHENSOME oh no, I live on the shore of the atlantic ocean I see them and snipes all the time, used to see loads of snowy owls, but luckily the airports have managed to kill them off (SMH)
I'm puzzled. You're glad the airports killed off Snowy Owls? What does SMH stand for?
Lovely birds , wonderful place 😍😘 Renato RS 🇧🇷 Brasil
Hello, Renato, nice to hear from you. And it's nice to know that this simple little film appealed to you. thanks for commenting.
I love your videos. I get so into them.... Then it's over 😭
Thank you, Zero J. This one in particular probably ended before you were ready for it to, because it's so short. ... But that's all I had to say about this bird.
@@JoAlwoodBIRDSANDTHENSOME you definitely said a lot about this bird. feels like I know a lot about them now. 😁
I'm glad you enjoyed it and felt you learned a lot. I thought the bird was adorable pecking inside seashells and pulling the meat out of dead crabs. He was such a busy little being!

Natures recycling machines!❤️
Right, Chuck. It's not just vultures that clean up the dead stuff.

I will try to research this bird and see his breeding plumage.
@@pamelakern2849 Google images would bring him right up for you, Pamela.
Thankyou , I will 🤗
Wow. He is gorgeous!!
Fascinating!
Ain't it the truth, Cynthia. As soon as I saw him digging around in that seashell, I decided that he was worth training the camera on for awhile.
@@JoAlwoodBIRDSANDTHENSOME Amen! (grin!) You were right!
I love your videos so much Jo!!! 🥰
What a nice way to start the day, reading your comment, Greg. I love making these videos and relish knowing that my efforts are appreciated.
Anyone else notice our turnstone friend was missing toes?
Who else things Jo Alwood should make a full-length documentary?
