- Warbler-Palooza II starts strong with Sparky finding one of the rarest breeding warblers in North America....the Connecticut. But technical difficulties hamper the warbler count. Fortunately he is able to share video of some beautiful warblers including Northern Parula, Golden-winged Warblers. And there are many other highlights to be seen in northern Minnesota's Sax-Zim Bog in summer...Great Gray Owl, Sedge Wrens, LeConte's Sparrow, Snowshoe Hares and much more. Sparky also shows us highlights from May's Warbler Wednesdays and the bi-annual "garbage clean-up best find contest." Oh yeah, it's also time for Tiny Bird Art!
Incredible views of those warblers! Such vibrant colors! Can't wait to come visit the bog someday. Great video!
You should! Winter is when most folks come. But if you ever do come, let me know and we can do a hybrid RUclips episode.
Sparky, always appreciate and love your videos. Thanks. Look forward to my next visit to the Bog
Thank you so much Guy! See you in the Bog!
Congrats on the purchase of the west side of McDavitt! Always good to see more of the bog preserved. I enjoy watching your videos to brush up on my warbler ID. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much jreed! We intend to keep buying up habitat in Sax-Zim!
Un placer tus vídeos.gracias nos vemos.
Thank you, Pedro!
As always some nice footage and great commentary.
Thanks for even watching buddy!
Even though the little bobwhite is a non-native it stilled pulled on my heart strings, it looked so lonely.
Yes… I don’t think he’ll be finding a mate anytime soon. They are beautiful birds actually. I guess I should be clear that they are not native to northern Minnesota but native to the US of course
Thanks for all you do to preserve the Bog. Looking forward to visiting Sax-Zim someday.
Thanks for your kind words Katie! You’ll definitely have to visit in the winter someday.
Petition Tim Walz for the Golden-winged Warbler change
Absolutely!
I love your videos and the knowledge you share. Maybe one day my wife and I will visit, we are in North Carolina.
Thank you, Allen! Winter is always best for birds up here in the Bog.
@@SparkyStensaas My wife and may try to hire you one day, your knowledge seems unmatched for the area.
A nice collection, Sparky. I was surprised to hear you say that Connecticut Warblers aren’t generally very responsive to playback, as that has not been my experience. Regardless, they are always a high-value target, so congratulations on finding one.
Thanks Al! If you are very close to the core of their territory playback works well. But if they are seeing well off the road, they don’t seem to respond very well.
Thanks, Sparky! Nice job on that CONW!
Thank you!
I agree with you that the state bird should be the golden-winged warbler. I will also be a great gray owl for Halloween.
Sounds like a cool costume!
Loving all your videos. Thanks so much! I’m not a deet person, though. Be careful with that stuff.
Thanks also for the litter removal/adopt a highway! Dirty diapers, how rude can people be?!
Thanks cobbmtngirl! I’ve come along way since I used to use 100% DEET when I was a canoe guide on the Canadian border so strong that it would melt the rubber on your binoculars! I’ve backed off to 25% :-)
Yes, at least we don’t see as many beer cans as we used to. More energy drink and vaping containers now!
Great! Just a reflection: How come your warbler males are so colorful compared to especially our European leaf warblers, numbering 15+ species. They are typically wood warblers like yours, but are all mostly greyish or greenish. So, they only rely on the song in their territorial behavior whereas your combine color and song. I assume. I have had many groups out for warbler excursions over the years here in Norway. And the only way to teach people the differences between the species is learning the song. But you lucky guys also have these nice colors to show your audience!
Good question Per! that is so true! I was just looking through my European field guide in fact.
While very similar in size habits and habitats, old world warbler and new world wood warbler aren't closely related. Also, the wood warbler songs are not much of a warble
I plan on coming in the winter. What is the best Month?
Hi Susan, anytime between mid December and mid March should be great. We get a different mix of birds every winter, but there are always fun things to see. And that is when all the feeders are up in the northern owls may be visible as well. Lots of winter finches and other boreal birds.
@@SparkyStensaas I have a week vacation left this year so Dec it is. Thank you! I love your video's .
I live near the St. Croix river and have seen all warblers i could hope to see except the Connecticut warbler. Have heard it twice in migration but never seen. Frustrating.
That is frustrating! Sounds like you live in a beautiful location!
