Wingsandbeaks here ~ Again, I’m blown away by the long list of species you get to share with us in 1 video. Thanks for sharing. 7:53 p.m. 12-18-22
crazy birding dude it's amazing to see black crowned night herons there because I'm from south africa and currently there are 2 red necked phalaropes and a gull billed tern which are a rarity for south africa
I bet you get a ton of crazy stuff in South Africa!
Excellent photography
Thanks!
This is why I fallow you guys, you like birds, you go looking for rares but it’s not only about that, you appreciate all of them and have fun even when you don’t find the one you were there for, awesome video.
Thanks! Always something cool to see!
Hallo...thanks for your nice vlog!! Greetings Gijs
You’re welcome, Gijs!
Great vid Derek. Lots of great looks at the shorebirds!
Thanks, buddy!
I recently visited the beach and saw black skimmers, sandwich terns, least terns, laughing gulls, ring-billed gulls, brown pelicans, semipalmated sandpipers, dunlins, and sanderlings.
Nice!
Most of the species you saw would be lifers for me. I think you only mentioned (or listed on-screen) 7 species that I have on my life list. Love the diversity of species there!
Grand Isle is incredible! Especially during migration.
The Cape Mae Warbler really cool nice catch 👍
Thanks! It was a state bird for me so I was pumped!
Extra cool sir👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Sorry you missed Red-necked Phalarope. We just had a Wilson’s Phalarope pair visit us here in Ottawa County, MI! I got some video that I’ll maybe share in the future. Phalaropes are very interesting and beautiful birds and are always a pleasure to see.
Awesome! Yeah, they are always a treat to see!
This is my first spring birding and I was overwhelmed by the amount of new birds I saw at a local hotspot this past weekend! So many tiny little yellow guys to strain to identify! Thank you for showing us all of the neat Louisiana birds!
You’re welcome! Spring is definitely the most exciting time of the year for birders.
Love the format in this video and I lot of good info too. Keep it up!
Will do, thanks!
I had a really exciting last weekend here in central Ohio when I found a Wilson’s phalarope in a flooded field. They are definitely way more rare here in Ohio than Louisiana. A lot of birders came out to look at it and it was definitely something I will never forget as it was my first rare bird that I have ever found. I also had 3 semi palmated plovers, 1 dunlin, 8 black bellied plovers, 6 least sandpipers and many more shorebirds in just one little, flooded field. I had 11 species shorebirds just in that one field on Saturday which is very good. Spring migration is definitely my favorite time of the year! Great video! 👍
Nice! Congrats on the Phalarope find!
Wonderful birds capture. Great video.
Thanks!
I need a full list of those peeps you scanned by, that place looked poppin’
The mudflat area? Semipalmated Plover, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Dunlin. Short-billed Dowitcher. Plus a random Clapper Rail hanging out.
@@BadgerlandBirding Sweet! I did see the clapper rail ;) When do WRSA move thru the area?
@@pauraque They’re around now and can be seen most frequently in May. Some of the other birders had one on Grand Isle that same day but I didn’t see it.
Wow, that was a real treasure Island! Amazing variety of beautiful birds. Thanks for sharing your day with us, I really enjoyed the trip. 👍
You’re welcome! It’s a great place!
If ya'll are still in the area, check out Mandalay nature trail in Houma, Louisiana. It's a short little trail but at the end it opens up into a huge opening with a little pier over looking the marsh with tons of birds. Loads of redwing black birds, egrets, and warblers when we went about 2 weeks ago. And a goofy snake that likes to climb into the bird boxes.
There's not much parking, but once you get to the end of the trail it's super rewarding.
Mandalay is cool! I’ve been there a couple times, I just wish the trail was a little longer. The snake sounds super interesting. Do you know what kind it is?
@@BadgerlandBirdingIt was crazy. They had 2 bird boxes, and he came out of one, then a few mins later he went into the second one, he knew exactly where the food goes. My best guess at identifying him was a corn snake. I've got some pictures and a video of him... I'll tweet them at ya when I get off work.
@@Xellros please do! Would love to see them.
@@Xellros looks like a Western Rat Snake! Great pics and vids!
Another great episode. Wow! that was one hell of a day of birding, nice to see them all making it back. I love Louisiana.
Thanks! It has its cool places for sure! We'll be releasing some more episodes featuring the awesome places of LA soon!
Thanks so much for your Louisiana video, it's nice to see other species we don't get in WI this time of year.
You’re welcome!
That is some sweet birding action! Great video. Cape mays are so gorgeous!
Thanks! That was my first LA Cape May so I was pretty pumped!
I was down there a couple of days after you, but only birded further to the north. The VERY long boardwalk at Jean Lafitte National Park is most worthy. Lots of lizards and gators too.
Love Jean Lafitte! We will be featuring it in a video soon!
MAFR, ROSP, and GBTE all in the same day seems insane... probably just the WI in me talking tho
Haha, yeah it’s a little different than up north.
Nice video! The frigate bird was amazing!
Thanks!
Wow the wilson’s pharalope is a beautiful bird, also u put a brambling in the starting image but never talked about it
On the cover image? There is a Bay-breasted Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, and Cape May Warbler.
@@BadgerlandBirding oh it looks so much like brambling omg
@@user-bm3sb7cq2h that would be super rare for the US, so if we did get one nearby I’d definitely be there.
Was that Least Sandpiper missing a leg?
Nah he was just being lazy.
