If you didn’t hear, I have been spending a lot of my semi-retirement studying wildlife. Those of you that haven’t stopped by the Daily Buckets or Dawn Chorus or seen my videos (from my youtube channel) get a free screening today. The two videos below have not been offered to another group.

The first 1 minute video focuses on a Lesser Yellowlegs (a shore bird.) I concentrated on things that clarify the species. Some of those “markers” are size (compared to the two Killdeer) and it’s call (just before flight). Here is that quaint little bird.

.

The next video was compiled from five different recordings. I was sitting on a path and heard the birds within a thicket. I waiting until each bird emerged and filmed those wonderful moments. Most people don’t get to see these elusive creatures. I hope they entertain you like they did me when I found them.

Here are a few tunes to fill in our morning. I hope you don’t mind the nostalgia.

If you’d made it this far, take a few moments and give us your thoughts, share a moment with a friend or give a shout out to be heard. Glad you could make it.
