Widow Skimmers - Female and Male
Such a stunningly beautiful dragonfly - the female widow skimmer (Libellula luctuosa). The colour in her eyes was so pretty, I wish the focus on her eyes in the first scene was a little crisper. I have read that eight spotted skimmers (ruclips.net/video/BvyLC9dgAXk/видео.html) can be territorial and I believe those are what are dive bombing around her in the first scene.
Widow skimmers have a home range across the United States and southern Ontario and Quebec (except in the higher elevations of the Rocky Mountains).
At the end, a male swooped in to take the female's pot on the branch. I wasn't expecting this and the camerawork is shaky as I tried to film a scene of him. It was all I got and...

Eight-Spotted Skimmer
Просмотров 389 часов назад
The eight spotted skimmer (Libellula forensis) is found west of the Rocky Mountains in the Pacific Northwest and northern California. They are a percher rather than a flier. Fliers fly around to capture their prey, while perchers rest on perches much in the way flycatching birds do. I found it interesting to see how they fold back their front legs to around their necks (do they have technically...
Common Murres | Yaquina Head, Oregon
Просмотров 13114 дней назад
The Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area near Newport, Oregon can host more than 50,000 common murres (Uria aalge), who breed along the rocky cliffs and islands surrounding the lighthouse. Common murres gather and nest in very dense colonies called loomeries. They do not make nests, but rather lay their eggs on the bare rock or ground. They will sometimes arrange pebbles around the egg, which ...

Просмотров 18914 дней назад
Pigeon guillemots (Cepphus columba) during breeding season along the Oregon coast. A member of the auk family, they range across the North Pacific, from the Kamchatka Peninsula in Siberia to the western coast of North America, from Alaska to California. They breed and burrow on rocky islands, coastlines, and cliffs to provide protection from predators. In the winter, their plumage is a lighter ...
Osprey Calling with Their Chicks
Просмотров 32028 дней назад
Two osprey (Pandion haliaetus) nests in the lower mainland of British Columbia. If I could be so bold as to translate the calls, I think the message is "we're hungry here, are you delivering a fish for us soon??" I was impressed by how the chicks kept their nest clean! I couldn't find any information on whether this was a behaviour taught by the parents. Osprey are piscivores, with 99% of their...
White Crowned Sparrow Singing
Просмотров 171Месяц назад
The beautiful song of the white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys). White crowned sparrows can sing up to 15 times a minute and have different song dialects in different regions! The young learn their songs from more than just their parents, so slight variations get copied until all the birds in a territory are singing the new version of the song. Bill colour varies by region also. Birds ...

Ash-throated flycatchers (Myiarchus cinerascens) are a medium sized tyrant flycatcher, inhabiting dry landscapes from the western states all the way down to Central America. Being well adapted to dry conditions, the ash-throated flycatcher does not need to drink water and gets all the hydration it needs from the food it eats. They are primarily insectivores, but th...

Great Horned Owl Preening

As a follow up to my video of the three great horned owlets (see link below, or at the end of the video), here is what I presume was the mama owl, hanging out over on the other side of the same tree. What an amazing opportunity I had to observe the mama and the three fledgling chicks for well over an hour and a half! Great horned owls (Bubo virginianus) are crepuscular, preferring to hunt at du...

0:18 is that a fish in the mallads mouth?
It just looks like some vegetation to me.
Nice shots Les - great how you able to compose things to isolate them from the surroundings and background.
Excellent capture! I love them!
Great shots! I have photos of those from years ago.
Very beautiful owl chicks!! Wonderful video dear friend!!! Have a good day and a joyful weekend!!!
They attack the butterfly? No wonder my butterflies disappeared!
They probably don't eat that many :)
Amazing 🙂
Thanks Petr!
You got a beautiful, close shot. We can even see the dragonfly chewing.
Hey Jo, good to hear from you! Yeah, I loved seeing their chewing and head movements! They're so fascinating. Hope you're doing well!
@@WanderingSoleTV I'm doing fine. And I never tire of filming those dragonflies! Fun!
@@JoAlwoodBIRDSANDTHENSOME So fun. I'll check out your channel soon to see your latest postings! Have a great weekend!
Nice!
Thanks Mike!
Seen him round are camp site. I've never seen one before. Beautiful.
They really are beautiful birds!
Wow what a beautiful sighting and video you posted which I also enjoyed watching. Filmed so close also is really great that you were able to do this. And yes I also suspect he is calling that the little ones are craving food. Hopefully, he was come up with some fish later.
I did see a fish delivered later, but I had moved on to filming other things : )
You share as always a great video. There are really a lot of them on top of that rock.
It was pretty crowded up there for sure! :) Thank you for your nice words!
SHE SAID "EEH!" I love her!
: )
Wow...what a bunch, to be sure. You are a long way from BC this time. Great footage. Thanks. Joan
Thank you Joan! Yeah, we did a pretty big trip down to Oregon to explore around a bit!
One of my favourite animals since childhood.
I always love seeing them!
Most of those birds are just complaining about how quiet the place used to be before all those other birds showed up.
haha I'm sure! It's hard to keep a good place secret!
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
That's a lot of birds packed in a small area. Interesting for sure!
So packed!!
Such sleek and smooth beauties. Thank you.☺
They're amazing swimmers, just made for it!
Gotta’ say I never thought about how a bird’s nest is kept clean………! I wonder no more. Mother Nature is wonderfully efficient. LOL
lol it can be! I know some species eat the babies poop (fecal sacs). Gotta keep things tidy, right? haha
Your videos, though always short and sweet, make me long to be there. Thank you.
Thank you Susan!!
Amazing 🙂
Thanks Petr!
I love this channel. I found it months ago when I was trying to figure out what bird was making this crazy call in a redwood forest, and I subscribed immediately.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate hearing feedback like that! I love filming wildlife, but it is nice to know there's an interested audience out there too : ) Have a great weekend!
Their fuzzy feet are too cute 🥰
ha for sure! I have another short video showing one of them stretching out those fuzzy legs and I have a full length video showing everything I saw from them that morning! I was very fortunate to watch them for a long time!
Hello, a nice movie of you and great to see!! Greetings Gijs😊😊
Thank you very much!
Neat birds and video Les. Those red feet and inner mouth sure stand out.
They sure do! No wonder the ladies can't resist them! haha
I enjoyed watching this video with great interest 😎
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing bird! Thanks for the precious captures 👍
Many thanks, they were a lot of fun to watch!
Hearing the red wing black birds in the distance
Yes! It was a great day in the wetlands. Also memorable as it was some of my early attempts at filming birds!
A once in a lifetime capture!! Thanks for sharing. Love it. Joan
Thank you Joan!! I hope I get many more owl encounters, but you are right - it really could be a once in a lifetime thing to get to see three chicks for the better part of a morning!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!!

Thank you Petr!
Un rapace que j'adore, je suis surprise de voir un nid pitoyable d' un grand rapace 😅 merci pour ce beau partage 😃
Merci beaucoup!! My friend told me that the one nest had been bigger the week before. I wonder what happened to it? They were working on bringing in new branches that day to rebuild!
The film turned out really well!! I had forgotten about that one pitiful nest. The chicks are so adorable!
Thanks so much Pam! That was a great morning with all we got to see!
