    Thank you so much for this terrific introductory video on birding. My third graders watched it, and they really got a good sense for how to carefully observe wild birds. Now, when we go birding, I hear them saying, "It's larger than a robin, but smaller than a crow." Awesome!

    I think this is the third time I've watched this video... I want to have the information become ingrained. I have already "taken my Birding to another level"... Thank you two & Cornell Ornithology Lab & all the other behind the scenes folks that made these videos possible. I have greatly enjoyed all four videos... And posted all four on facebook... Again, THANKS!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful educational videos. The clarity with which you present is quite commendable. I am a budding birder and would appreciate if the name of the bird/s is mentioned on the screen itself making it easy for us to relate to and learn.

    I love this series, Inside Birding, and the two ornithologists... I have learned more, or rather, I can take what I already know and observe with a few questions... I am soo excited. In the past, I just tried to tell by color & markings- but those darn birds fly & flit so quickly. I have two bird feeders & all these little songbirds come... What are they? I still don't know, but I know I will be able to figure who they all are. A few have a longer tail, most of them are little round fatties...

    I just watched this series for the first time and learned SO much. Thank you!!! I do have one tiny request for future instructional videos like this: Would you please flash the name/species of birds on the screen as they are observed and announced? It would be very helpful to us beginners. Other than that, each video was OUTSTANDING! And thank you for my “Project FeederWatch” Bird-Watching Days calendar. Now I just need a better pair of binoculars. ♥

    I saw two new birds near my building. One is a small Jay with a kind of pastel reddish pink on it's head and tail. The middle is a greyish color. The othe bird is the size of a Grackle but it's light grey! And it's long tail has two white bars on the edges, and the wing's have thick white on the edges too. I think the changing climate brought them north.

Its about the size of a sparrow I have been watching it when it comes on floor by feeder to eat which isnt often, only when it gets really really cold and snowy do i see it come out. It will than hop than scratch back with both fet at once. I call it my hoppin scratchin bird . It hops than scratches back with both feet in a fluid short motion. Ok..I Hope you can help me identify this bird with these eating characteristics. God bless
