As someone who loves hummingbirds, and toucans too, this video was special. Also, I didn't know about antpittas. They're so tiny and pretty The elevated forest landscape is so beautiful. Seeing a passionate birder, especially a young one who is still early in their journey, receive a nice pair of bins will never not be heartwarming. Love the series.

Another great video. Again, incredible birds and great footage. I am a bit obsessed right now with the quality of image that you are getting by simply putting your cellphone to the scope. Is that because of the quality of the scope itself or is it because you got great light and are experienced at getting a wonderful image?
@TheBirdersShow

Thank you, Jeffrey. So glad you enjoy the videos 😁 as for the digiscoping videos, it’s a combination of factors really: the closer the bird and the better the light, the better the video for sure. These toucans were close and the light was pretty good. But the combo of phone camera and scope quality is also super important: this was shot on the Kowa TSN-88 with an iPhone, so that combined quality gets me pretty good images.

What a great channel, thank you for this content. Could you recommend a book on understanding the taxonomy of the hummingbirds. A book that explains what a Sylph is or what makes a Woodstar a Woodstar. I'm from USA Georgia all we have are Ruby Throated Hummers. Also what tripods do you use?

mmmhh, @@eridu77 weird, I replied to you yesterday about it... there is not single book that will explain you that... if you go to BIRDS OF THE WORLD online (cornell HBW) and hit the Trochilidae page, you will see all genera and that will give you a better idea of differences between main types of hummers... also, some extra reading could be JON DUNN book on hummers THE GLITTER IN THE GREEN and GlennBartley's SUPERB book "HUMMINGBIRDS: A CELEBRATION OF NATURE'S JEWELS"
¿Qué piensan de que en este sitio tengan cebadas a una gran cantidad de aves, especialmente a los tucanes? Para mi fue muy triste ver a las dos especies de Andigenas velar toda una mañana por unas uvas chilenas. Pareciera que allá no se ve a los bichos como "sujetos de conservación" si no más como negocio.
@diegoCOLbirding

unas por otras... si el negocio lleva a conservación y a mejorar la calidad de vida de personas locales, bienvenido sea... yo pienso que alimentar las aves es valioso y la única forma de acercar a muchas personas NO PAJARERAS a la naturaleza... aunque no sea lo óptimo!
It's a shame that you encourage people to feed wild birds for the pure entertainment of so-called birders who do not have the spirit to fail in searching for an exciting species... that is precisely what all is about in this wonderful activity!! treating them almost as pets... I love the channel but sorry, this is not birding.

@Javier Evan mate, indeed I also get bored birding at feeders... I much rather prefer real habitat birding, looking for skulky jobs and in natural conditions... but hey, a lot of these places feeding birds have allowed normal non-birding people to get closer and in awe with the birds so all in all, a win win... that's one of the magic of birds: they please each of us on a specific/different way and that's what makes them special 🙌
