We help people learn about birds and birding! If you enjoy birding, bird feeding, or nature in general, this is the channel for you! Join us (brothers Derek and Ryan Sallmann) on our birding adventures, learn how to ID birds, how to feed them, and learn about all sorts of birding gear.
Our show is based in Wisconsin but we travel across the United States and sometimes to other countries. Be sure to check out our website at badgerlandbirding.com

the bluejays out my window are my alarm clock 😁😁🥜🥜
I think the Cardinal 0:35 or the Robin 1:30 that sounds like it has gratitude for each new day beginning in the morning very early and gratefulness in thanks for another day in the evening. Have you heard that...What do you think, is it the Robin?
I just received mine, it's doing the firmware update now, I didn't realize it wasn't charging using my phone charger so changed chargers and its working now and the update stopped giving me errors.
For me, it’s the northern cardinals that wake me up. I live in Florida and we only get robins here during the winter, so I don’t have the pleasure of hearing them too often. I also get Carolina wrens, northern mockingbirds, and mourning doves visiting my backyard daily, and it’s a beautiful combination of songs to start the morning with.☺
I have a bird that makes a sound almost like it is saying running scared, running scared. Do you have any idea what that bird is.
I wonder how it knows the difference between a mockingbird or other mimic birds and other birds. I know I have a mockingbird that mimics an American Robin a lot.
If Sean Malto was into birds lol
I see great kiskadees in my backyard all the time but I didn’t know we had burrowing owls 😮
high morale
low morale
i kiss
I need a box that tells you when bird poo
Could you please do a video for the birds of the Pacific N.W. I am going backpacking in washington in 10 days? I love your videos and would enjoy getting educated on the Pacific Northwest birds, like their calls and what they look like.
I did not know that about house sparrows.
That Kestrel sounded like an American Kestrel to me. Not sure what you were expecting instead?
I hear an American Robin
Interesting. I had thought of getting it but with your review, I might wait. I also keep getting Purple Finches, Pine Siskins, and Red Crossbills all the time on Merlin, too. I dislike when it tries to make an ID off a single "tik" or "sip* call. However, Merlin kept giving me Carolina Wren and I kept ignoring it...then I got a Carolina Wren! So that was cool. We need a better way to report these incorrect IDs so they can tweak their database and make improvements.
Where do you live? The first 3 you listed are often just flyovers so it could actually be picking up their flight calls 👀 but it may also just be wrong
Juneau County, WI. I have gotten all those birds here, just not with the frequency Merlin would have me believe *LOL* The Purple Finch frequency annoys me, because I do get them here but I can be looking right at a House Finch, watching it sing, and watch Merlin light up with Purple. So something in their library has some overlap between the two.
Great video!
Here in Phoenix grackles kill and eat mourning dove chicks. I see about a dozen carcasses in a 2 block dog walk. It's amazing that we still have doves
Nice! I'm in the middle of listening to the audiobook of "A Wing and a Prayer, The Race to Save Our Vanishing Birds" (Highly recommend if you haven't read/listened to yet!), and they mentioned haiku boxes so I was likely going to purchase one in the near future, so thanks so much for reviewing! I might have not heard correctly, but was there a way to "report" the error? Hopefully, that way they can start training their model with "ignore whatever this sound was" examples! Happy Birding!
Yes! You can select “no it’s a…” or “no it’s not correct” for particular recording. Will have to add that book to the list!
I think I'll wait a bit, based on your review. Sounds like a few bugs need to be worked out and a few tweaks made, but overall, a very exciting new tool for birding! Thank you for reviewing it!
But, despite the data telling you it was a peregrine blob. If you couldn’t identify it as that bird …nah 😂
That was a seriously good days birding. Three knowledgable guys helps i’m sure
It was a great day! Felt like we had great team chemistry too, with all of us pointing out different things that others may have missed.
That was really cool! I often hear Carolina wrens in the backyard.
I'm interested in how this will stack against Terra. Still waiting on a release date!
How does the call ID compare to Merlin?
In my experience, Birdnet isn’t nearly as accurate as Merlin and Merlin is pretty good but not perfect..
Worse than Merlin since it’s BirdNet
I agree
Thanks for the nuanced, candid commentary
Osprey nest that was on the Wisconsin River in Portage was so rad. They took the tower down they nested on. Dumb.
I have Bird Net!
Oooo! Product reviews!
Cheeseburger…. My fav 😊
THANK YOU! I finally, after many years, know what that bird is that makes the most heavenly sound--the wood thrush.
I live in Central Texas and very often, in the early morning, I'll hear a call that sounds for all the world like: "Chicory chick, chicory chick, chicory chicory chicory chick." Any ideas apart from me simply making stuff up?
Is there a way to keep the purple finches out of the grape jelly I'm feeding the orioles, as the finches are eating most of it.
Purple Finches or House Finches?
Important note from Haikubox after sharing my video with them: "1) You played a few sounds to your Haikubox and it didn't pick up the Sandhill Cranes, while later it did pick them up when they really were outside. That may be because we have a filter so birds that are not supposed to be there won't be identified. It changes every week, and is based on when birds are usually around. Summer-only birds will not be identified by the Haikubox in the winter, even if you play the sound to the box. in the winter It might be that Sandhill Cranes wouldn't be identified when you played the sound, but even a few days later, they would be identified. Or the Sandhill Crane was identified at Low confidence which wouldn't show up if you were only showing Med confidence or higher. 2) I know you scrolled down and listened to a lot of one-time identifications that were wrong. It was helpful to hear your description of what was a one-time mistake and what the box got wrong frequently. We definitely want to make this better, so every time you label those identifications as incorrect, it is super helpful. We use them to train and retrain and teach the computer the difference between right and wrong. It's a really big challenge." They also offered to send me an update that is supposed to help pick up owls, so we should be receiving that on our box soon! They were really great to work with and very responsive!
The Haikubox def needs some work. CEDAR WAX WING.❤
Nice! looking forward to a follow up vid with some hootin!
There’s a mockingbird (I’m pretty sure) in my neighborhood who keeps singing in the middle of the night. As a result they’ve gained the nickname “Yappingbird”
I must admit, I did one time tempt an Ivory-billed Woodpecker into my back yard using playback. I just let a few select people see it before using it to bait an owl. #BTFAH
I’m having a hard time getting notifications on my phone. I have them turned on in my phone, but I don’t receive them to my phone. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Are you seeing birds come to the feeder but then not getting anything?
In my neighborhood- it’s either some auto enthusiast with straight pipes or a gun toting rascal that rips off a few rounds. But seriously - we either have the mourning dove or the mocking bird. I find birds to be very soothing and enjoyable.
House sparrows are then most annoying
I dont agree with the last one house sparrow, I rescued a female house sparrow and SHES AMAZING, she sings let's me kiss her, shes not aggressive towards me, I feed her wild brothers and sisters and love them.

You guys didn't go to Santa Anna Wildlife Refuge? South of the city of Alamo...major birding center in the Valley! Surprised you missed it!
There wasn’t anything different being seen around there at the time
In my area, we get house sparrows (most common, you can see them on the street), blue jays, and occasionally a mourning dove
They're still in the area! I went there today.
Long live the parakeets!
No orioles??
They’re in the spring version
There is a road east of Merced that wends over to highway 108 in Tuolumne County. Lots of yellow billed magpies around there. They are cool.
Thanks for the tip! They are awesome 👍
