Hi Tweets!
One of my favorite wintering finches: A flock of Escher snowbirds swirling and feeding in a field. There was about 500 birds total.
Is it spring yet?
I definitely need practice with my video rerorder and processing skills. Capturing birds in flight is much tougher than I thought. Video was compressed and compromised in quality once loaded on YouTube--so I apologize. Not as sharp as I would like it to be:)
You can hear them twitter if you turn up the volume. Recorded on 3/27 in Okanogan Co.
More videos of Great Gray Owl, Dusky Grouse, and a few others at a later time.
