Nature Sounds.ca - Boreal Forest Videos

When I received a new digital still camera I noticed there was a "video function" on it. I thought I would use it to share some entertaining antics of birds at the bird feeder. Then we had record rainfalls in the area in June which encouraged me to record the waterfalls at Kakabeka Falls. These are just for fun, from Nature Sounds.ca. Now, a year later, the fun continues...

Hairy Woodpeckers - Mother feeding Child

This is a video of a mother Hairy woodpecker feeding her child at the bird feeder. She carefully selects a certain size and type of seed, then puts it in a crack in the deck railing, pecks the shell off, and feeds junior the delectable morsal. Junior keeps a running patter of woodpecker talk urging mom to keep going. Length: 4:23 minutes.

River Diamonds - Water Meditation

Recorded on the Kopka River, Water Diamonds dance on the surface of the river. Watching this dance creates a trance-like state. Best viewed with the YouTube "High Quality" (HQ Button) turned on. Length: 3:36 minutes.

Redpolls - Boreal Winter Birds - Relaxation

As winter progresses a large flock of redpolls gathers for sunflower seeds at a feeder. The air is filled with continuous chirps and trills. In the background a nuthatch and a raven are heard. Length: 3:01 minutes. Link to hour-long audio file

Kakabeka Falls - June 10, 2008 - Panoramic

Kakabeka Falls - The Niagara of the North. Record flow on June 10, 2008. The name "Kakabeka" comes from the Ojibwe word gakaabikaa "waterfall over a cliff". Length: 4:12 minutes.

Bird Feeder I - Boreal Forest - Goldfinches

I took this video of the feeder in the boreal forest on June 2 to share with the visitors of Nature Sounds.ca. It features goldfinches, a purple finch, and a nuthatch. Finches and white throated sparrows can be heard in the background. Length: 4:21 minutes.

Bird Feeder II - Boreal Forest - Purple Finches

A steady stream of birds come to the feeder in the boreal forest. The red birds are purple finches. The yellow birds are goldfinches. The blue backed bird is the little feisty nuthatch. The smaller striped birds are pine siskins and the larger striped birds are female finches. Relax and enjoy! Please feel free to share with anyone you like. Please do not edit the content. Length: 4:53 minutes.

Bird Feeder III - Boreal Forest - Nuthatches

It is spring in the boreal forest and a small group of birds enjoy the bird feeder. The nuthatch is always the show-off. His acrobatic antics that he uses to get a seed is a wonder. But here we see only half the story. He takes his seed to a tree where he hops down the trunk until he finds a crack in the bark. As he faces upside-down, he wedges the seed in the bark and then cracks it open with his beak.

The actors in order of appearance: male purple finch (red bird), pine siskin (small striped bird), chipping sparrow (reddish brown striped head), female purple finch (larger striped bird), nuthatch (blue back acrobatic), chickadee (plump, with black and white head).

Bird Feeder IV - Boreal Forest - Rose Breasted Grosbeak

I never expected to see a rose breasted grosbeak this far north, but here he is! He has a nest nearby and is a daily guest. He is a relatively shy bird, so I feel very lucky to have been able to get some footage of him. Length: 2:46 minutes.
