Hello everybody! In this video were going to learn about our friends, the birds. They are so diverse, and there are so many colors and shapes, it's fun to learn about them. For example, this tiny little hummingbird doesnt look anything like this huge ostrich. And these penguins dont look much like this peacock with its large fan-shaped tail.
Well, they may not look alike, but theyre all birds, and have many things in common. Birds are oviparous... Which as you know, means that they reproduce by laying eggs. The females lay the eggs in nests, in the rocks...
Or on the ground... And with the heat of their bodies, they incubate the eggs until the little chicks hatch. Birds dont have teeth, they have beaks or bills... And these can be very different, depending on what that species of bird feeds on.
They breathe with their lungs, that are connected to... Bags full of air... Called air sacs... And these help birds to fly.
Also, nature, which is very clever, has made their bones hollow, so they weigh very little, and because of this its much easier for them to fly. The skin of birds is covered with feathers: these protect them from the cold and heat. Birds have four limbs, the back ones are legs... And the front ones are wings.
Together, the wings and feathers are essential for them to be able to fly... And in some cases... So they can swim. Birds are terrestrial and most of them can fly.
Can you think of any birds that cant fly? Thats right!!! Penguins and ostriches are two species of birds that cannot fly. Birds have four types of feathers: those that cover the whole body; flight feathers in the wings that help them to fly; down feathers, which cover the chest and belly and maintain the body at a constant temperature; and tail feathers that help guide the birds body like a rudder on a boat. Birds can be classified into several groups, according to what they eat: herbivores feed on plants and grasses their beaks are short and strong, and can crush seeds and grains. When they only eat grains, they are called granivores.
Carnivorous birds hunt and eat other animals, using their strong, curved beaks. Within the group of carnivores there are insectivores, that only eat insects, and piscivores that only feed on fish. These birds have pointed beaks that are long and sharp to help them catch the fish. Remember - birds that eat fish are called piscivorous.
The last group - omnivorous birds - includes pigeons and hens, and they eat almost anything. So remember: birds are oviparous, which means they reproduce by laying eggs; their mouths are beaks or bills and they breathe with their lungs; their skin is covered with feathers; and depending on the food they eat, they can be herbivorous... Carnivorous... Or omnivorous.
So, now you know a lot more about birds. Goodbye, everybody, and dont forget to subscribe to Happy Learning!!!.
Welcome to the middle of butt-fuck nowhere there is a bunny on the run from two dodgy dogs One could say that the bunny is the underdog... Hehe. Don't be fooled though, this bunny is not a dumbass. Look at it chuck a fucking right-hand turn! We're dealing with a slippery bastard.
Now it says "see ya wouldn't wanna be ya" and the dogs struggle to keep up They do manage to close the gap again. But the bunny chucks a fucking lingering lefty this time. There's a horse. The bunny gets cocky, he's yelling out come at me you dim-witted mutts.
Humans use me as a mascot for their fucking batteries. I can run all day, I can root all day. You've got nothing on me your dopey fuckwits. Now he gets caught, nooo he gets away.
Gee whizz, I thought the dogs made him eat his words but nah, he says "kiss my fluffy ass sniff it, fucking sniff it, you dickheads". I will stress that he is not out of trouble left-right, left-right sharp left and he beelines towards the trenches. Here are some humans wanting to see blood. Classic humans.
The cameraman is drunk Oh, there they are! The bunny is saying I am everywhere, I am nowhere. I'm Keyser Sze I'm Tyler fucking Durden, you can't see me. The dogs reply: catch me outside. How about that? The bunny says gee that's original.
Do you get all you comebacks from dank memes? And that really pisses off the dogs But this bunny just keeps going, and going, and going and there's more action here than a Michael Bay movie. Fuck that was close Where is the little wanker? I can't see him ahhh he's bloody zigzagging all over their faces And now he's heading for the cover of bush. The dogs are slowing down, the bunny has vanished. Fuck yes, bunny, fuck yes, mate! You.

Oh, sh-- As punishment for deceiving him, he went and shot my dog. He must have chased a mouse or something around
the fuse box and got electrocuted. She didn't want to walk into your dinner party
carrying a dead cat, so she put inside your back door. Ari! Uzi! Where are you!? They're okay, Chas.
It's okay. They're safe! They're safe. Dad, they ran over Buckley! What!? Yeah, I think we lost Buckley. Your cat's dead.
What? Which one? Marmalade. What kind of cat was it? Who gives a shit? It looks dead. I think it's dead. Fuck! What was that? A bump of some sort.
You see, kids, a car-- Here's the leash, sir. I'm going back to get the rest of the carcass
off the road. Thank you, officer. See ya.
Have a nice day. Peter, you killed it! Will you guys relax! He's got eight more lives. Okay, seven more lives. Six.
Peter, stop doing what you're doing. I received a Transatlantic call one day. Skip died, Daddy said. He and my Mama wrapped him in my baseball
jacket.
I had a tarantula when I was a kid! But it died because my cat ate it. And then
my cat died. Sad ending to this one though. Poor little
guy.
Snapped his neck when I tired to get him out
of the fishbowl. Stupid, I used tongs. Salad tongs. I don't know why I just didn't use my hand.
It seems like you just could have tipped the
jar on its side and let him crawl out on his own leisure. Ehh, hindsight's 20/20. You know we've got to do it. I know, Mama.
What's up man? It's so good to see you. Hey Buddy. > I know I saw you this morning but it seems like it's been forever. We gotta celebrate.
What do you want to do? Let's go throw this puppy around. Go outside and get some fresh air? >I'll put my stuff down alright? >Alright. Hey man, what are you doing? Are you cooking? Do you need any help? I can help. Nah, I'm good.
Actually, where's the basil? Bottom drawer. What is this? I am so sorry. I don't even deserve to be here. I'll just go get paper towels and clean it up and leave.
What? We're out of cereal. You're friend's weird. Yeah, I don't think he likes you. He doesn't really like anyone.
<Moaning> What's up with you? Jimmy! No! Hey, don't worry. I got this. That's a good boy!.
Harlow... Harlow this is Ranch We're going on an adventure! Ah you've got FREEZING cold hands! Good Thursday morning everyone. I had a rough night My pain had been getting worse and worse throughout the day yesterday and then by the time we were going to bed I felt like my body was just going to fall apart. I asked Judd: 'Is there anything even holding me together?' Because my joints just felt so unstable and painful it's like: "Collagen, but you don't really have a lot of that." Hah It's an Ehlers-Danlos syndrome joke but anyways my hip was in a lot of pain, and I had muscular pain in my legs It was just a rough night.
I was not able to sleep very well, but thankfully things are a little easier this morning I'm going to focus on that improvement but getting up out of bed this morning and getting ready and Downstairs it was just - it took a lot. It was not easy, so Definitely taking it easy today Judd is working overtime. So he is at work the first part of the day but he should be home just after lunchtime which will be nice So I came downstairs and Immediately came to the couch, and I forgot to grab my slippers, the blanket, the remote I forgot to grab water and Harlow knows how to get all these things for me and people ask "Why didn't you get that on your way to the couch?" Well when you're in a lot of pain and your body is already begging for a break you're not really thinking about all these things. In my head I'm just: 'I need to get to the couch so I can sit down and try and alleviate some of this pain' And so that's why I just go straight to the couch, and then I forget some necessary items I need water so I can take my pills on time, that's really important; and the other items like a blanket I don't need that, but it's nice to have and so I've trained Harlow how to get these things for me, and it's one of her tasks she does to help mitigate my disability because in this much pain I'm a increased fall risk so if I don't have to get up and Harlow can help me instead, it's much safer Yeah, today's definitely a walker kind of day You're ready to help me? You're the sweetest dog Alright Harlow get the remote - get the remote Good girl.
Give - Thank you! Get the blanket Good girl Thank you, Har! Harlow go get my slipper Get the slippers Good girl. Thank you Good dog, go get the other one. Get the slipper Good job! Come here pup pup Good girl. Thank you.
Water bottle, I'm thirsty! Good girl Harlow, get it! Good girl! Oh! *Stifled laughter* Harlow - Harlow this is Ranch, this isn't the water bottle *laugh* Harlow. Water bottle, I'm thirsty. Wha- Harlow, go get me a water bottle! Harlow, water bottle I'm thirsty. Get it.
Harlow, get it. Oh! You got it. Good girl! Come here! That's what I need! Thank you! All right now I've got ranch and water. Go shut the fridge! Shut it Harlow shut it Good dog Harlow! Good girl Who's the best dog? Thank you for making me laugh even when I'm in pain.
I've got my slippers my blanket water so I can take my medicine and Ranch Not only do I appreciate Harlow and all the things she does specifically to mitigate my disabilities But I also appreciate her ability to make me smile and laugh even when my chronic illnesses are giving me a hard time Jaq is making me work without food Judd: I'm hungry.
Jaquie: I made him sandwiches -
Judd: but now she's making me videotape and I want food Jaquie: Go get your food! Judd: *grumble* Jaquie: Fixing my infusion bag People care more about my sandwiches. *Gasp* There's no chips! Judd: What a disgrace.
Jaquie: Oh my God, get your own chips.
Judd: What a disgrace. Omnomnomnomnomnomnom Need more chips. There we go, perfect Lunch! *Judd humming* *loud crunching of chips* Don't mind Judd munching his chips in the background.
*Crunch crunch crunch* Alright, banana bags mixed about to hook up to my infusion, and I'm slowly working on a sandwich How was your overtime, babe? It was good Awesome. All the trash. Do you want the rest of my sandwich? I saw you looking at it Hey cheeky dog. Okay, so Harlow doesn't really know what a water bottle is She just knows she has to grab the item in the corner but obviously she thought that item was the Ranch since it's so close so yeah, sometimes she does bring me the wrong item She's brought me the chocolate syrup before and the salad dressing So now she's brought me the Ranch as well usually she always brings me the water But it's always a good laugh when you bring me something else funny dog That's why we always put the water in the same place right here we also have multiple bottles to populate this area of the shelf, but of course I have one over by the couch where I needed it earlier today Silly dog Beep Beep! Watch out.
So, Harlow actually has a 'watch out' command where if I told her 'watch out', she will get up and move out of the way, because Obviously sometimes it's not safe for me to step over her cause I might fall Or if I need her to move away from the walker Also The walker is a good tool for me to use on chronic pain, like bad chronic pain days because my pain can make me unstable and easily fall and if I get enough pain my legs can actually give out so the walker helps with stability And if it's really bad I'll use the wheelchair, so there's lots of tools you can use when you have chronic pain and some people might feel embarrassed to use mobility aids but I just see them as another tool to help with my chronic illness battle Hippo has too many toys Judd: Hippo you have too many toys Jaquie: Look at this they're all over the place Judd: They've always been all over the place Now there's more since her birthday
Judd: It's like the same amount No she has like eight more toys since her birthday. My gosh Judd is off to get a haircut Judd's stealing you guys! Bye! Camera! We're gonna go do stuff! Problem with owning a diesel truck is wait to start. Wait to start Air conditioning! Oh my God it's so hot So this is actually my first pickup truck I've ever owned but I have had bigger, large SUV's in the past Which is one...The Ford Expedition - I daresay I'm particular to Ford but I really don't care about trucks They're.. I just - I just love them all.
They're all good. Got my haircut! Oh looking all nice and the way I wanted and now we're off to get copies of keys made Because...Uh We're going to give a pair to our really close friends Paul and Janiece 'cause they're over here quite a bit So...Off we go to Ace Hardware Got my keys and stuff and look how huge this chair is! Hashtag the big red chair (#TheBigRedChair) Let's see what it looks like when you sit in it Oh shit! It's...It's huge It's just massive, as you can see It's.. It - look! My armrest is up there. I'm just going to skeet out through here That thing is huge! Mom, do you like Judd's -
Are you going to the pool? No he's not going to the pool He's going to wash Harlow *Laughter* Well it could be the same *More laughter* Oh my mum My mum asked if the shorts Judd was wearing were his or mine Take a guess mum Well I mean He is skinny, you could wear those shorts too They're his shorts They're his shorts *Laughter* You're ready for Hippo? Is Hippo ready for me? Probably not She does not look motivated *Laughter*
Judd: Harlow come here Come on! It's her favorite part Jaquie's Mum: Yeah? Yeah her favorite part is the towel And of course Judd put the hose on himself again So they're both soaking wet See she follows him for the towel *Laughter* Okay I don't want (her) to touch me *laughter* Oh, she found a toy Harlow you're looking scraggly, and she did not get the zoomies like she usually does after her bath She took a nap like Judd did.
Judd: Mm-hmm Sleepy dog So, my mum's offered to take Judd and I.
Out to dinner tonight Unfortunately, we can't bring Harlow because she's soaking wet and I could really use her tonight because my chronic pain is more than it usually is and something about chronic pain: I've been laughing today, and smiling and It may look like I'm fine on the outside but chronic pain warriors Especially when they've been dealing with their pain for a long time like may have been dealing with it for years and years we become experienced in how to Look fine on the outside although we may be suffering on the inside That's just something we learn how to do and it's not a lie, I am enjoying my day but the pain is still here. So, may look fine but there's definitely still pain. I just do my best to keep moving forward even though I'm having a higher than usual pain day. So, in preparation for dinner I took an Erythromycin which is an antibiotic that stimulates digestion and motility.
I can't take it very often at all but every once in a while and now I'm going to dose an IV Zofran through my port so with the anti-nausea meds and the Erythromycin hopefully I'll be able to eat well tonight when we go out So I just paused my infusion Connect the medicine push it through because I touched this I gotta clean it it's not sterile anymore Connect it back up. Run my infusion and By the time we get to the restaurant that should be working So we're just going to a restaurant really close to home All good! Mashed potatoes for me Shrimp salad for my mum. I tried a shrimp it was good. Thank you for taking us, mum and uh, wow, you already ate half of yours Judd: Some kind of chicken wrap You must be hungry, Mister Did you miss us Hippo? You were so good here, thank you Harlow loves you *affectionate crooning but not in english* Well we had a great day I pushed through the pain, enjoyed time with family, Harlow brought me some Ranch.
Judd: I sat on a huge red chair And that's it. Thanks for joining us on our adventure. Thank you! Judd: On our adventure! Oh my God *Laughter*.
This 16th century woodblock shows fisherman
pulling a big netload of hibernating swallows from a frozen-over lake. If you haven't heard
about how swallows hibernate through the winter at the bottom of lakes, it's because they
don't. But, for thousands of years, hibernation was one of the leading theories to explain
where birds went between fall and spring. Another theory was that the birds left entirely
and flew far away for the winter -- we call this "migration" -- but they didn't have a
clue where the birds would go.
For example, a pamphlet from 1703 suggested that they went
to the moon. The first real clues about where migratory
birds actually go during the winter -- hint: it's not the moon or the bottom of a frozen
lake -- came around 1900, thanks to a Danish teacher's technique of attaching marked aluminum
rings to birds' legs and then re-releasing them. Each recapture or sighting of a banded
bird put a dot on the map, and soon, long-distance earthly migrations were confirmed when a White
stork that had been banded in Hungary was found dead in South Africa. But banding can
only tell researchers about single points along a bird's migratory path -- not what
happens BETWEEN those points.
More recently, researchers finally started
to get a better view -- a bird's-eye view, in fact -- of these annual migrations, when
a bald eagle in Maryland was captured and fitted with a transmitter powerful enough
to send signals to a pair of orbiting satellites. Satellite tracking revealed details of some
remarkable migrations, like the bar-tailed godwit's annual flight from Alaska to New
Zealand, during which the bird covers 11,000 km in about eight days without a single stop.
But there's a serious limitation to satellite tracking devices: even with modern technology,
transmitters with enough oomph to send signals to satellites are still far too heavy for
small songbirds. A slight improvement is to use gps recorders,
which can be smaller because they receive rather than send signals to satellites -- but
they're still too heavy for the smallest birds. Luckily, scientists have been clever enough
to realize they don't need satellite tracking at all! Instead, we can fit birds with a tiny
light-level recorder, clock, and memory chip, which together weigh as much as a raisin.
Lightweight light-recorders don't broadcast so we need to recapture the birds to get the
data, but we can then use ancient navigation methods to reconstruct the bird's daily location
over the course of its journey: the length of each day is an indicator of latitude, and
the time halfway between sunset and sunrise (that is, noon) is an indicator of longitude.
These clever geolocators have shed light on
the world's speediest migration: the Great snipe, which weighs about 170 grams (half
a can of soda-pop), high-tails it from Sweden to Central Africa in just three days, averaging
95 km per hour. Another marathon migrator, the Arctic tern,
has long been credited with the longest migration for its annual round-trip flight between the
Arctic and Antarctican estimated 40,000 km. But recent data from light-level geolocators
show that terns actually travel more than twice as far each year, possibly to take advantage
of prevailing winds. This means that arctic terns can rack up over
2 and a half million kilometers of flight in a lifetime -- enough for three round trips
to the moon.
But as far as we know, they haven't actually made it there yet..
The Iguana kinfolk is insight-involving the sought after of the lizard families. The biggest equal old are the eco-friendly iguanas. But there are as nicely simply a range of with colourful skin, they're is legendary with ease because the crimson iguana.

2. Right Feeding
Iguanas in precise historical are herbivores and would possibly a lot likely more than likely more than likely in all opportunity in all opportunity simply smartly anyway take delivery of form of an extraordinarily ideal deal of vegetable and result. The bulk of the burden loss weight loss diet should contain eco-friendly leafy greens related to mustard greens, escarole, kale, and spinach. But it as nicely is top to feed them with limited choice of protein rich vitamin. You as nicely would possibly even be offering mixed vegetable like eco-friendly peppers, squash, frozen mixed greens and eco-friendly beans, and result like, bananas, mangoes, and apples. Like one of a kind pets, iguanas wish to be fed each and every and each and day by day.
three. Appropriate Amount of Water
Water is the utmost acceptable calls for of the iguanas, for this purpose it wish to be with ease internal the market.

My name is Gerrit Vyn and Im a cinematographer
and photographer for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Much of my work over the last 10 years or
so has focused on shorebirds. To film or photograph or record these birds
you really need to know their natural history and their lifecycle because theyre at different
places doing different things at very specific times of the year. One of the most interesting parts of their
lifecycle is spent in the far north in the arctic and sub-arctic on the breeding grounds
where they become these very independent territorial birds and they pair up very quickly to take
advantage of the brief arctic summer to raise the next generation.
The rest of the year they are in these wheeling
social flocks travelling the globe on long distance migrations. But for this brief time each year their, their
plumage becomes more beautiful, they have these amazing vocalizations and courtship
displays, and they work together as pairs for the purpose of raising their young. Among all these different shorebird species
there is one species, the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, that everyone who is fascinated by shorebirds
wants to see. Historically its been one of the hardest
shorebirds to find.
They breed in remote areas in Chukotka in
the Russian Far East and winter in isolated places scattered throughout Southeast Asia. In recent years it became very clear that
populations of this species were drastically declining. Thirty years ago there were thousands of Spoon-billed
Sandpipers. Today there are only a few hundred of them
left.
Several years ago I was sent to film this
bird on the breeding grounds and I spent several months of the summer up there following these
individuals as they courted and nested. While I was in Russia I also had the chance
to film nesting Red Knots. They are beautiful russet shorebirds, larger
than a Spoon-billed Sandpiper and they are extremely well camouflaged and they rely on
this camouflage to remain undetected during the period when they are sitting on the nest. So they are very hard to find.
The song of the male Red Knot displaying over
the tundra is one of the most beautiful sounds Ive ever heard in the far north. The champion of all these long distance migrants
is the Bar-tailed Godwit. Particularly populations of Bar-tailed Godwits
that nest in Alaska. I filmed them on the breeding grounds on the
Yukon Delta.
Both the male and female godwit incubate the
eggs, roughly on 12 hour shifts. I watched a female walk in toward a male cautiously
after flying in from a distance and very gently with this long beak she brushed the feathers
on his back letting him know it was time for him to get up and for her to get on the nest. When youre witnessing something like this
it is hard not to deeply feel for these birds as individuals. When you see this commitment to their nest
and to their young you develop a strong caring for these birds and an even deeper fascination
for the things that they are able to do.
When shorebird chicks hatch they are able
to feed on their own immediately - they are never fed by their parents. At birth they have really well developed legs,
feet and beaks the most important things for them when it comes to moving around, staying
safe and feeding. And they grow very rapidly. One of the most fascinating things about these
shorebird chicks is that they are not led south by their parents.
As soon as the eggs hatch, or shortly there
after, the female migrates south. Leaving the male to care for and lead the
chicks for several weeks before he also departs and heads south. Once these tiny birds can fly and have put
on some fat they will head south on their own. Unlike some other bird species shorebird migration
routes are innate they arent learned from their parents or from other birds they
are etched into their DNA through tens of thousands of years of evolution.
Long distance migrant shorebirds like these
from across eastern Russia and parts of Alaska migrate south, many of them for vast distances,
to winter in the southern hemisphere or tropics through what is collectively known as the
East Asian-Australasian Flyway. A route that several million birds use in
the fall and then again on their return trip north in the spring because it has such reliable
areas for feeding along the way. Most of the individuals for many of these
species go through the Yellow Sea and for many of them it is their only stop on their
northward or southward migration. Thirty-six species of shorebirds in all use
the wetlands and intertidal mudflats around the Yellow Sea during parts of their migration.
The sea is bounded by the Koreas to one side
and China to the other side and its vast intertidal mudflats are extremely productive for marine
life. Each year during spring and fall there are
locations where you can see tens of thousands of these shorebirds congregating in predictable
areas where food is abundant year after year. There is one place on earth where you have
a great chance of seeing a Spoon-billed Sandpiper even though there are only a few hundred left
today and thats the Rudong mudflats in China 5000 kilometers from the nest that
I filmed in Russia. I went there in the fall as the birds were
moving through during the time of the year when they are fattening up.
I was lucky enough to find several individuals
that I was able to film. The most unique thing about a Spoon-billed
Sandpiper is its spoon shaped bill. It primarily forages in the soupiest of mud
where its flattened bill passes easily from side to side and it uses its bill tacitly
to locate food items in the mud. The beak is packed with sensory receptors
that help it quickly locate large prey items like small shrimp and crabs that arent
typically a major part of the diet of other shorebirds its size.
Many of these shorebird species are specifically
evolved to take advantage of certain types of prey that are seasonally or locally abundant
and you can see this specialization just by looking at their unique beaks. It's easy to look out at mudflats and think
they are all the same and they all contain the same types of organisms but like any shell
fisherman knows you go to the places where you have the best chance of finding the most
food in the shortest amount of time. The coarseness and types of sediment, the
salinity, the currents, and the available nutrients all play a role in determining the
abundance and types of organisms found in the mud and for the Spoon-billed Sandpiper,
the Rudong mudflats, fed by sediments from the Yangtze River, create the best conditions for the type of organisms they specialize in catching. For certain populations of Red Knots that migrate from the Russian Arctic, unique conditions on the mudflats at Bohai Bay produce the type of food that they specialize in.
The Red Knots beak is kind of a mid length beak they are not probing very deep into the mud or skimming things from the surface but feeling just an inch or so into the mudflat to the depth where small bivalves congregate. And they have an enlarged gizzard that they use to crush shells very efficiently and process them. In the areas favored by Spoon-billed Sandpipers these high densities of small bivalves dont exist so the Red Knots dont go there. The Bar-tailed Godwit makes one of the most impressive migratory flights of any bird.
They depart Alaska in the fall and make a 7, 8, 9 day non-stop flight over the open Pacific Ocean to New Zealand. What many people dont know about their migration is that on the way back virtually the entire Alaska population stops at a small area of the Yellow Sea coast at a place called Yalujiang. Theyll spent up to a month there, fattening up again before taking off to make another nonstop flight back to Alaska to breed. At Yalujiang you can see huge flocks, tens of thousands of these godwits, in the spring as theyre moving north.
The soft rich sediments there produce an abundance of deep burrowing marine worms and large shellfish and a substrate good for probing. Watching a Bar-tailed Godwit forage with its incredibly long beak digging very deep into the mud to the point where its head is even getting buried its amazing to watch how efficient they are at locating these food items at some of these locations. Theyre able to locate and swallow many many prey items in a short amount of time. In order to efficiently put on fat and in order to complete their migrations these birds are relying on mudflats with dense food concentrations.
Tens of thousands of years of evolution have determined that this place at Yalujiang is the place where they can find the most food in the shortest amount of time. And for the other 36 species of shorebirds that rely on intertidal mudflats and wetlands of the Yellow Sea it is clear that it is not the vast intertidal areas of the Yellow Sea that are critical to bird life but its these very productive areas within the Yellow Sea that these birds are genetically programmed to go to that are critical to their survival. The Yellow Sea is quite literally the hub of this entire flyway. It is the location that many of these bird species and populations of birds depend on to complete their migrations to their wintering areas and then back to their breeding areas.
Without this critical location none of this would be possible. These migrants from Alaska, from much of Russia, from Australia, New Zealand, Myanmar, Southeast Asia they all depend on the Yellow Seas enormously productive intertidal mudflats..
There are a few iconic places in North America
that everybody thinks about as being, literally, the treasures of our continent. And these are places that we tend to put National
Park boundaries around and say we've embraced these as the great timeless centers of North
America. We have one of these centers absolutely every
bit as important, arguably more so from a living standpoint, in the delta system. The Mississippi Delta is one of the richest wetland
communities on planet Earth, fed by a half a continents worth of nutrients that are coming
down the river and then spread out there across these different habitats, obviously gaining
energy from the sun in these shallow water environments.
The total biomass, just the amount of living
organisms that is in there in the water is beyond imagination. You can see that because some of these breeding
colonies of birds have thousands and thousands of breeding pairs, packed together just in
the tops of a few mangroves, just trying to get enough space to raise their babies; and
they're raising two or three babies each. And what are they doing there? Why are they there? Every one of those is out there spending the
day sampling the fish, sampling the invertebrate community, sampling the snakes and turtles
and frogs. So that huge community is telling us that
the delta itself, the marsh systems out there are teeming with life.
As you go down through the delta you start
from one of the most iconic American habitats that there is: the cypress swamp forest of
the south. Wading birds, various species of heron and
ibis love to roost in these trees. Those wading birds will spend the day dispersing
out into the surrounding swamps, feeding on fish and frogs and so on, then coming back
together and living overnight in a squawking madhouse in the top of these trees. Just downstream, so to speak, from the cypress
forest but still in that freshwater environment of the upper delta you get freshwater marshes.
The deeper water areas of the freshwater marshes
out there are of course enormously important as wintering grounds for North Americas
duck populations. A lot of the big rookeries of wading birds
along the Mississippi Delta are right there at that interface between fresh and salt water. When you get farther down into the pure saltwater
marshes these are places that looks like just nothing but grass but actually are enormously
diverse in terms of their invertebrate fauna, which we use as a rich fishing industry and
shrimping industry, but which those birds -- they're going out there and feeding on
every one of those different size classes of organisms. Ultimately all of those are fed by the huge
fertility and productivity of the marsh systems that are right there at the interface between
the delta and the sea.
The amazing thing about the barrier islands
that are off the delta is that that's where the beaches are, and those barrier islands
supply the bulk of the habitat on which these birds breed. The barrier islands aren't very big. And yet there's tens of thousands of pelicans
and skimmers and terns and gulls that are trying to breed out there, and so one gets
these enormous, dense breeding colonies. And there's one big dominant reason for that:
the seabird strategy is to nest on places that are very, very hard to get to for a predator.
And so, where you have concentrations of island
like that in amidst all of this unbelievable diversity of food, you get these just staggering
colonies of birds. These barrier islands are actually pretty
small and the kinds of birds that are using them are so diverse that the birds actually
kind of divide the habitat into strata, so to speak. The mangroves are particularly favorite places
for pelicans to both roost and to build their nests. There are also a number of herons that will
nest up in the mangroves, up in the higher things well off the ground.
When you get down into the lower vegetation,
the grasses, you get terns nesting in there and some gulls that will nest in there. And then you get out to just where its almost
just pure bare sand, and you get the black skimmer that puts its eggs right there on
the sand, nesting in quite dense colonies. These birds always are touching water: they're
wading in it, they're bathing in it, they're feeding from it, they're walking along the
edge of it. Their young are coming out of the nests and
being plopped into it.
These are birds that for their entire lifecycle
have direct physical contact with the water. The shorebird group as a whole - all pretty
closely related to each other although they go way back in evolutionary time - but they
are remarkably distinct from one another in what they do. Some of them almost look identical and yet
they do different things. They have different sized bills - some are
a little shorter-billed, some are a little longer-billed.
They have different sized legs - some are
really stubby legs, some of them are quite long-legs. And they actually have different methods of
foraging for food. So they can actually get quite specialized
with this combination of leg-length and bill-length and bill-shape and habitat. Between all those different variables you
can end up dividing the resources out there pretty efficiently and pretty finely.
There are spots where a myriad of birds drop
in both on their way south for the wintertime, but also on their way back north in the spring,
garnering resources, putting on fat, getting themselves ready to either have a successful
breeding season in the summertime or have a successful flight down to their wintering
homes further south in the tropics. So it's a stopover place, it's a place of
transition for even more birds than this huge hoard of species and individuals that we see
during the breeding season. This really is a region of the United States
that is unique on the planet in its diversity, in its importance both to the natural systems
out here and to the humans that live in the region..
