Скачать или смотреть Wild Turkey Ascends, Eats From West Texas Feeder! – Dec. 18, 2019

The West Texas Feeder cam received its biggest visitor to date when this Wild Turkey ascended from a backyard fence to gobble down some seeds from one of the hanging feeders. These big, spectacular game birds are an increasingly common sight around the U.S. and Mexico, as flocks stride around woods and clearings like miniature dinosaurs.

Watch live at http://allaboutbirds.org/texashummers for more information about hummingbirds and highlights from the feeders.

The West Texas Hummingbird Feeder Cam is sponsored by Perky-Pet®.

**********************************

The West Texas Hummingbird Feeder Cam is nestled in the mountains outside Fort Davis, Texas, at an elevation of over 5800 feet. This site hosts a total of 30 hummingbird feeders, and during peak migration can attract hundreds of hummingbirds from a dozen species that are migrating through the arid mountains.

For over 10 years, researchers from West Texas Avian Research have been banding hummingbirds at this site and others throughout the Trans-Pecos region of Texas to study the status and distribution of hummingbirds throughout the poorly known region. The active banding of hummingbirds continues (off camera) at this site in the Davis Mountains, and from time to time you may hear researchers working in the background. Some common species in you may hear vocalizing include Woodhouse's Scrub Jays, Acorn Woodpeckers, and Bewick's Wrens (among others).


Thanks to West Texas Avian Research for their enthusiasm and support for hosting the camera at this remote research site.
