chipperatl Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I think I found the oddest one (although I see moviemistakes.com has it identified as an error also). Willow Ptarmigan calling in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. 2:00 into below clip. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoroark Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Ever since listening for birds in movies, Laughing Kookaburras and Red-tailed Hawks have gotten obnoxious. I've also noticed various thrushes are quite common in generic bird ambiance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Top Gear/Grand Tour/Clarkson’s Farm (best TV show ever), have caused me to love Red Kites. They always have some great shots of other birds also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Not a movie, but I recently got a Nintendo Switch and am playing Zelda:Breath of the Wild. There are a ton of fairly accurately placed NA bird calls in there. Chickadees during the day, Whip-poor-wills at night. I can also take photos of "Lifer" birds in there that I think are fictional (haven't looked it up).🤣 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I found a place called "Warbler's Nest" (still need to figure it out), which naturally was followed by finding nearby Rito Village. Also found this video of bird sounds from the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitch58 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I'm currently watching a show on the National Geographic Channel about Biscayne National Park in Florida & in the background of the narration Prairie Warblers are singing almost constantly. I was wondering are they really that common there? They aren't the first bird that comes to mind for the habitat, don't really picture them as being common among the mangroves. I thought they might have just dubbed it in after filming but don't know for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to an ebird checklist (https://ebird.org/checklist/S138042393), they are the most abundant passerine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperatl Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Continental Divide with John Belushi. He travels to the Rockies to write a story about a lady studying Bald Eagles. They go to find one of the juveniles and it is footage of an adult Golden Eagle. The Eagle eventually lands in a nest with 2 fairly obvious Bald Eagle decoys on the nest. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitch58 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Was watching Dances With Wolves the other day & in one scene the protagonist Lt. John Dunbar arrives at his new post Fort Hays in South Dakota in the 1860's. The fort was abandoned & as he's exploring the empty buildings he startles a Eurasian Collared Dove which flies off. Considering they were accidentally introduced to North America in 1974 this would be a pretty good sighting for the 1860's. Hope he reported it to eBird 😉. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of a question I can't seem to find a concrete answer to- how many years does it really take for juvenile Bald Eagles to achieve fully adult plumage?

According to Sibley & Crossley 4-5 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
