★★★ · Social Woodpeckers? · JayKay49 · 2013-11-17
Never seen woodpeckers other then solitary and the ones I've seen avoid people at all costs. I have also never seen chickadees so clustered together let alone on ones hand. I wonder how they did this. Couldn't imagine boys these days constructing bird houses like the kids in this film do. Chiseling out logs and driving those nails. Perhaps they already have several years seniority at the local carpentry mill or box factory.

Okay film about "songbirds" except it's not really all about songbirds (like the woodpecker definitely isn't), and features scenes of kids in the audibon society making treehouses, insect problems farmers face and how some birds help with it. There are some great shots of the birds though, looks like the cameraman built up a lot of trust.
