This guy rocks! Some of the answers he refused to give direct conclusions because he wished for "you" the viewer to go out and find the truth. He's pointed multiple times towards a birding guide book, or going outside and finding the answers yourself through observation. He isn't just providing answers, he encourages better answers through self-initiated journey. He gave everyone who watched, the tools to stop asking other people and begin asking questions to ourselves that we can answer through the tools he gave. BRILLIANT teacher!

A couple things that were not mentioned. 1. One hypothesis about why birds lack teeth. It's a weight thing, bird beaks are made of keratin (same material as your nails) if you wanna be aerodynamic you're going to have to be lighter, every gram counts 2. Birds have the most effecient respiratory system of any animal on earth. They are actually able to oxygenate their blood as they exhale!

That's very cool. Some of my favorite owl encounters have been in the snow, which already dampens sound around you. National Audubon Society says: "Owl feathers have a leading edge shaped like a comb and a trailing edge with a fringe; these funnel air smoothly over the wing and dampen the sound. An owl's enormous wings, relative to its body size, also provide greater lift and enable it to fly slowly-as few as two miles per hour."

Red tail hawks can turn their heads 270 degrees like the owls, too. I have a family of red tail hawks that lives in the tree above my backyard. The parents have been returning to the same tree and nest for the past 5 years now. They always land either on my patio chairs or on my fence and watch the birds and squirrels that feed at our backyard feeders. The other day I went to go take a picture of the hawk and was walking behind it to get a good picture and it surprisingly turned its head completely around to follow me. It was pretty cool to see and caught me off guard because I thought Owls were the only birds who could do this.
