I don’t think I’ve ever had such nice close up video of one either. I’ve only had them here a few times. I was really excited when I saw it!

🍁🏒🐦🙂

So true. We all need to do what we can.

I’ve never seen a Rufus Hummingbird! That’s so neat! Give your pool time. I built my first bird pond here 12 years ago and the number and variety of birds that visit has grown slowly over the years.

Have fun out there! I hope you see some good birds. I’m jealous of the Common Yellow-throats. That’s one of the warblers I haven’t seen here yet.

I sooo look forward to this time of year. The warblers are such fun little birds to watch. I love how they flit around and that they tend to travel around together, so all of a sudden, there’s a bird pond full of birds. Fun! Thanks for watching and have a great week.

I just love the little warblers. Thanks for watching!

Feels like fall today. Highs in the 70s!

Thanks for watching!

No, that one is gone. It had problems with algae. Not sure if it was because there wasn’t enough water movement or because it was in fun sun. Probably a little bit of both.

The cardinals were just fluffed up because they had been bathing. I think they fluff out their feathers to help them dry. Thanks for watching!

@@WarblerRidge Oh. Thanks.

Thank you ☺️

Smartest bird of the batch 🙂

Thank you very much! Hope you have a great week too 🙂

Keep an eye out for them. Fall seems to be the best time to see them around here. They move around in mixed flocks. Listen for a bunch of those warbler “chip” calls. Maybe this will be the year you spot some!

Rainy here too. Good luck with your search!

You too!

I’m constantly learning new things about them from the close up views, too 🙂 Thanks for watching!

So many birds look completely different in the fall and winter. It is weird. And confusing 😄. But I think it’s also challenging and kind of fun to try and figure it all out. Thanks for watching!

@@wordsisnukes they’re great birds 🙂

Well, how about that! Neat

Thanks for watching!

That’s me too. I’m not expert but I love birds and try to learn about the ones that visit my property. I post a new birds video every Sunday Morning at 6am eastern time.

Thank you! I love to see the migrating birds too. The first of the fall warblers just started to arrive here this week. A little earlier than usual. So exciting! Good luck with all your habitat projects, I'm sure the birds and other critters will appreciate your efforts.

This video is actually a larger water feature that uses a bigger pump. I built this one about 12 years ago, long before I started doing KZbin, so I didn’t have any “how-to” video about making it. But people often ask about making something similar for themselves, so I made the mini pond and did the DIY video for that. Although this pond is larger, all of the birds that come to this one, including the Tanagers, also visited my mini pond. The birds seem to really be attracted to small pools like that. Good luck with your project! I hope it brings you and your birds lots of enjoyment.

You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching! Always nice to hear that people enjoy the videos. I enjoy making them.

I’m jealous about the Oriole! One of my favorite birds but I don’t see them very often. Your birds should get used to the new pond pretty quickly. If they still seem wary of using it, make sure there are some perches nearby for them to sit on to check things out before getting in. A few branches places around the edges works well for that.
