Love everything! Can you go into more detail on where you construct these ponds? In sun? Shade? How close to treeline? Pump sizes? Mosquito management? Do you have to clean the pumps periodically? I have 13 acres & would like to replicate your ponds.

Sigh....always such a soothing delight to watch the "watering hole" and see who shows up and how they interact. As usual, the Caroline Chickadee was a bit of a bully and the Tufted Titmouse (mice?) know how to hog the pond. Lessons in group dynamics! Thanks again for bringing some birdie beauty to my Sunday!

You have so many different birds. The birds around here are slowly getting used to the pebble pond and the pond has brought out a couple of different birds that I wouldn’t otherwise see. Also 2 weeks ago a rufous hummingbird has shown up here and that’s a rare treat. When the hummingbird numbers pick up right before they leave for winter it will be interesting to see if there is more than one rufous. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the fall migration birds.

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.

My goodness!! It's a busy time!! I feel so privileged to get to see all these birds. The warblers are just lovely. They are indeed persistent, and it's a good thing or they'd never get a turn. I never realized how feisty the Chickadees can be til watching these videos. The crabby one needed to have it's morning coffee and regroup 😄. I can't imagine who will show up next but I'm sure looking forward to whatever surprises may come. Just think of what we'd be missing if you hadn't built those water features and mounted the cameras. THANK YOU!! Have a great week!! 🥰🌿♥️

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.

@WarblerRidge7 күн бұрын
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.

Hummingbird bath! The male cerulean warbler has a lovely color. The vireo is so fast and weird. I'd never heard of some of these birds like the vireo, the redstart, and the parula before watching your videos. And some I'd heard of but never seen. Are some cardinals fluffy and some not?
@WarblerRidge8 күн бұрын
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!

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!

I guess they were named during the spring/summer months? So part of the year the Scarlet Tanagers are yellow tanagers. So weird. And the male Summer Tanagers stay red. The bunting is cute! Splish splash, birds are taking a bath. The dove was thirsty and then gave us a close up view.

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!

I live in the suburbs but have done so many things in my yard to naturlize it for the birds, bees and butterflies. Also have toads and frog ponds. I get such a thrill when migrating birds stop by for a quick visit!

You've motivated me to make this pond. I order all the "ingredients " yoi used:) This video is with the small pump linked in Amazon right? The under $50 mini pond?!
@WarblerRidge13 күн бұрын
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.

I just wanted to thank you as you DIY pebble pond recently showed up in my KZbin feed. I have now made me a pebble pond and it’s still a work in progress until I get it exactly as I want it. The birds seem a bit of afraid of it yet but have had a couple of bathers and I was most excited to see an oriole as I don’t sure them until migration starts. Again thank you for taking the time to make the DIY video.
@WarblerRidge13 күн бұрын
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.
