No Bradford Pears please. Invasive species that crowd out native trees!

Saw my first ever today!

Just now starting to really see the Blue Jays @ our farm in Texas; thanks for the tips so hopefully, I can bring more in. xo

Beautiful!! I played this for me beautiful backyard birdies this evening....and they LOVED every song!!! Thank you! ❤❤❤

Great blue bird video. I have a couple taking up residence right now.

For a kid without real shop tools you did great!!

i saw a mourning dove on my window at 05.12, it got me wondered how many bird i will get when i set up a bird feeder around at my area...

Could you please give me examples of perches that they use?

Thank you!

*Mourning dove (not morning). I actually found your video looking for what type of bird I heard this morning. It sounded almost like the sound of whistling at a pretty woman. Any idea?

I had a bluebird family in my nesting house. It was on a fence post close to my house, facing south. It was very protected. My husband and I were so excited to have baby birds. We could hear them chirping for food. Mommy and daddy were working hard to feed them, I took a picture of mommy and daddy perched on the house That afternoon, I could hear the little babies. Mommy and daddy were busy. I was away all day and when I returned I didn't hear the babies. Fearing they were dead, I opened the nesting box . And there was the problem.... a rat snake was curled up in the best and had eaten the babies. I was so sad. I had protected the nesting box since their birth and in just a couple of hours, a predator held them hostage! I realize what a miracle it is to see a bluebird family together. It won't happen again! We moved the box on a PVC pipe and place a slinky around the pipe to scare any predator away. I hope and pray the bluebirds return and try again.

Thing is this woodpecker doesn't have a speck of red on it's belly - it's got a orange/red head though and they are beautiful birds.

Very lovely..I also have alot of verified spies of unusual birds, just saw an Indigo Bunting.

See these birds all the time as I live in Central Maryland myself. I live in Bowie which is in central Maryland.

Nice and easy build for a bird house thanks!

Hi Carson. In your experience, what seems to be the cardinals’ most favorite seed?

Can't gray squirrels climb up the wood to access the suet? If you use a longer 2x4 and add a baffle below the feeder that should keep the squirrels out.

Can't keep the house wrens from taking over the bluebird houses

Great videos!

Thanks Carson

What’s the bird in the background at the hummingbird bit?

Looooove your videos ♥️♥️♥️

How small are the carolina chickadees? I was in Fort Washington park and saw a tiny bird in the tree. By the time I tried to snap a picture, it flew away. It was smaller and slimmer than a house sparrow.

Thank you for this video I really enjoyed it learned a lot

Thank you for these tips. Pygmy nuthatches are in the yard, and now I know how to help them.

They love the dried meal worms I've been laying out. Now I have babies in my back yard.

Thank you! I have feeders up at my new place, early spring, feeders up and refreshing my memories to ID them!! The birds are listening too! 🥰 Remiding me of the mornings, sitting with my dad! He always had feeders and could identify them! Thanks!! ❤️

Wow! I think I will start my tomatoes inside now and move to outside later! 😮

👍👍👍

🐦Wonderful bird footage, thanks for sharing!🕊

A house Sparrow flew in my window yesterday while I resting and was chilling on my leg, it was a good moment❤

Great work Carson!

Morning dove is the most iconic.

Good video, but as someone else commented please don't plant Bradford pear. Also consider greasing the poles the boxes are on or adding baffles, otherwise you might be just feeding raccoons.

I wish there were information on what types of bird feeders are best for deterring sparrows, while drawing in other birds. I understand that sparrows need to be standing and can't really hover or cling to a feeder when eating.

When I'm lucky enough to get them, they like peanuts and blueberries.

Mowing grass doesn't increase insects, it destroys them. Way too much mowing happening already. Mowing should be discouraged

Thanks!!

i miss my home in northern VA :( same birds..

If we want to put up a few bluebird houses, how far apart do they need to be. Our existing bluebird house is 6 feet off the ground, is that to low? We have seen bluebird use this house, build ther nest with pine straw but never have seen the babies? Any tips, Thanks, Bill

We're having a mild winter here in northern Wi. this year 2024 I just started feeding the wild birds again chickadees hurridly grab up the seeds and stash them nearby.goldfinches nuthatches woodpeckers and blue jays making a ruckus drew in a flock of ceder waxwings what a sight they circled around then came in. though I've only seen them eating apple blossoms and wild berries in spring and summer.The darn hawks perch over the pond preventing the wood ducks from nesting there one year they had a brood and passed through the yard to the flowing creek. Ah a slice of Heaven.

✨🕊️✨PVC for the best box works nicely. Squirrel 🐿️ love the glue in plywood so remember when building the boxes. Adding pitching sticks with a blue color. Wasn’t long ago they were endangered. Love your post and wish everyone success ✨🕊️✨

I`m mass planting black oil and striped seeds this year in the nearby goldenrod field and along my 600 ft driveway. There`s a mama deer living here though and she passes through my yard and I see where she grazes the wild lettuce in the area. I successfully grew a few sunflowers from bird seed last year despite the armadillos destroying most. They uprooted both my attempts at very expensive (7 bucks a pack) mammoth sunflower seed packs. So I planted black oil and striped seeds from bird seed to see if they`d grow.

I noticed the dark eyed junco with the first snow storm. I used a bird identification app that listens for chirps and it was spot on! It’s called Merlin bird ID. I highly recommend it! Thanks for the bird videos 😊

Nice video - enjoyed! I like both birding and gardening, so I am subscribing. I put together my first bird video the other week. It was fun, and the weather was cold, cold. The birds were in overdrive on the feeders. I have a question for you (being a gardener), can you propagate Washington Hawthorns from cuttings? I have one tree, and I'd like to get some cuttings from it and plant a row of the Hawthorns for the birds and also to provide a hedge.

These type pf videos are so relaxing for me….. I used to live in Maryland and these sounds bring me back to a simpler time….Thank You!

It’s important to use peanut butter that doesn’t have too many additives, especially salt. Too much salt is not good for birds especially if you don’t have water nearby to keep them hydrated

Hands down, the best bird box mounting system I used. Red bellied woodpeckers are my favorite bird, and I build boxes for them a lot. I have trouble with squirrels getting in however. Why are ALL the copper rings that go around bird boxes only made in 1.25" for bluebirds?

I Love and welcome them❤❤
