I'm anxious to return in the late spring. He gets so many critters besides birds. I have bird baths in my yard, but when it gets below freezing, I have to turn them upside down to get the ice out. I'm not able to connect a heater to them.

Glad you enjoyed the video!

I like to add a tree or other vegetation in the view sometimes to mix it up. Thanks for the comment. Can't wait to check out more of your videos!

The colors are so beautiful many times. I love the sunrise each time it's visible, but sometimes it's just the plain old sun! :)

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed the little ice skater. They sure do adjust to all sorts of weather conditions. Have a great day.

Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Most times my sunrises are along the coast with the wetlands or ocean as the backdrop, but this particular morning, I wanted to change things up a bit. Have a great day.

Those smaller birds with perching feet seem to do better than the ducks with their webbed feet! I've seen ducks and geese on ice sliding a bit more probably due to the surface of their feet being larger. On Thursday, all of the ice was gone again, and there was more water in Fleetwood Pond and along the path with all the rain we got.

@@BookWyrm1060 especially if they get caught in a breeze.

@@riversandcoffee wow. I'm going to look that one up. Always love learning about new species. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🥰

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love just standing off to the side watching the birds feasting on the seeds. Some are so cute when they hang upside down.

I had never known they do this until I researched it after watching the fox. It was digging for over five minutes before it found something! It was nice to be sitting in my car while it was busy with its morning. Not sure if you're ever driven down Oyster Rocks Road, but this is at the end of that road. Except for really cold days, there is usually something going on in the early morning hours. It's near Hudson Fields along Route 1.

@Wondering_About_Nature Thanks, I've never driven down there before so I will have to check it out.

Me, too. Although I see them each year, when the first ones arrive, it's like I'm seeing (and hearing) them for the first time. Thanks for stopping by!

Glad you enjoyed it. It's been fun putting a sunrise video together for each Sunday. Thanks for the comment.

I love when there are a few clouds on the horizon at sunrise since it makes it a bit more dramatic. Thanks for the comment.

@@Wondering_About_Nature Thank you so much for joining as a member. I really appreciate that! I'll have a shoutout for your channel in in my Bombay hook video that goes up tomorrow at 3pm.

@@hikingoutdoorfamily You're channel is so informative and enjoyable. I look forward to looking over your past content and your new stuff, too! You're so welcome.

I love how the birds can hang on them and pick the seeds from the gum balls. Since most of the leaves have fallen, it's much easier to see the birds and their acrobatic moves. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. These birds are so plentiful right now and are so busy moving from tree to tree. They also can be seen chasing each other creating flashes of yellow sometimes right in front of my head! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks. I've never seen one alive before, so it was a real treat. I was glad to see it escape the tidal pool. If you're ever in the area of Fowler Beach, it's definitely worth checking out. Low tide is best. Thanks for watching.

@Wondering_About_Nature Thanks, I've only been to Fowler beach once, but this was a good reminder to go visit again sometime.

I'm so glad you enjoy watching them! Thank you for reaching out and leaving a comment. Have a great day.

Thank, Knut. There are so many around right now as they get ready for mating season which is earlier than many other birds in our area. I love hearing them call out to each other. Happy Thursday!

Good morning. I'm so glad you found my channel and enjoyed the video. I hope you find other enjoyable videos in my playlists. I am anxious to check out your videos since we seem to visit many of the same places. I, too, enjoy hiking and will be moving to Lancaster County, PA in the spring. It will be great to explore new areas after I get settled but still be close enough to the Delaware coast to return for visits. Have a great day.

I used to take my walks in the evening and catch the sunsets, but over the past few years, my body has decided to be an early-riser and walk early. With the sun setting earlier now, I might get out and catch some sunsets soon.

My sister and I were walking on the boardwalk trail and heard the sound of hooves ahead. We decided it was best to keep our distance and walk away after taking some video and photos. When we returned to the trail later, the horses had moved off into the marsh.

Glad you enjoyed it. Mallards can be so commonplace in many areas, but they are so pretty. Have a great day!

I should have captioned the video to mention the Great Egret poking around near the Great Blue Heron. The head/neck does resemble a swan! I wonder if the bird dunks the eel to make it wetter and easier to swallow? Just as we wish with our kitties, I wish I could ask the heron questions that I have so I could understand their actions! Thanks for stopping by and the comment.

They are adorable! I'm so anxious to be able to visit this place more often once I move next spring! I've already plotted out a few other places to explore. It will be fun to see this place through the seasons. I'll miss the ocean, but as you can tell, there is beauty away from the coast, too!

That's interesting! Since we both enjoy feeding the birds in our yards, I have to admit that I don't mind blue jays or other birds chasing the hawks! I know they have to eat, but it's always sad to see feathers left behind in the yard after they've eaten a bird.

Since the creepers rarely make a sound, it's hard to spot them unless you happen to catch movement as they make their way up the tree. I love how they stop to investigate under the bark. I've seen a lot of woodpeckers lately during my walks. Of course, as the leaves keep falling, they are easier to spot.

I've not seen it again since taking this video! I know it's probably hidden down in the hole. Still another reason to get out in the evening since they mostly appear at sunset!

@@FocusedNatureAndWildlifeByAJ thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the note. It's interesting to know that in motion pictures, the call of Red-tailed Hawks is sometimes used when Bald Eagles are shown! They say it's because the Bald Eagle has such a wimpy call. 🤣 Have a great day.

Thanks for the note. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. So many Bald Eagles around right now. I'll be uploading another video of some others next week. The sun was hitting them perfectly. Have a great day! 🥰🥰

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to seeing the ducks you get over in your area. I love seeing and learning about wildlife in other parts of the world. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Have a great day!

@@debraaument1741 I like the duck butts! 🤣

@@geetrisha yes, they do molt, but many birds have this condition. Thanks for visiting my channel.

@@marydelvecchio4807 That's one of the calls of the Eastern Screech Owl. It's very eerie when heard in person.

@@debraaument1741 thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

I can't wait to return when the sun is shining! Cloudy mornings can be a challenge to see wildlife clearly. Glad you enjoyed it.

Good morning! Thank you so much for watching and for the comment. Although they blend in with their surroundings, they truly are beautiful when spotted. Sometimes it's hard to see them since they are mostly quiet as they make their way up the tree trunk. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day, Knut!

Glad you enjoyed it. I wish the clouds weren't so thick. It cleared up later, but by then it wasn't orange. Such a neat evening.

@@Wondering_About_Nature I think the clouds added an extra level of beauty. Not the usual full moon we see and the colours were amazing.

Glad you enjoyed it! I love watching your videos, too, since we have some similar species but so many different ones, too. Now that the weather has gotten colder, the dragonflies won't be around, but at least we have our videos to fill us with joy until the warm months return. Have a great day.

It's amazing how some of the butterflies aren't as colorful but still beautiful with their patterns. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Take care and have a great day.

That's true. Thanks for that detail!

@@debraaument1741 Glad you enjoyed it.

I was glad to be at the right place at the right time. Wish I had remembered my tripod! It was neat seeing the needlefish since I had never seen an Osprey with one before. Thanks for watching.

We also have Golden-crowned Kinglets with yellow feathers on the head. They both are such busy birds that it's hard to get shots of the color on the head most time. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the bird in the video. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

Thanks for the comment. I love migration when we have birds coming through for just a short period. Being along the Atlantic Coast, we sometimes get birds that have flown off course due to storms. The kinglets are so busy when feeding, but this one landed right in front of me, so I was glad I had my camera ready and didn't have to move. They are usually quick to fly away when they sense a threat (although obviously, I wouldn't really be a threat!) As for their call, I finally am able to recognize it when I hear it. Some year-round birds are much easier to recognize for me, but until these come to the area, I almost forget what they sound like! Have a great day.
