Name the nest THE FREEDOM HOUSE

Eagle eye

[@RemboUSMC]

It has been a few months since Moby was suppose to be put in the pond. There has been no discussion as to why he has not been relocated yet. Can we get an update?

[@Chris-fn2ib]

The crimson crest.

[@MrAtrophy]

suggested this before , you should dedicate an area around to pond to native prairie plants. it will draw in a whole range of species benefiting the whole area and look amazing with all the wild flowers.

[@suntiki33]

Great idea. Different species of insect prefer certain plants and grasses, such as the monarch butterfly and milkweed. 😃

[@MrAtrophy]

@@suntiki33 there is a growing movement to replace flower beds and Gardens with local wildflowers and Prairie plants. Even on small scales a 4 by 4 ft plot in your backyard can bring in dozens of species to it a larger pets near pend like that I would love to see some of the things that it would bring in

[@nicholaskramer7783]

Native plants, sure. There is no natural Prairie in Alabama though, so any Prairie plant would not be native.

[@MrAtrophy]

@@nicholaskramer7783 think my post failed, any open flat dry land even small has prairie plants in it even if it isn't near the black belt prairie that runs through Mississippi and Alabama. there would be suitable prairie plants native to Alabama there.

[@nicholaskramer7783]

@@MrAtrophy That is entirely false and your own made up definition of what a Prairie plant is. Not all grasses are prairie plants, and not all plants that grow on flat dry land are prairie plants. Again, there is no natural prairie land in Alabama, the Black Belt Prairie is not an actual Prairie, it got its name because the cultivated land and rich black soils resemble one, not because it is actually one. While some Prairie plants could potentially grow in the area, it does not make them native.

[@piteusx8440]

The good hunters / fishermen are conservationists at heart. They understand the delicate balance of the ecosystem and the beauty of nature. BamaBass - I salute your passion for nature.

[@highjinx6519]

Agree 1000%

[@ar5had]

The best thing about this channel is the narrator's voice and accent. Very peaceful and soothing.

[@PABZ1995]

Since the topography can change over time, it would be cool to have small models made every couple years to keep a record of how the pond changes

[@jackmcandrews5977]

Damn this piece of land is gonna be a full on national park by the time you’re done with it 😂😂 Keep it up your living our dream my man 👍🏻

[@Fortune2725]

He is loving every fisherman’s dream and I hate it 😂

[@mjg2008121]

This is one of the weirdest channels I've ended up watching repeatedly and subscribing to. It's such a massive yet personal project described in the most gentle ways. I'm not really sure at this point why Bass are so important to the OP. I don't know much about fish. But every update I'm loving how we get to see how the eco-system evolving and how encouraging the OP is towards it. Love the tables of nuts. Keep doing what you're doing

[@JDxdger]

He is a very big fisherman that owns his tackle shop. This pond build has just blown up massively and thats been the focus of this channel now.

[@ezrahn]

Bass is the trophy lake fishing species.

[@Rattlerjake1]

Unless you're an avid sportsman, you'll never understand the devotion we have for the species we fish and/or hunt for or the appreciation there is for the environment and all the other species that share it. Hopefully a video like this will convey this to you and you will have respect and admiration for sportsmen, rather than hatred for their harvesting of some of these animals. It's all designed by Yahweh (GOD)!

[@kevinhewitt1428]

Mark, I'm the same. I don't consider this channel weird, just abnormal, compared to some of the stuff I watch though.

[@rpalmer274]

Yes

[@DoubleMFarmHomestead]

Congratulations on the new baby!!! It's amazing how much wildlife will show up when you just supply water. My pond is only 1/4 ac but the amount of wildlife coming to it is really something to see.

[@mastrepolo]

I always like Leon the professional, Leon would be a good name for a fish!

[@waterbuck]

Being a bird guy, I think you're most likely to get Osprey using this - and in a lot of ways they're much cooler than Bald Eagles. I don't know that I've ever seen Eagles using pole platforms for nesting as their nests are 6' in diameter and weigh upwards of 1000 lbs. Eagles like nesting sites that are 40', or higher, above the ground.

[@devinpenfold2274]

I completely agree. I'd wager that platform will have an osprey nest in know time. And they mate for life like Eagles. Here in Canada we have 10 year old nests that are the size of a car.

[@jakecarder6298]

From Vancouver island here, you guys are right but…. I have seen eagles nest on a platform that was on top of a 3 phase power line.

[@devinpenfold2274]

I agree. I've seen a nest survive a hurricane. Every tree around its nesting tree was flattened. Right beside the shubenacadie river out east. Nova Scotia. 8 feet across 6 feet deep. Impressive those Eagles are!

[@phantomsrage6523]

weird cause around where i live i seen an eagle nest that was in a relatively low tree probably like 20-30 feet

[@Meives79]

We get them on osprey platforms sometimes in florida but not often

[@aaronlagos5863]

Moby has gotten huge! I didn't realize it till Liz was next to him for comparison. Holy cow.

[@MrKiller6686]

Highly recommend guy wires holding that pole up so those windy days don’t break it over or tip it.

[@notoriousn20squirrel]

We love watching this series! When you bought the F1 Bass, you said that you were going to wait to put Bonnie and Clyde into the big pond because you didn’t want them to eat the new bass. Now that the new F1 Bass are over 12 inches and with all of the copperheads and minnows that were added, when can we expect to see them in the big pond? Can we ever expect to see Moby in the big pond?? I think we would all love to see how big he can get!!

[@bobbyackerson4125]

He said Bonnie and Clyde are going in the big pond, Moby is going in his backyard pond at his house. Tiger will then go into Mobys tank.

[@bobsmith6544]

How big are Bonnie and Clyde? They are in the backyard pond right?

[@bobbyackerson4125]

@@bobsmith6544 yes Bonnie and Clyde are in the backyard pond,I'm not sure on the size he hasn't shown them in a while but they are big

[@spenceraston6422]

@@bobsmith6544 He hasn’t given an update on Bonnie and Clyde in a while but they are big bass and I’m excited to see him finally put them in the 5 acre pond

[@jameswilson3772]

We need an episode! Bama bass has been my #1 yt recommendation for literally a year. Can’t wait for updates

[@jasonw.2319]

FREEDOM TOWER for the eagles nest!!

[@bobbyraw234]

Congratulations, mate. No kid could possibly ask for a better place to grow up.

[@darrena2625]

I love that, no matter the cost, you are ultimately doing this project for the wildlife in your area. From the grass to the bass to the bald-eagle, I sollute you. Well done and thank you for giving up your land to nature. May many more like you follow in your footsteps.

[@ChrisTesch87]

I still think Mobey would be an awesome addition to the 5 acre pond. He could be the monster of the pond and a real treat if/ when you'd catch him to say hello!

[@notoriousn20squirrel]

This is so true! He could track Moby’s growth when he catches him and Moby would be so happy in a bigger place!!

[@ChrisTesch87]

@@notoriousn20squirrel 100% I bet he'd get huge!

[@TheDacarter91]

Perfect name for the Eagle nest! The bass-eagle perch !!

[@way469]

I love how Nate narrates his vids as he building explaining his thought process. What a great resource to have.

[@jasonlockhart4647]

Holy crap Moby has gotten quite a bit bigger in the last couple of months please hurry and him in the pond he deserves it I can't wait to see Moby in the pond.

[@notoriousn20squirrel]

Moby definitely deserves to be in the big pond!!!

[@cspit2418]

Wonder what he weighs… 6-7 lbs!?

[@eva2k0]

This has become my favorite video series on youtube. Love it. I'm not even a bass fisher, but who doesn't like wildlife and watching someone enthusiastically realize their dreams.

[@bakdpotato143]

Congrats on the son! Also, when I saw the coons earlier I figured they were eating some of the fish pellets that may have drifted to the edge of the ponds.

[@BamaBass]

That's probably it!

[@mr.reefer8955]

I don’t know about that ,especially the way the fish swarm when the feeder goes off

[@UpNorthChuck]

@@BamaBass Sometimes on our lake they will eat the snails in the mud

[@dadsquatch79]

Looking for crawfish

[@karlhungus978]

Raccoons wash their food before eating it. Haven't you ever seen the viral video of somebody handing a raccoon sugar cubes and it just keeps washing it off in the water and it dissolves in it's hands every time?

[@CrisC81]

The Eagle nest would be great titles "Eagle's Landing" Referencing the "Oak Throne". Long time fan. Ive watched every single update since this build started!👍🏽

[@JuneBaby01]

Congratulations to the new addition of "young master" BamaBass!

[@willheeke3841]

Love to se you planting pines out there! It would be cool to see you collab with NativeHabitatProject. I think he is in Alabama as well and could have some interesting thoughts on helping to manage the property and make food plots with native grasses.

The name should be CRIMSON CONDO!! ❤️❤️ What a fun idea to get your viewers involved. Love it.

[@Tero92]

Ayyy first tagged bass, a big moment for the pond and us viewers too.

[@dainehale5671]

Congratulations on the baby boy! This pond is going to make for some great memories. I would suggest the eagle structure be called the crimson eye cause its got a view of the whole pond and property.

[@aidancardona8592]

You should make a prairie plot near the feed plots! Native grasses and wildflowers for the spring and summer, just to diversify the ecosystem

[@RicoGalassi]

Man I can't wait to see that place with all those trees in 10-20 years

[@nrg7397]

"The ponds perch" would be a great name in my op

[@theswordi5min344]

I just discovered this series and spent all day watching this playlist. You all have come a long way and it is really interesting watching the pond progress with your projects and all the wildlife that it has attracted! If you are still looking for bass names, might I suggest the name Pisces? It's the astrological sign for Feb. 19 - Mar. 20 and is symbolized by fish so I think it would work nicely. Hope you and your family are doing well and enjoy welcoming your newest edition soon.

[@c44mt]

We wait too long for the videos to be this quick! We need more bamabass! 😊

[@zinkphil]

It’s a good idea to have a four to six inch raised edge on the platform to help keep the nest in place in high wind conditions. You could bolt a 2x10 or 2x12 on each side when you’re up there adding the cameras.

[@agrammie5668]

Eagle Eye would be a nice name and CONGRATULATIONS 🎈 on your new addition to your family‼️🏆

[@fourpawstv]

Great video! I have really enjoyed watching your pond videos, especially all of the projects you do to help the wildlife. At 13:33 in the video that is an Eastern Bluebird. Bluebirds greatly benefit from nesting boxes, maybe that could be a future project idea for you to help the local bluebirds on your property! Bluebirds also really enjoy eating mealworms too. Keep up the fantastic work and videos! 🙂

We had a massive bald eagle hunt 2 bunny rabbits in our backyard and 1 in the front yard. Both rabbits were to large for him to carry off he came back 3 days in a row he would eat parts of it and fly home into the bluffs near the house. It was still in the 20s to single digits at night so the rabbit was frozen. It seemed like they were taking food back to babies. It was my very first time ever watching those magnificent birds hunt in the wild. I captured 2 4k video clips and several dozen still shots

[@tallybeaverman9462]

Raccoons work the shore for Black Freshwater Mussels that bury themselves along the edge of the lake. You should put in a bushel of mussels or more in the lake. They're filter feeders that can help keep the water clear, but most of all, they're an added food source.

[@4-Tex_Softwash_LLC]

NESTLE DOWN. Perfect name for an Eagle home ;) Its also the name of my grandparents home built in Alabama at our family's "Pond House". Kinston to be specific. My cousin Katie Boyd Britt does a few of her campaign videos at the pond house. Just youtube it. Love what you're doing here! Been watching since you broke ground.
