Lesley, I was truly delighted to see a new video from you today. And such a wonderful one to watch at that. I was saddened and a little worried at your departure and now hopeful that things have improved for you. Say 'hi' to all the white throats up there from me! I miss seeing my winter buddies hanging around my back porch. ❤

[@jody2873]

oh my gosh this is PRECIOUS!!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷😭🤗!!!! I fed chickadees by hand in Michigan - SUCH PERSONALITY! We had 40 acres of fruit trees and i would walk down the dirt road through the orchard and those little guys would follow me and do their call! One time i walked out to pick a peach and this little one stayed in front of me and kind of led me through the orchard - i then saw it land on an old peach tree stump about 4 feet high then disappear inside...i walked over and looked down in and there she was standing over her little brood of chicks looking straight up at me like she was waiting for me to come over and see them - she honestly looked expectant to show them off! This is one of my most precious memories about that wonderful orchard that i loved! Thank you Lord God for making them and for letting me see such beauty and joy!! And thank you for such a wonderful and sweet video - God bless what you put your hand to!🩷

[@The_Mantis]

​@@LesleytheBirdNerd This year, I have only heard one a single time; maybe it's just a weird start to the year in Wisconsin, and they'll come back some time. I'd love to see one again, or maybe even get a photo of one. The day that I got into birdwatching was an interesting one, I had awoken to the sound of a blue jay and decided that I would try and get out of bed and pull out my camera to try and get a photo of it. I wasn't able to locate it, unfortunately, but on the way of trying to find it I had found a robin that I eventually decided to follow with my camera to see where it would go. I kept looking at the various birds I saw, learning which bird was what through google searches of its description, and even learning calls with some app that would say which birds' calls it heard, all the way until some sandhill cranes came, which stayed around until it got too dark to see anything much. That day, I had spent the entire day birdwatching, getting to see the sun rise, and set, all in one sitting, and learning quite a lot about birds. It was like something had flipped in my brain; going from someone with not much of an interest at all in birds, someone who had called a robin a cardinal, and couldn't name anything about them anyways, to someone who could recognize most of the birds I see, and even name a few facts about them. From there, too, I have developed quite an interest in learning more about birds, and a part of this jump into a new hobby was actually sparked by some of your videos, which worked in harmony with my obsession for the blue jay species.

[@dxt0301]

Thank you, Lesley! And thank you to your husband too. Ten more little birdies to brighten up our world. It was tense, and riveting, when the first fledgling wouldn't eat in the beginning. I had to pause the video, thinking that little birdie wouldn't make it. Glad it started to eat - with its parents's persistence and instinct to continue to feed it. Then it was so funny seeing all the fledglings asleep but once they heard their mommy or daddy calling to give them food, they would abruptly open their mouths to receive the grubs.
