All I can say is...WOW! What a story and amazing footage of those birds! It may have felt like a problem in the beginning but I am so grateful that you were there to experience the life cycle of those Stellar Jays. What a fantastic story and how blessed we all are to be able to watch second hand the miracle of nature. Thank you so much John and Mercedes!

[@RVOddCouple]

Our favorite video. The funny thing is that at the time we both didn't realize how special these moments were. Looking back, this was the greatest part of our adventure so far. Stay in the moment. Thank you Kimberly

[@bobbyrosas9124]

Y’all are amazing to have seen the beauty in nature, capture it on film and share it with your followers. Thank you for letting us have an experience we might not have had captured by “amateurs”. It was wonderful to hear your heart felt reflection about how fast animals and humans grow. Thank you for the blessings of watching a cycle from nature. My husband and I are trying to plan a trip to Yosemite. Right now our family is in a season of the next generation. Our first grandchild, Titus, turns one on Thursday, July 18th in Kansas City, MO. We leave in the morning pulling our 27’ travel trailer behind to celebrate his birthday with family. September 7th our second grandchild, also a boy,is expected. We will travel to Colorado Springs to be there for his birth. Our children grew up so fast and we feel like we missed some as we tried to build our life. Even though we live 100’s of miles away, we will try to be there for the milestones the grandchildren travel. It is a grand experience, especially for Sage. God’s blessings to all of you!

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you for your beautiful comment. We're so glad you enjoyed the video. And congratulations on your growing family. How exciting it must be to see the next generation being born. Sounds like you have a fantastic adventure planned. How wonderful that you will be able to enjoy your first grandchild and travel to see your second grandchild be born. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Your story warmed my heard. God bless you and yours!

It's Amazing seeing the Mommy and Dadd feeding their Babies 🤩

[@brendanwalsh1675]

Amazing contribution to the research on these birds. When you first started with the birds, you guys were having such a hard time a,nd then the birds showed up and the stress was compounded on top of everything else... What a great lesson in patience and prayers. The joy in your faces and in your voices has to be what's reflected in what we hope to find in our RV life. Thanks for teaching what's truly important. Safe travels since you can move on!!! Brendan & Lena

[@RVOddCouple]

Hi Brendan & Lena, Thank you for the kind words. You touch on a good point- the birds did more for us then we did for them. We remember looking at the mom while she sat on the nest and thinking, "she has no idea what's happening behind the scenes so she can stay in her nest." It was such a gift. And looking at the footage all together really paints the picture of how fast it all went. We're very blessed. And yes, a part of our hearts will always be in Yosemite, but it was time to move on. :-)

[@rustyvaughn8818]

Oh Guys?!?! That vlog melted my old salty heart. Perfectly edited. moving from the birds to your sightseeing and back again with the right music. kudos to the editorial board! LOL

Again, thanks for sharing this video. LOVE, LOVE LOVE it!!! Pat

This was truly an amazing experience you were able to be part of. God’s way of showing us the love and sadness that he has created in our world. Thank you all again for sharing this with us all. Enjoy your next adventure and please be safe. God Bless ❤️

WOW! What an awesome experience. And to be in such a beautiful place.

[@RVOddCouple]

This was probably the craziest experience of them all. Those birds did more for us than we did for them.

Thanks for this update. The Mrs. and I just got back from camping the west coast and Sierra Mtns for three weeks and saw lots of these birds. Thanks to you sharing your experience I am no longer a Steller's Jays hater.

[@RVOddCouple]

You are very welcome! We loved the Sierras and the Jays. Thank you💚💚💚

Hi folks. On you tube you never know when or where you are going too run into the next video that really stands out amongst the rest, personally, for one reason or another. I love bird stories. Your video is spectacular and I hope not much video at all was wasted on the cutting room floor. Thank you both so very much for sharing this beautiful story. It shows what kind of people you are and I'm more than happy to have made this internet acquaintance with you both. That video is great and I think I'm going to watch it again! Take Care, have fun and be safe. Jpol. PS. If a bear ever climbs under your rv in the late fall, get a park ranger to shoo them out immediately, or you may be in for a long winter! Lol.

[@RVOddCouple]

This was the highlight of our first year RV'ing J Pol! What a gift it was and we are very grateful for the experience. One we'll never forget. This is our favorite video too. Thank you for the tip on Bears LOL😂😀👍💚

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better" -- Albert Einstein. I loved how watching the birds brought new insight into your life with your daughters. You have been truly blessed.
