If or when you write a book you could add little QR codes for specific birds or instances that direct a persons device to video of the birds :) There are apps and programs for generating QR codes.

May I ask what type of new camera and lens you’re using?

LesleytheBirdNerd In a couple of your diaries, you mentioned "winter depression looming" over you. Here's the key and it's free: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6K7Znx8gL55jc0 The above link is just an example, but probably appropriate to most types of depressions. Please take advantage. Depressions can be wonderful tools for practicing awareness and learn to stay present.

[@Bipedlocomotion]

Birds bring me a sense of peace. I have no idea why but I'm drawn to them, I think they are the most magical form of wildlife. Thank you for helping me learn more about them 🙏

[@A711-m1d]

[@h.collier3544]

Thanks for another great video. I find your videos to be very informative and entertaining. More importantly, I find them very relaxing. Watching you interact with your avian friends is pure magic, and your voice is soothing to my soul. The scenery is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@thomaslong8401]

I always feel so much more calm after watching one of your videos.

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

That's wonderful

[@jerrybear6440]

Awesome.......

[@donpowlen]

Thank you again. Your videos bring a calm & warm feeling to me in this current uneasy situation we are in.

[@danacoleman4007]

Lesley, you and your birds are always such a welcome treat! Thanks as always! 😊

[@JerichoAndFriends]

I have been a subscriber for a couple of months now, and I am amazed at your ability to tell the birds apart, as well as the fact that the birds eat out of your hands. I provide several pie plates on my patio filled with birdseed, nuts, mealworms, and water for the birds and squirrels. Our patio stays active with visitors all day long. It's a great source of entertainment for me and my two indoor cats. I especially enjoy the blue jays, which was how I originally found your channel.

[@joeytofil2259]

This right here shows why nature, forests, and the outdoors in general is my church. It's an indescribable feeling that makes everything just a bit easier and enjoyable. Lovely video, I'm a wimp with the cold so videos like this help me to phone it in, so to speak :)

[@Dan-qp1el]

Your videos make me happy! You are a wonderful person, and your videos help remind me of the good side of life.

[@marylongoria9431]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful videos! I love them!❤️

You hand feeding the birds is amazing!! Good info & very interesting. Thx for sharing

[@michaelmontagner2279]

What amazing videos and great photography. Very educational

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Another wonderful video of the birds Lesley! Thank you for always sharing with us!💖👌👍😎JP

[@danielsqueque4763]

Power of the mesh ,...love your all your videos

[@yooperlooper]

my indoor kitty loves these videos. He sits on my lap and puts his little paws up on the edge of my laptop and stares in awe. Nice pastime while we're all staying close to home and it's too cold & windy for him to go out on the deck in his kitty gazebo. This summer I have to try to feed our chickadees by hand. They are pretty friendly at our feeder.

[@beach3girl459]

Mockingbirds in the bushes in front of my house sing all...day...long...so lovely to hear! Actually, they can be heard even after dark. What happy little creatures.

[@gothic_oma]

Mine sing all night long! Lol.

[@jackvoss175]

They are probably having to mark their territory. That’s work, not joyfulness.

[@douglaskan]

When I saw your video. I feel very comfy. Thank you so much

[@andypanda4927]

I'm impressed with how you can recognize these individual birds. Somewhat awed with your ability to have them approach you. Had an uncle who seemed to know individual birds. Enjoyed your vid.

[@gettingold59]

No joke but my cat sits on my desk and watches your videos from start to finish, and is completely captivated. That is as close as he ever gets to the outside world. Love the work and effort you put in.

[@kristeetrisler4942]

Love your videos!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@sherrywalker4619]

What great camera shots! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@TubeYouJet]

Excellent video, bird audio and narration.

[@giffordkrivak5973]

Great videos Lesley. Since COVID-19 has hit everyone, the one thing I have to look forward to most days is my morning walks. It's nice to see I'm not the only one who gets joy out of watching the birds. Your videos are awesome. Keep it up!

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Thank you. I couldn't imagine not being allowed to go out in the woods for a walk. I'm very thankful that has been take from me. Take care

[@aeneasreynolds8628]

Hi Lesley, a book of your experiences with birds and critters would be fascinating I think. You've had such an amazing life with your friends. As always, thank you for letting us see your unusual and intriguing relationship.

[@CenturianEagle]

So cute!! Sweet girl took the whole egg piece! She has quite the appetite! Thanks for posting ! I can really recognize Hermoso no problem for some reason! 😆 he’s a cutie, you must have been excited to see them again after so long, I know how nice it is and how much of a relief it is to see your bird friends after not seeing them for for a little while

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Haha. Sweet Girl was too cute and yes I was so happy to see my Hermoso. :)

[@elizabethhoeppner8881]

They are so fun to watch.

[@lisalichty7378]

Thank you for the beautiful video💓

[@randyrejer4219]

I always seem to learn bird habits by watching your videos. Yesterday I witnessed a cardinal feeding his mate. Pointed it out to my wife. She was impressed. LOL

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Aww that's awesome. I'm so glad you witnessed it and was even able to show your wife :)

[@kathytaylor6804]

Greetings from Iowa. I just found your videos and have enjoyed them very much as I sit at home quarantined. Our home backs up to a wooded area and I am learning so much about the birds see. Lots of chickadees today. A male and female cardinal, many juncos and several woodpeckers that I can hear hammering the trees. Thanks for sharing your expertise and love of birds.

[@MHarenArt]

Snowy and Misty. Your camera really does take beautiful photos and videos. Gorgeous color and sharpness!

[@raymondjones7489]

I would like that!!..the book!...😊😊❤

You are very welcome :)

Beautiful footage! ...enjoyed watching!!

[@1963kingfisher]

I've just got to say your beautiful video bring sun shine into my life at the moment, with the crisis going on and self isolation.many many thanks.

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

It's a pretty challenging time. I'm so glad these little videos make the days a bit brighter. Take care

[@clarkholton461]

It's cool seeing birds from way-up north are also down here along the gulf coast.

[@calvinjackson8110]

Thanks for such a great share! The birds have gotten to know you as well as you seem to know them. I sure wish some red bellied woodpeckers, Orioles and red headed woodpeckers and some mourning doves would befriend you! I love watching them too!! Beautiful and very calming video!

[@bfoz]

I am a huge fan of birds.

[@TheArbiter10]

Hermoso and Fiona had me worried. Glad you were able to find them. 5:54 - Squirrels are vicious this time of year! There's a tough male squirrel with a few scars (from previous fights, I presume) I call Scrap. He loves blanched almonds and generally doesn't let any other squirrel take "his" almonds... except for this female, Squeak. She's a cute, quiet little fluffball, surprisingly polite & friendly with me and the birds, but when Scrap tries to scare her off, she takes absolutely none of his nonsense. She's the only one he'll back down from!

[@davedanjean]

Thank you for another wonderful video you've posted. I like the sharpness of the new camera you have.

[@LaBucci]

Your videos are always so relaxing 😌 and amazing, this has influenced me to go buy feeders to see what birds I can attract here in Southern California ❤️

[@oldlifter530]

Your photography is just so beautiful

[@turtlelake5560]

Chick-a-dees are so sweet. They always say thanks when I feed them.

[@halhosmer1820]

So happy you're back. I was just thinking that I hadn't heard from you for a while. Happy spring.

[@juliamahler415]

thank you Leslie. your videos are always a treat

[@JamieMiles_southmainmuse]

You are the Blue Jay Whisperer. I gained new respect for them when I realized they are amazing mimics. I was looking all around for some Red-shouldered hawks after hearing their cry until I realized it was a Blue Jay. I have learned now to tell the difference between a real hawk and a jay. But it still is impressive-

[@bighornmt]

Awesome video #LesleytheBirdNerd, I just celebrated my birthday on April 14th, I enjoyed it watching my Blue Jays! ❤️

[@LesleytheBirdNerd]

Happy Belated Birthday to you, I'm glad you found a nice way to enjoy it despite this strange time we are in. Blue jays can be so fun to watch. Take care

[@bighornmt]

@@LesleytheBirdNerd Awwww thank you, I love my Blue Jays and they do something new everyday and make me laugh all the time!

I wish I could attract blue jays and chickadees! 💙 I’ve been getting a lot of cow birds, red wing black birds, robins, one big crow and a pair of beautiful goldfinches.

[@marshawoods4983]

Wonderful video watch this first thing I woke up better than darn news LOL you’re getting some great video and pictures and I like how you’ve named some of the bird

[@itsmekimmielc]

The Jane goddall of blue jays. I love these amateur naturalists.

[@Dragrath1]

Always love to hear about your cuties down here the Juncos long headed North but surprisingly the White Throated sparrows are still here though they are singing quite a bit. Also the Cat birds are back the adorable little personalities with a sweet tooth once we see them we put out Jelly and if we have it fruit though with the pandemic and all they will probably just have Jelly for a while not sure if we will be getting any nearby farmers markets.

[@kmcrotty04]

Thank you for the amazing channel! Myself and I’m sure many others would LOVE it if you made a video on how to get the birds to eat from your hands!

[@maryellensymanski4330]

I enjoy this channel during these days of home confinement, and try to learn the birds in my yard, telling them apart like Lesley does. It's hard! My jays look the same, but they do like my peanuts. Lesley, I would love some hints on how to get them to feed from your hand.

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

I love all your pretty birds and you!! Thank you for sharing with us. I especially loved the big gray bird!
