Newest video in the series is out now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGWmaJuudqiCsK8

[@yukia.8188]

I think the woodcock really wants you to give him all the attention 😆

[@metalmamasue3680]

Just wanted to give you a heads-up, if you're not already aware. I reported some scammer using your name trying to get folks to message them on Telegram saying they won something. I find them all over in comments under so many videos. I hope folks know better not to answer them. I can't stand people who prey on folks who might not know better. That said, it's funny how a screech owl sounds more like a loon to me 😂 It took me a long time and asking the right question to the right person before I learned what was making that weird noise I wasn't familiar with only having been a backyard bird nerd until i moved to where i am now. Now I live right near the woods and large open fields and I hear them fairly often. I'm enjoying your videos and I really have to put a bird bath out for the birds who come to my feeders. Maybe one with a fountain for the added attraction of the noise. I so enjoy seeing the birds. Well done, and very thoughtful to think of the animals who benefit from the larger pond and more native plant life. I think my favorite bird so far who I see is a male red bellied woodpecker who is very loud and showy, he's such a ham and very entertaining to watch from my windows while having my morning coffee. 😄

[@stephenspark9358]

Great Auk are extirpated, Extinct.that was a joke right?

[@ajax_jones]

That woodcock was such a treat. It's going to be really fun watching this pond as it progresses through the season and the years.

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thanks so much!

[@Charrbonic]

If only we had known how much more we get to watch!

[@LisaSaffell]

I’ve been waiting for this! Phenomenal video Stefano, can’t wait to see more. You have done an amazing job on your little pond and habitat.

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thanks for waiting 🙂so happy you enjoyed it

[@billrobbins5874]

Awesome array of birds. 👍👍

[@thinkinginsideout4053]

Stefano: Amazing! Woodcock: Peeeeep!

[@organicgreenpeace6360]

I'm so in love with your philosophies and how you made this all yourself, so much heart and effort. I love the little garden and the hummingbird feeder being so close, and the natural habitat restored for the birds is so thoughtful. You're already getting such amazing footage!

[@imagesbirds5066]

I really adore how much love and knowledge and appreciation you show for nature.

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thank you so much!!

[@noeltimm246]

you took the words out of my mouth

[@elizabethdacosta5601]

Before KZbin, where on earth did you document your AMAZING activities!! How wonderful! I didn’t have a childhood that included learning about wildlife. I’m old now, and I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed watching your wildlife pond develop and learning about birds. It would never have happened without your KZbin videos! I was literally holding my breath when you were waiting so patiently for this last bird (the Woodcock) to appear. I just knew it would, and what a treat to finally see it and hear it! I’ll be back!

[@karin6670]

18:06 Awwie the "peeek" is so anticlimatically funny 😂 the tension building up and broken by such a cute sound.

[@TheNeybor]

Your channel within a span of two episodes has almost immediately become the most exciting channel in my opinion. Definitely subscribed to follow along. Absolutely wonderful.

[@StefanoIaniro]

So glad you're enjoying it! Thank you!

[@robmitchell7355]

This is allowing me to freely geek-out in both photography and biology -and not to mention have serious envy of your property as I live in a city.

[@mariafletcher6603]

If you persevere and never give up your rewards are justified with pleasure and fullfilments of wonders. from UK 🇬🇧👍👍

[@samarthchad]

It is very interesting and beautiful to see your pond evolve, becoming a hotspot for all sorts of creatures! Greetings from India :)

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thanks so much!

[@pomskylifenova7344]

so true

[@clairelevasseur9434]

I agree with you!!! From Québec, Canada

[@yashwantgehlot8853]

Amazing video sir! Type of videos NatGeo, Discovery etc make with a team of so many people, you are doing it alone with your own resources. Hats off to your passion and skills.

[@StefanoIaniro]

Wow that means a lot, thank you!

[@IdeologieUK]

As my child has grown up, I’ve lost my fascination, love and connection to nature. I’m inspired by your videos to prepare my garden for spring. Much admiration from Kent, England. 👍

[@tabisuematwiju5865]

I just found this channel last night... I've been bingeing since!!! I love this!!! I wish I had a lot if property to this !!! I envy your life!!! It's a beautiful life!!! 💙

[@clintrobinson1706]

Thank you Stefano for doing what you can to create wildlife habitat. The native plants are the foundation of your ecosystem. Thank you for the lists and and detailed maps and explanations. This makes me (a viewer from New Jersey) feel like I am right there with you. The amount of work you are putting into this physically and technically is admirable and motivating.

[@WarblerRidge]

Gosh, I don’t know where to start. I loved everything about this video! That Woodcock footage was so, so cool. Congratulations on that! All your bird footage is gorgeous. And your down to earth, informative, and funny narrative makes all of your videos fun to watch. And, of course, now I’m wanting a larger pond setup with a spiffy photo blind :-D. Congratulations on your success with all of this. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Really happy to hear you enjoyed it all

[@sumetrashivashankar1078]

Brother , I am sure you are going to " live " as Blissfully and Happily as Possible , ☺️ for the great services that you are doing to your Feathered Friends ....... In this life and the one in Heaven . God bless you .☺️ Thank you for these awesome videos of yours .

[@meganpryor1081]

So are we!! My 8yr old daughter and I are so excited for your videos!! Thank you.. after watching this one she says... maybe we should build a pond! We love your inspiration and your hard work for these videos. Thank you!

[@StefanoIaniro]

That’s awesome! So glad you’re both enjoying the videos!

[@CantGetItRight79]

I'm so glad I found your channel! Youre videos are prime background material! I can tune in at any time and feel so calm and I learn something new! Keep it up dude.

[@johnhartley3596]

Those shots of the tree swallow catching feathers in the air are beautiful.

[@StefanoIaniro]

So glad you enjoyed that sequence!

[@robinc-k7162]

What a great video!! I've been excited to see what birds would visit after you got it all set up! Thank you for sharing this.

[@abigailmckernwalkingwithpo4582]

This is WONDERFUL - thank you so much for posting. I built my own (very small) wildlife pond this Summer. I live in Hampshire UK and hear owls nearly every night from my bedroom. SUBSCRIBED!

[@ericathefae]

I love how you narrate some of these clips - the intimidatingly macho hummingbird was particularly delightful

[@moodybyonaturewildlife5460]

Great to see this setup working and giving the wildlife a place to live.

[@tsbrowne6787]

THANK YOU, for ALL your beautiful videos!

[@joyofbeingyou5999]

I love birds so much. The humming birds are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@AndreaB1286]

Wow.... you are too much!!! The video quality... giving us the experience by enjoying nature wildlife... your way to describe everything... your voice tone.... EVERYTHING... is just perfect. Thank you... thank you so much... for this beautiful and perfect work you do. Wow... there are no words to describe the morning you gave me by just watching your videos.... omg... thank you... 😭😍

[@damyeeher914]

Thank you for sharing this journey with us. And taking the time of your day to film and share this with us!! It truly is so amazing 😊

[@Eclecticphysicalphil]

I was so happy to share this and the prior one with my dad. Thank you so much for your wonderful work and for sharing! It's magnificent!

[@VivianLund]

I was so excited to finally watch this video! And a woodcock!!! Only the cutest bird ever. What a bonus! Beautiful work, love your passion for all wildlife. Can’t wait to see who else shows up to visit at your pond.

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thanks so much! Really happy to hear you enjoyed the video

[@annalizavos4775]

So much love in what you do. 💚

[@spaaaaace8952]

Just two videos in and this is already one of my favourite channels, ever. I'm not exaggerating.

[@christophernoto]

Ah! So sweet! I love your little pond and your photography of the wildlife that come to it! Thanks!

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thanks!

[@EyeseeGrim26]

Thank you for your time and energy on these videos, they really bring peace to this city dweller and soothe the stress!

[@normanfranke4041]

As a newcomer to this channel, I can only say this is absolutely inspirational. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@jlanvers]

I am completely relaxed after watching this. I loved the shots of the frogs most as well as the funny calls from the woodcock

[@traderjoe477]

Wow, I just discovered your channel and I am flashed by the positive energy that you transfer in your video. You really look like a really happy person and that makes me happy. You have a great passion about the wildlife photography. Big thank you for sharing that experience with us.

[@aralaiqualasse3044]

Big adventure in the Pond. Love it. Each getting their own story.

[@tinkagain]

I get so much joy out of watching your videos. Thank you so much!

[@PapaVeedy]

Wonderful video! Such devotion to nature and birds. Thank you so much!

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thanks for watching!

[@k33k32]

What a charming bird the American Woodcock is! Thank you for sharing your process with us!

[@susanmorales6941]

Your videos are so enjoyable! Thank you!

[@Armyjay]

I love the funny little noise the Woodcock made when u finally got him on film. Worth all the effort.

[@sabinewacheux1649]

That's a GREAT video, thanks for your patience, your knowledge and sharing it up!

[@StefanoIaniro]

So happy you enjoyed it, thank you!!

[@intercity_trainspotting]

So interesting to see all the wildlife you have in the USA Good luck from the UK

[@lorrainemorecraft1969]

You made my day with your video! Thank you for sharing your excitement of finding the woodcock. I just finished expanding the beds in my backyard with FL native trees and plants and already have a Brown Thrasher who picks through the mulch and bathes in the bird bath under the wild coffee. A little spot for the wildlife to feed, shelter, nest, etc brings me joy.

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thank you so much! Really happy to hear it made your day better. That sounds like a great setup you have. I’m sure it will provide great habitat for years to come

[@nicoenriquez1191]

This is really a BEAUTIFUL work, congrats to you in this production. Wishing you all the luck in your next projects!

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thank you so much!

[@bharatbarve5377]

Great video, with the pond setup and the videography! Loved it ❤

[@lornalafontaine6434]

I like the new pond very much, and I love your enthusiasm. I love all those birdies, but one of my very favorites is the European Starling. I just LOVE that birdie since I have had two of them in a very large aviary and would even fly free in the house. Great video!

[@swaroopsankarsivadasan]

Great to see the pond evolving and the life around it getting better. Great job Stef. Waiting for more updates and the summer videos😍

[@StefanoIaniro]

Thanks so much buddy!

[@HouD]

Stefano, your videos are truly amazing. The amount of work and dedication that you put into them is so apparent. I have so many positive things to say.

[@reynanputra6780]

the ecosystem is really well maintained and the birds are tame even though they live in the wild. greetings from Indonesia

[@nerrelloader4226]

I agree with others, you've done an incredible job in creating the pond and habitat for the birds/wildlife. You should be really proud of your efforts. Can't wait for your next video to see even more birds come visit for you to photograph/video. Awesome work! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@StefanoIaniro]

So glad you're enjoying it! Thank you!
