      My husband spent his childhood in the States, and for several years he was living in Florida so he was pretty unfamiliar with most of our wildlife here in eastern Canada. Once when we were dating, we were wandering through a park and heard a green frog croaking. He stopped dead, looked at me and said, "What the hell was that?!" I said, "Oh, just a frog," and he replied (still incredulous): "What kind, the Canadian Banjo Frog?!" I nearly fell over laughing, because it really can sound like someone plucking a banjo string! Ever since then we've called them that name. It's way more descriptive than "green frog" -- think we can convince biologists to change it? 😄

It's been nice to think about how it's thriving, and to look forward to what updates will come next. I've always wanted to live this sort of life- creating little ecosystems for animals, but my knowledge and money ceiling make that impossible. So, living vicariously through this has been... nice. Thank you for making these videos, and for sharing this amazing, living world with everyone.

    I worked at a college once and I helped put in a little fish pond. At its deepest it was only 2 1/2' to 3' deep and maybe 12' across. It had a small water fall to circulate the water. We had some small Koi in there. One spring a Blue Heron showed up and at all the fish out of it! We restocked the pond in late summer/early fall and the fish survived the winter. The next spring the Heron showed up again and ate all the fish again. This time we waited a couple of years before restocking it. The Heron hadn't showed back up before I left that job.
    It was the closest thing I have ever done that comes close to what you are doing Stefano and I really wish I could do to it again, but on a larger scale. I don't think my apartments landlord would be happy with me if I did it.

When the Phoebe was shown, I said to myself, "That's a flycatcher. Maybe a Phoebe?" and you confirmed it! When you showed the Cardinal Flowers, I was like, "Those are gonna be great for hummingbirds" and I was right again! I love all of your videos, not just the birds. The ponds you have made are great!

    Amazing look at this (mostly) temporary pond. I feel like it has all the benefits of a vernal pond with no downsides. Enough area seems to have dried up for mud flats with plant growth. The mammals, reptiles, birds & amphibians all seem to enjoy having a smaller, more secluded & protected water source late in the season. We need little projects like this to be set aside in city parks & school yards. Spend the tech money building camera drones so kids can see the wildlife without disturbing it.

    I never knew a pump on a pond deters tadpoles! The vernal pond is such a good idea and is imperative for a healthy ecosystem. Keep up the Good Work!

    • @StefanoIaniro
      @StefanoIaniro  25 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thanks so much! It doesn't deter the tadpoles necessarily, but they could accidentally get sucked up in the pump. I have a cover for the pump, but don't want to risk it

    I would call that pond quite a success. I know you wanted to completely dry up and like you said some years it might, but I think it dries up enough that it will just be a great improvement for a wide variety of plant and animal and insect species, good job

    great video! i loved seeing the time overlap between the vernal pond and the birds nesting. i always get SO excited when you mention the bat boxes, i can’t wait to see the bats when they come in- which im sure they will! don’t give up!! my favorite shots were of the great blue heron, the bittern, and the red fox in the apple tree. the cutaway from the caddisfly larvae to the frog was hilarious. amazing work!!

    • @StefanoIaniro

    This is so great! I had a flashback to 50 years back when nature was still close to home even in fast growing cities. My country is plowed over completely, no exaggeration. A place like yours is only for the uberwealthy here but still, my garden is my sanctuary and I live in the quietest place I have ever experienced. The song of frogs can be heared when it’s their time to sing and I’m here to enjoy it. I truly enjoy your land too, thank you for that.

    P.S. The contrast of the low quality, no music, very underwhelming frog fight is gold. Keep up the amazing work!
