My cat, Finney, and I love your videos, Leslie. Thank you!
Your videos are so good for my heart. They bring such joy. And the music also brings such delight to the videos as well. Thank Q for sharing
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened - THAT'S when I lost it! 😭💜🦂
I'm actually very emotionally invested in peanut and I hope he is happy where ever he is
I literally just cried over this Blue Jay 💙😩
Peanut will be back and he will bring his mate to introduce you to the"other" love of his life ♥️
You are an amazing person! I really enjoy your videos! Just subscribed!
Noooo....why is Peanut gone. I cried the entire video. I felt the sadness and your heart break from your voice. I've had my mocking bird for 3 years now and I can't imagine my yard or life without him. I hope peanut comes back with his mate. I will miss him.😥😥😥❤❤❤🐦🤲
Just found your channel on TH-cam on TV. Moved to watch and cast to my TV so I can control pause and playback. I am fascinated. My husband was an outdoorsman and knew birds from flight patterns and sounds. Now I’m alone and with Covid going on this is something I really want to learn more about. So thank you for your personal comments too. It’s good to have an interesting thing to focus on.
Great camera work!
That's so sad hopefully Peanut doing just fine
Lesley , you amaze me , thanks for the videos . I feel like I miss the birds that you do , even though I haven’t met them . ❤️
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOY YOUR BIRDS AND VIDEOS ARE, WHEN YOU PANNED AROUND, SAW WHERE YOU LIVE ON THE SEA, ARE YOU SURE ITS NOT CALLED HEAVEN 😊
THANKS DEAR LESLEY.
CAMILLE AUSTRALIA.
"Don't cry because it's over -- smile because it happened." -- Thanks for that.
Words well spoken Lynn 😊
Wonderful work you do. I enjoy how you explain what is going on, had this video not been narrated I would have been lost.
All your videos are so darn beautiful they nearly bring me to tears. That portrait of Peanut you used for the date cards is so wonderful it made me exclaim a little "Oh!" every time it appeared. "Smile because it happened" indeed. And smile again that you have such lovely still pictures and videos to remember Peanut with.
Oh my goodness, Lesley!😭 I’m just now watching this 9 months after it was posted. I’m relatively new to your channel and catching up on your videos! They are calming, informative and sweet! I will continue catching up and hope to see Peanut return with a mate😃 I hope Hermoso(sp?) finds a mate very soon!
That shot of the hills and the bay was absolutely gorgeous.
You have a way of telling a story yet teaching us the ways of the songbirds. It's been pretty amazing for me watching your videos and seeing your pictures on etsy.
Pitts Chapel Farm you are funny! :”marry me”. She does make Amazing videos and a Great Story teller. I wonder if she is a narrator or something Ike it? If not, Lesley, you should look into voice recording jobs. My old neighbor did it and loved it bc. She worked from home and set her own schedule. Keep up the Amazing Work!! Thank you for sharing it with us!!
Your relationship with this group of birds is just so heartwarming!
Beautiful...
I wish I didn’t get so attached but I cried being worried about Peanut. I hope he is ok and has found his girl. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
Awe, Hermosa looks so lonely. He is so beautiful, I hope he brings a lucky girl into his life with his lovely song. So sad about Peanut. I will think positive and hope that he brings a girlfriend back to meet you, Lesley. I've never seen a Grey Jay in my area; they are just beautiful. Thank you for all you bring to us. It's so great knowing there are wonderful people in the world like you.
I'll say one thing Lesley, you do love your blue jays.
I really enjoyed seeing the pine siskins, downy woodpecker, grosbeak, nuthatchers & beautiful blue jays. OMG how wonderful to be so close to those little angels. Thank you Leslie.
My heart breaks for your anxiety over Peanuts absence...I so envy the intimate relations you've cultivated w/all these feathered little fairies! The singular but somewhat similar experience I had was w/a tiny screech owl who inhabited the library of our local Schlitz-Audubon Society. Injured & no longer able to fend for himself, his survival rested upon the trust he had in his human friends to provide his nourishment. We'd named him Twig. Though one of the most minute "birds of prey", he nonetheless had a formidable grip for such tiny stature. It was my honor & true joy to volunteer there in whatever capacity was needed.
oh Lesley. you are so dear, with your heart on your sleeve and your bird nerd love in full plumage. i hope there is an afterlife, that you can be with all of them and they with you.
be well. be happy.
we love you too.
Thankyou dear Leslie……..❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hope you get to see Peanut again 😀
I know how it feels! This past year I had a chickadee and he would come to my hand every morning and one morning I went out and I never saw him so I was like maybe he went somewhere else. Then I realized that he has been gone for 3 weeks! He would even let me pet him! And I got to see him nest on my porch in the birdhouse! I truly miss him!
You're videos are the best. I'm so glad someone lives like this. You care about nature so much. Marry me!
Lesley , your videos are always exceptional , i wish u would show a blooper once in a while , the last one made me fall down laughing , with those pesky squirrels climbing your tripod , lol that was to funny and awesome ^^
Still always amazed by your ability to hand feed all the bird. You are awesome........the bird whisperer.
I enjoyed the Pine Siskins and seeing more of the landscape scenes.
Don't worry Lesley! everything will work out :) Thanks for sharing the birds with us. 👍👌😎JP
It feels like being out there with you and all these delightful birds. Thanks, Lesley!
Hey Lesley just found your channel recently and this is my first comment. Been binge watching and loving your productions here, sort've like Mark Smith does with Osprey stories on his youtube channel you do that for me here with your birds. I've been a bird photographer for 8 years now and its really informative all your different video's I'm learning tons on the birds that I photograph. looking forward to the spring warbler season. I live near magee marsh the famous destination for warblers each spring. can't wait with my new knowledge from Lesley. Just wanted to say a big huge thanks for Everything you do, i speak for many it has not gone unnoticed. cheers my friend
The opening photo of Peanut is adorable! What a gorgeous view of the snow-covered "hills" and surroundings. I love the various ways you feed your little friends (3:30). The Woodpecker is so cute and I LOVE the tree with all the lichen on it. What was Peanut eating around 4:30? LOL Feisty little Hatch wasn't being intimidated by the Pine Siskin! Awww! How very sweet that you brought Sweet Girl some boiled egg. I love that she took a bite or two, then took it all with her, my guess is to a "secure" place to eat it without having to guard from others. I just love the personal relationship you have with so many of the birds, if not most! LOL Chased by a couple of Pine Siskins! It made me think of places where Monkeys chase people, acting like thugs, and steal their "stuff." So very sweet how the pair sat on your hand to share a meal your generously provided. So sad you had that ominous feeling about Peanut and not seeing him again. I hope you are wrong! ROFL Snowed...just enough to tick you off! Heartbreaking - "I don't want to lose my Hermoso too." I so enjoy your videos and narrations. It always comes across as extremely knowledgeable in a very personal/casual way. - down-to-earth. Thank you for all your hard work, and sharing it! I now think of you each time I see or hear a Blue Jay.
Love watching your videos. Sad about Peanut. And hoping Hermosillo finds a mate. Your pine siskins are as feisty as mine. Thank you for sharing! ❤🐦🌲🙂
It looks beautiful where you live lesley and your videos make my day thank you so much
Sad to see Peanut go but hopefully he is well somewhere with a lady Jay of his own live in peace Peanut....
I loved what you said about losing Peanut. I recently lost one of my dogs suddenly and it's been hard. After hearing what you said about being grateful for the time you had, I realized it to be true more than ever. Perhaps Peanut will return with a mate when you least expect it.
I live in lower Michigan and the Robins were about 10 days later than usual this year.
I feel bad for Hermoso, he's such a handsome fellow.
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." I first heard that saying a few months ago, it's a good one to remember. Sorry that peanut had to leave, he was such a cutie. 😥
I will always like your videos. I love birds. You have excellent videos. You clearly love birds.
Thank you so much
@@LesleytheBirdNerd thank you ☺️ Lesley
I enjoyed your videos but the sad times really gets me each time... even though I know it's part of nature. I still think is really sad to see them go :(
I sure enjoy your videos, and your commentary. I don’t comment every time, but like every one.
Thank you Lesley!! I do love these videos. I am amazed at how many birds you have up there that also live here in the north Texas/Dallas area. I guess it just goes to show you how adaptive birds can be.
Very sweet. Thank you for sharing.
We'll see if Peanut returns next episode, I wish him the best.
I am so worried about Peanut and Hermoso. I am hoping Peanut will reappear after all you feed him great treats. Hermoso is so handsome he should have females all over him but maybe he's picky. Amazing video again!
Crazy Bird Nerds LOL Love from Florida!
Love this dairy yes its a shame Penut moved on but here to the next generation of Grey Jay's hopefully they bring as much enjoyment as Penut did.
You lucky thing, having them eat from your hand! Lovely video :)
I love your videos, it’s so amazing how they eat from your hand! Your videos made me want to attract Blue Jays to my yard. I bought a house in May and had a tube feeder and realized that the Cardinals I love didn’t like it, nor do Jays. I added a hopper style feeder with peanuts and I finally have seen Blue Jays in my yard! They are so cute!!! A woodpecker had been coming around, but I am unsure if it is a Downy or Hairy Woodpecker.
I keep my fingers crossed Pranut returns. This time with a mate.😢
Always love watching your videos. Birds are a joy of my mid-Michigan life. I am so glad to see all of your friends and share their lives.
Thumbs up! I'm from mid- Michigan, too! Lesley is the best!
Love these diaries Nerd! 👍👍👍😃✌️
I love my pillow! The artwork on it is simply devine!
That's awesome Tersea. Glad it came out nice
bird nerd,love
Good stuff, thanks!!
Love your videos!!! I've never seen a grey jay. So beautiful.
I live in NE Ohio and we don't get the Gray Jays, they are so cute! I only had the pine siskins for one winter. Your Peanut is so precious and I hope he comes back! You do a wonderful job with your vlogs and your photography is fantastic. I love your channel and you are doing a great job!
So happy to share some time with you. I love your music too.
The best, Lesley
Thank you.
Love your bird diaries. Appreciate seeing the bay & larger environment you’re in as well as comments about early or late winter, relative snow fall & cold. I’ve never been to Newfoundland, let alone lived there. All your information very welcome!
*While your out birding, make sure you're planting lots of food for them.*
Thanks for your videos! I'm missing the birds back East like Cardinals & Indigo buntings and colorful finches!. I think our Stellar's Jays are the noisiest birds in NW Washington State, but the up-side is that they're great alarm clocks in the wee morning hours! 😂
I wonder if Maggie thinks that your the one that is responsible for putting that peanut in it's shell just to frustrate her? Thank you for your videos! Lately I have been watching a family of house finches, they seem so much more friendly to each other than other birds. Their songs are lovely and relaxing.
I love your videos!! I wish I new more about birds.
Happy video.
Thanks for bringing Red-Breasted Nuthatches and bona fide Black-capped Chickadees into view for the rest of North America. We don't get Black-capped Chickadees in the Scioto Valley, where I'm from, but we have plenty of Carolina Chickadees, which look really similar to the Black-capped Chickadees, only smaller. The nearest place I would have to go to see them and Red-Breasted Nuthatches would be the West Virginia Mountains. I guess they stick to either higher elevations or cooler climates. Also, sorry to hear about Peanut's departure. I hope Hermoso doesn't have to go as well.
Glad you like seeing the black caps and red breasted nuthatches. Wonderful birds.
I get many of the same birds coming to my feeder, with the exception of gray jays (I'm near sea level, grays like higher altitudes) and blue jays...we have Stellar's jays here. The pine siskins and nut hatches are accustomed to me now and hardly bother to move away when I refill the feeder. I also see a lot of spotted towhees and the occasional varied thrush, and others I haven't made the effort to identify yet.
Great camera work and narration 👍
Enjoyed your video !!!
Wonderful :)
I love the scrub jays here in the Sierra Nevada, but miss the blue jays and robins back along the Mississippi River.
i love Peanut, sad he left and Webster. that bay is so gorgeous. what bay is it?
FIRST!!! - Hi Lesley - So glad you have a new video 👍👍👍
I'm sorry to hear about Peanut - he could be back.
How far do Blue Jays nest from each other? Is it similar to Grey Jays?
If the birds are on alert - maybe a predator is nearby?
Maybe he's out finding a mate - hope he's okay.
Glad you're seeing many of the regulars :)
My parrots always live scrambled eggs too.
Can't wait to see Baby Jays 🤗
Stephanie
I think S W is fourth.
@@octaviogutierrez5355 - Someone is tampering with #'s - I was at 18 minutes, now at 19? 🤔
Ah well, I made it here. - now I have to edit again. Stephanie
S W Okay.
Thanks!
How do you get them to eat from your hand??? Amazing!
uhlijohn it takes time, but it is just to have food in your hand and hold still.
Aphexon How much time? One month, 6? One year? I have about 10-15 BJs on my feeders but I don’t think they will ever trust me bc Some people around here (hot Florida) are kind of mean to birds, especially Jays. And I am wondering if it is a bad Idea for them to start trusting humans in populated areas? I fear they will get too close to a Mean Human and get hurt?? I saw a baby squirrel with a BB gun shot hole on her back leg: URGH!!!!! Mean People Suck! On a good note, the jays see me and they watch me looking for those PN. They are so Smart!
My friend found a couple of woodpecker fledglings without a mom. She fed them hamburger and some other things a vet recommended with a plastic dropper. They became attached to her, came to her and perched on her extended arms even after they were feeding on their own. Awesome!
Thanks, Lesley. Sorry Peanut never made it back. Do you think there’s a possibility he would return if he found a mate? Take care :)
Yes too bad he had to go. If he found a territory with a female close by maybe he'd come back but if he had to go far I dont think he would.
Not Bad!
Did I miss how Feisty Jay lost his old mate? At least he found a new one... maybe he could teach Hermoso a few things
How do you know which Blue Jay is which? They all look alike to me. Subtle differences in markings, I guess?
Yes, those are some of the things that help but there is more, especially with blue jays. I made a video explaining how. Here's a link to it if you'd like to see the video th-cam.com/video/goh1wKDY54w/w-d-xo.html
Plot twist Peanut and Hermoso come back as a couple. 😭
Hahaha
I just wanted to pass something on to you that I found unusual and cute. I just put an humming bird feeder out this past weekend and I am waiting for them to notice it when I watched an wood pecker, the little cute ones that have the red speck on the back of their heads . He wanted to taste the necter but was having trouble so he pushed a suet feeder I have close to the humming bird feeder so he could drink from it. I pushed the suet feeder back in it,s place on the close line and the next morning I saw the little guy do the same thing. I guess he likes the taste. Have you ever heard of a woodpecker liking to drink the Hummingbird necter?
That's cute about the woodpecker. I think I recall reading somewhere before that woodpeckers like that stuff.
Thanks for sharing
In winter I read feeders should serve shelled seeds and nuts to reduce bird energy. I could not find anything about feeding meat or eggs to birds. thoughts?
Why, when Blue Jays feed at a hanging feeder, they eat seeds & then throw a quantity out & around on the ground? Are they consciously distributing seeds for the other birds...or are they throwing away unwanted seed?
I’m using a higher quality corn mix of millet & sunflower & a few other types of seed.
But I’m lucky 13!
Love your videos! Live oak Florida here 🌴. Wish i could get them to eat from my ✋. What State is this?
O Canada
Love the videos- just be a little more careful with your editing, your voice cuts out and then comes back in a couple times throughout the video (at 8:30 and 11:40 for example). Keep it up though, always love these calming bird deep-dives!
