Lesley, I was truly delighted to see a new video from you today. And such a wonderful one to watch at that. I was saddened and a little worried at your departure and now hopeful that things have improved for you. Say 'hi' to all the white throats up there from me! I miss seeing my winter buddies hanging around my back porch. ❤
would these lil nest building cuties make use of a furr ball hung out there? keeping some furr from a puppy brushing??!!😄😄
Great to have you back , great video thanks

@@LesleytheBirdNerd
You are more loved than you will ever know. Thank you for spreading the beauty of the creation in this dark and sad world !
And you are very talented.
I think Inky was hiding under the fluff so Philbert couldn’t see her and she could sleep in 😅
Haha! You could be right.
So glad to see you back. You've been missed. I love the way you make such a beautiful story about the growing up of these little birds.
It's great to be here! Thanks a bunch for the nice comment. Have a great day!
Oh Lesley! Thank you so much for putting together this beautiful video and sharing sweet Inky and Philbert's journey. What a gift! I laughed, I cried, I giggled, I smiled. She has a mini-me! Philbert snuck past and got to feed the babies, hehe. And that cute bumblebee when he tumbled down. So happy for the sweet, hardworking couple and all their babies. Thank you again for sharing this labor of love with us. Happy birding to you, too! 💗💗💗
it's so beautiful how much personality each little bird displays when observed from up close, even dreaming sometimes! animals are so much smarter and more like us than we give them credit for
Sooo true!! Thank you for watching. Have a great night
So happy to see you with these beautiful little birds thank you 🙏❤️🙏
Lesley, are you back?? How wonderful.
Welcome back lesley 🎉 everytime I see a black cap chickadee I think of you and smile
Same❤
😊Black-Capped Chickadees are my state bird (Massachusetts)...........and they have nested in a birdhouse I put out in my back yard.
I LOVE CHICKADEES!!!!!!!!!!
What an unexpected treat!
Thank you Lesley

Yaay! Lesley's back!!
Missed you, Lesley, thanks for posting. An incredible journey.
Fascinating! Better than anything on TV for sure! TY for sharing and teaching. I always learn so much for you, Lesley.
Wow, thank you!

Thank you for the beautiful videos!
Glad to see you back.
I NEVER would have guessed SO many babies!! Wow.
Adorable and Amazing ❤
OMG so are you back ? If you are that makes me very happy.
I don't think so. This is the longer video she's been working on. I don't think there are any more planned, but I hope there will be more in the future.
Thank you sooooooo much, Leslie! Great to see you!🥰
Happy to see new videos ❤
Great seeing you making videos once more! 🐦👍🙂
Lesley are you back? I love my Dee-Dees. They hang around me when I feed them❤
How AWESOME a video. Great to see you back on Leslie. This was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much!
Missed you. A lot. 🫶🏻
Smiling
You are a treasure Lesley.
Aww, thank you!
What a wonderful surprise to see you back, Lesley.
Isn’t it remarkable to think birds might be able to dream? Just wow!
So glad to see you posting again! 😊Thank you for this beautiful & interesting video! ❤
It really is amazing! How much we are similar to them in ways we never knew :) Thanks for the sweet comment. Have a wonderful new week ahead!
You had two of the most invasive birds trying to take over your Chickadee box. The House Sparrow and European Starling. I love all birds, but the Sparrow and Startling can be a little annoying at times. But I still love them. I’m glad it all worked out ❤️.
How absolutely special!! Thank you!! ❤
You're back! Yay! More chickadees!
Yaaaaay more Inky and Philbert!!! My cup runneth over. So good to have you back, Leslie! Black-Capped Chickadees are some of my favorite birds, and Inky and Philbert are really special. Thank you so much for sharing them with us!
So glad to see a post Nerd, miss yah kiddo! 👍😃✌️💪❤️ Hope all is well.
Haha! Thank you, I've missed you all too and I hope everything is great with you! Happy Spring
So glad to see you back! You make a lot of people’s lives brighter with these videos!
My little chickadees😘
❤Lesley♥️
I’m so glad you are back and also know that these videos you make take a lot of work and appreciate your time and skill.
Thank you very much. This one was such a joy to create :)
Glad to see you back, Lesley! Big hug from Detroit!
Thank you! Hugs back
What a wonderful adventure! And 13 eggs in one nest??? What in the world have you been feeding these two?? 😂 The large volume of a nest box could be a factor but the second brood was much smaller so....?
Thank you so much for putting all of this together. It's very enjoyable and educational for all ages- the rarest of glimpses into a tiny world. 😁🐦
Hahaha, only the best food :D I do wonder if the nest box size is what helped. Thanks for checking out the video, Todd. I loved making this one, the most enjoyable video I ever created, I was in complete flow state. Hey I guess boating will be soon huh? :)
@@LesleytheBirdNerd That's so cool that you had so much enjoyment creating it- maybe in part because you didn't feel pressed to do so like a weekly post? I find that disconnecting from a project then revisiting it later (sometimes months later) helps tremendously, like looking at it with new eyes.
Yes, boating soon! All the docks are in around here- some more prep to do then we'll be putting in many nautical miles. :^D. Will keep ya posted- I hope you guys get to catch a pile of fish and fill the freezer.
BTW I can picture the hatchlings saying "Papa, papa! We saw.... The Hand of Jamie!" "Well children have no fear. Gather around and I'll tell you about The Friendly Giants!" 🖐😀🐦
Hahahaha that was so darn cute and funny, Todd. The baby chickadees being told all about the friendly giants. XD Too good!
Yes, I agree, stepping away for a while and then coming back to a project is a very good idea sometimes!
Enjoy your boating. We bought kayaks a couple of weeks ago. I've never done it before so I'm going to have to do some practicing and safety learning but I'm so looking forward to it. :)
Have a great day!
@@LesleytheBirdNerd Kayaks are super fun- you'll have a great time! We sneak up on wildlife on the shores often, including fawns and waterfowl. :^D
Enjoy your week!
The voice so stunning! 🌹🕊
Thank you so much!!
What a PLEASANT SURPRISE! Sure is a treat seeing you post again! Hope you and your family are doing great! Planting the garden this week here in Pennsylvania. Are you gonna be posting now and again? I sure hope so! Love your stuff Leslie! WOOOHOOO! YEEHAWWEE! YIPPEEE! HOOORAAYY!
Thank you very much! I will be posting some more, just not as much I used to :) Have a great new week ahead!
Hip hip hooray!!!🎉🤸👍👍👏 I and many, many others are SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK!!!
😊💛🙏💛😊
It is so very nice to hear your voice again and see Inky and family! 😏 Plus, I think I need a new T-shirt...😁
It's so nice to read everyone's comments, I missed it. Thank you for the pleasant comment and support. Appreciate it a lot. Have a great new week ahead
Thank you Lesley!
welcome back.
You're back!!!!!! Welcome back Lesley!
Yaaaay!
Welcome back! You were missed. Another great video to add to the library!
Thanks a bunch! Great to be back
Was very happy to hear your voice. I have to chickadee eating my homemade suet while watching
Aww that is awesome. Chickadees are such darlings
Holy cow! I was JUST thinking of you and wondering how you were doing, Lesley! I'm happy to see you post a video!
Awww, so sweet. Thank you I'm doing pretty good and I hope you are doing well too
How nifty to see the different behaviours from the first filming of a nestbox, especially the dreaming! And wow, that's a lot of babies! Thanks for putting together this video! Your hard work is much appreciated.
It's very neat to see how different they both are. Inky is quite an interesting chickadee. Thank you for the nice comment, have a great day!
@@LesleytheBirdNerd She is indeed! Pulling part of the nest over her head to keep warm was so relatable and interesting to see. I do the same with my covers.
I really miss your videos, I'm so happy your back. 👏
It's great to be back! Thanks for the kind comment
Welcome back to you & the birdies that I missed sooo much! 💕
I am glad you are back. ♥ I love chickadees and your video made my Sunday special. ♥
We've missed you. Nice to have you back.
So nice to be back :)
Definitely better than anything on tv. Thank you.
AWESOME ‼️👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you! Cheers!
What a great video! Great to see again!!
Beyond THRILLED to see this video...missed you !
Its like reuniting with a long lost friend. Hope all is well with you, and thanks for this precious video.
Thank you for the sweet and thoughtful words, Karen. It's so nice to upload a video again! Have a wonderful new week ahead!
@@LesleytheBirdNerd ❤️
your videos are pure poetry and lovely learning lessons! how creative were you to camera up a nest box!!!
Thanks so much! Have a wonderful new week ahead
This made my day! Inky, Philbert and family are such a joy. Thank you, Lesley!
I love how you pointed out Philbert's desire to feed the babies, but Inky was in full control mode! Like us humans! Beautiful docu and commentary. ❤ Always a plasure watching your videos! Thank you again, Lesley! You're growing this community of birders! Have a great day!😊
I'm glad you enjoyed that. Pretty funny how similar they can be to us. :) Thank you for the lovely comment, have a wonderful new week ahead!
Welcome back😊❤
Hello Lesley, what a wonderfull film you made. It made me very relaxed and happy, thanks very much, Paul.
Wonderful! So happy you enjoyed it :)
Filbert trying to wake up Inky is the cutest thing, it feels almost human haha
My cat and I watched this with so much joy and cherished every moment. Thanks so much for sharing! My kitty actually fell asleep before it ended, too. It definitely gave him comfort to listen to the birds and see them moving around in the nest. So cute!
Aww too sweet that your kitty fell asleep. I miss my kitty, cherish your little buddy. Thank you for the lovely comment. Have a great week ahead!
I wonder if your kitty had little birdie dreams.
@@marthakratz7877 He may have, but he definitely had a dream where he was nursing I think or drinking his water. He was doing that little sucky sound in his sleep. LOL it's so cute when they do that.🤣🥰
Thank you, Lesley! And thank you to your husband too.
Ten more little birdies to brighten up our world.
It was tense, and riveting, when the first fledgling wouldn't eat in the beginning. I had to pause the video, thinking that little birdie wouldn't make it. Glad it started to eat - with its parents's persistence and instinct to continue to feed it.
Then it was so funny seeing all the fledglings asleep but once they heard their mommy or daddy calling to give them food, they would abruptly open their mouths to receive the grubs.
You are so welcome and thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful day!
My backyard Carolina Chickadees are about to fledge!
Awesome!! Best wishes to them
@@LesleytheBirdNerd They fledged TODAY!!!
Good for them! So happy :)
I have a family in my shop that is about to fledge too! I moved to NC a couple of years ago and wondered why I didnt see any Carolina Chickadees in Carolina but this spring I spotted one eating the birdseed I put out. Then I walked in my shop and there she was in a nest she'd built almost at eye level in a small empty box. I stayed out of there as much as I could and I think there are 5 in the nest. Been leaving some mealworms just for them every day and they are so big! They do look about to fledge but I dont have a camera set up nor do I see them more than the once a day I go in briefly to leave the worms. I'm so happy to see the little things, you've no idea.
Oh I totally get it! They really light up our days. I'm so happy that you have family. wishing them all the best. :)
So happy to hear your voice again! What a beautiful springtime gift, thank you Lesley! Hope you are well and happy🥰
Welcome back! Loved to see the new video. Keep the ratio between family and videos comfortable for you. Cheers!
Magnificent video footage of these beautiful creatures, thank you for sharing 👍🇦🇺
Very nice!
So glad to see you back again!!!! We have missed you....even if I end up chasing the cats away from the rv during each video! I hope everything is going well for you!
Yay
Nice to see you back Lesley! Thank you for the video!
You are so welcome!
so cute
Thank you so much for spending the time and effort of putting together this amazing video Leslie ❤❤❤ As much as I miss your regular uploadings, getting this video of Inky and Filbert raising their chicks was a satisfying watch. I think of you and your birds out east every time I see my west coast chickadees going about doing their chickadee stuff. What lovely birds they are!
Thank you so much!!
Aww I'm so glad your back Lesley blessings to you and your feather friends!!
How enjoyable this has been!
