It's nice to hear you saying how you're glad that the animals use the elements of the pond rather than complaining that you haven't had as many sightings as you wished, or that the moss is torn. As you said, you've made it for the animals and they use it. And sure they are grateful to have it!
Agreed! I'm sure the use of the pond will fluctuate throughout the year, but I'm just glad it's been enjoyed by the ones who have visited so far!
I wonder if the lack of birds is due to
Avian flu. Here in Stratford Canada we lost about half the flock of swans kept in an artificial lake to this disease.
Missed the opportunity to blame Biden or Trudeau
A Bacterial nightmare . Solar intsted of electrocution 😂👍🏻
It must be amazing to have such a good pond quality control crew, those racoons really know their camera angles
I don't know where I'd be without them!
@@StefanoIaniro How much do you pay them racoons?
@@StefanoIaniroyeah who’s your raccoon guy?
@@StefanoIaniromabye try solar panels 🤔
@@--------_he probably pays them with food
Never really was a nature guy but watching you makes me go out into nature a lot more keep the good work up
That's awesome to hear! Hope you've been having some good outings!
Thank you for another incredible episode. I have loved every second so far. How on earth will the birds and animals survive the ice and snow? So harsh…..no unfrozen water….no food ……
It's a good day when he uploads... Seriously an underrated content creator.
I've been watching this nature property series from the beginning, and love where this is going. Thanks for the great videos!
So kind of you to say, thanks so much for watching the series!
yes! me too! i always look forward to the updates
It's a joy to watch your uploads, you capture so much! Thank you for it.@@StefanoIaniro
Same
Your description of how "helpful" the raccoons have been for the camera was so fun! Better yet was seeing how great the turkeys have been enjoying not only the pond but the property. Even if it doesn't feel like a lot is going on, it looks like the regulars you do have are thoroughly enjoying themselves so far!
So glad you enjoyed, and I agree!
You should provide a heated drinking bowl for the foxes, coons and fisher as well. They are up and about through winter, ( though I think coons might hibernate, too)
Everytime you upload feels like Christmas day. Seriously these are pound for pound the highest quality videos on the whole site.
So kind of you, thanks!
This is unbelievably stunning. You do such wonderful work for our lil critters. I love it. Keep it up! So well done!
So kind of you, thank you!!
May I ask where is this place in the world?
One thing I’ve noticed while being a regular to your channel is how optimistic and positive you are. You don’t let things that didn’t go exactly as planned get you down. You remain optimistic and are aware of and use the ups and downs to fuel your future decisions. Not only does that help the channel have an upbeat happy feel to it, it also shows a mature raw side to the work you do. Not everything always goes according to plan, but you always stick to it and provide amazing work. Thank you Stefano, I will continue to say it every video, but you absolutely make my day when you give us an update! Hope all is well and I know we all look forward to the next update!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Nature is incredibly complex, so whether I have successes or failures, they both help in “adding pieces to the puzzle”. Even if things don’t go to plan I find it interesting and fun to try to figure out why 🙂
Felt so peaceful watching this video! Such a super job you did for the little friends.
Happy to hear!
I get so excited every time I see one of these videos posted. Thank you for the great content!
Thanks so much for watching them 🙂
A really good video for when you're just tired
Every time a new Stefano video comes out I immediately text my boyfriend to make a plan to watch it lol. Always a highlight in my day!
Haha, that's awesome! Hope you both enjoyed this one!
Dear Stefano, I can't express how much joy and peace your videos bring to me! And I don't even know if the magic lies in your soft voice, or your gentle humour, or the beauty of your shooting, but it makes me happy every time I watch your channel. Thank you for all of these!
Thank you for the very kind words! So glad to hear you enjoy the videos
Glad to hear your hard work is paying off! ❤
Thanks!
Just gotta say, Im an EnviSci student on my 3rd year and for our 4th year we have a massive project to just basically research/ get your own data about anything basically (within limit of course) I've been having trouble on what I want to do and watching your videos is giving me a few ideas I would like to do! So thanks so much!
That's awesome! Good luck on your project!
I had already said it, but each of your videos is a little piece of heaven to me; many many many thanks!
Keep doingyour wonderful work!
Love from France
Thank you for the kind words!
Having updates on red foxes is what I always look forward to, and I'm so glad they are doing good.
Also never thought that even a small bird bath would attract so many types of different fauna. Just Amazing 💖❤️❤️❤️
So glad you enjoy the updates! Thank you!
Your a special human. Wonderful to witness all the wildlife and someone giving them a helping hand.
Very kind, thank you!
You're* a special human ...
I love these documentary style videos so much! I have a smaller man-made water source for birds and wildlife on my property, but for many years, I've had the ongoing problem of foxes urinating and pooping directly into the water and fouling it for other animals as it's quite pungent. I am constantly cleaning and refreshing it, especially from Feb-November when they're most active. It's always been strange to me that they mark territory by deliberately fouling a water source that they use as well. Glad to see they're just fertilizing the moss on the sides of your ponds at your place. lol
Haha, yeah I haven't seen any videos of them deliberately doing it in the water, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for that now lol.
The birds do it in my birdbath..poop and pee that is. Then take a bath! Crazy.
@@leslieparker3914 The foxes also do it in my birdbath on purpose. I have small bowl-style bird baths too and the foxes clearly have excellent aim and balancing skills.
@@StefanoIaniro I'm in a residential area in Ontario, so the ones here might be classified as 'urban foxes' as they den in people's yards and under porches and everyone in the immediate neighbourhood sees them and the kits daily during spring/summer. It's a bit of a gong show as the vixen screams at dogs going on their daily leashed walks and they 'mark territory' on everything from outdoor furniture to backyard BBQ tops. Maybe the more wild ones in your area stay more 'refined' and polite. lol
Thank you for the update on the pond -- it will be so interesting to see how creatures use it in the spring!
Same here! Thanks for watching!
Those 2 wild turkeys are practically strutting around proudly like they own the place 🤣
HELL YEAH! As an apartment dweller, I love your videos so much. Amazing, man.
I love it that you have so many turkeys thriving and enjoying your property.
Pure bliss. This is how I feel while I watch your nature videos. I wish you could post more. Your property looks like a piece of Heaven. I think if I lived there, I would take an hour, out of each day, and just sit, breathe and listen.
So kind if you to say, thank you!
Seeing all of the different animals use the pond is amazing, but I have to say i have a soft spot for the bird life, they're my favourite. Also, I always love seeing the kits and how well they're doing!
Happy to hear!
Today was absolutely awful. Your video has made it slightly less so. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for these moments of calmness you gift us.
Sorry to hear about your day! Glad I was able to make it a little bit better. Wishing you a good weekend!
Why can I just give one Thumbs up???
I will definitely build such a pond on the outskirts of our farm this year!!!
It would be great if every garden, golf course a d schoolyard hat least a little corner with a quiet stone pile, a water area or at least some wildflowers.
I'd easily watch an hour long video of yours everyday.
Thanks!
It’s the little things that bring us joy. This is beautiful what you have created🌿
This is probably the loveliest video I've seen on TH-cam.
Oh I love this update on the pond...so wonderful to see all the wildlife activity. Love all that you do for nature and all its wildlife...it life affirming and always fills my heart with happiness! Thank you! ❤
So kind of you to say, thank you!
I love watching these videos every time you release them! it's so peaceful! Thanks, Stefano!
Thanks so much!!
Our cat absolutely LOVED this video! She says thank you for great content once again 🐾
I love putting little ponds into the landscape for the wildlife .. so much of our ecosystem maintenance is done with the aid of the critters, and they need that water! Thought for automated systems: Put a float switch in the top pond to close when the water drops, and another at the bottom, to close when it rises. When the circuit closes, the pump can come on, and cycle the water, without draining the lower pond during a drought.
I love that you caught the finches nesting .. they only stop by here for a quick meal before moving on.
your videos pair so well with a soft blanket and hot cup of tea. just what I needed for a friday evening! thanks stefano🤗
Happy to hear! Have a good weekend 🙂
A video, a blanket and a cup of tea trio up, not pair up😊.
That was a joy to watch and I’m grateful for your generosity in sharing this experience.
Glad you enjoyed!
Its always a joy to see you're videos ❤
So happy to hear!
So happy to hear!
Really enjoyed this update - I enjoy ALL your videos! The amount of birds and wildlife there is amazing and so lovely to be able to enjoy it through your videos. Thank you for doing this work and for sharing.
So happy to hear! Glad you liked it, along with the other vids!
6:39 the squirrel just looking at the camera like "I know you're there".😂
Dude… you’re amazing. Keep the videos and work up
Thanks so much!
Wonderful video as usual. This is really my favorite channel out there.
Thanks so much!!
What an amazing habitat you have done, I could spend hours just watching the wildlife enjoying the pond. Great job!!!
Thank you!
I love it. Thank you for this view of your bit of the world. You are nurturing something lovely.
The dislikes probably coming from the moss 😂
Such a joy whenever your videos pop up. Keep up the good work, always a pleasure to watch your content.
Thanks so much!
Love the way you enhance the territory in the most natural way
Thank you!
Nice video. very relaxing. I hope to see more videos of the future expansions. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed. I'm excited to share them!
Such great videos. Im interested in how all the animals behavior and habits change as the snow comes. Its so cool when you put something together and the animals use it as you planned. Its even funnier when the animals do weird things and use it in a completely different way you imagined.
Hahaha, I agree! I love the chaos!
I used to make wildlife ponds too. U love watching yours mature and that you have cameras aet up. Keep us posted.
It's the same where I live with the birds that visit. As an example, two summers in a row there were so many black headed grosbeaks that came to my feeders. But this year there were only 2 pair from what I could tell, and I seldom saw them. With all the different species it's different every year.
Man they need you ❤
And i we need you ❤
Lots of ❤from india 🇮🇳
Respect for hardwork 🙏 🙌 ✨️
Thanks so much!
Always a great day when Stefano uploads! Loved the turkey peeking into the camera at the end that had me cracking up lol!
Hahaha, they can be so goofy
Amazing work! I love how the animals and birds use the ponds and other areas of the property in their own unique way. Once the pond freezes over, how and where would the larger animals like the foxes find water to drink?
Thanks so much! And there are quite a few ways. Some will get water from the food they eat or the snow they eat. In our area there are also flowing streams and rivers that don't completely freeze in the winter, so that's a pretty reliable water source year round.
I just wanted to say that I love your content so much and I hope you have a great day!
Very kind, thanks so much. Have a great day, as well!
You are so cool, man. These videos fill me with such zen. Thanks for providing such awesome content!
So glad you enjoyed it!
This literally makes my heart so warm. I'm so happy to see people who have their own land dedicating portions of it to upholding the needs of the ecosystem.
You are so amazing. Thank you for helping al these beautiful little animals
This man never disappoints❤
Very kind, thank you!
@@StefanoIanirocan u notify us about the big pond man
Glad to have an update on this, I was wondering how the pond was coming along!
Always happy to watch your videos. The way you create beautiful resorts for the animals to live is really cool to watch. I love how you try your best to design them. Nature is beautiful! Thank you for sharing and educating us!
Absolutely wonderful and thank you for sharing. Your efforts have certainly paid dividends.

Absolutely beautiful! I love pond that you built! The moss is lovely.
You've given me incentive to put a water fountain in our wild back yard. Wonderful wonderful video. Thank you.
Hope you get some interesting species if you do! Good luck!
Great work, @StefanoIaniro ⭐️ your creation nurtures wildlife - a fisher! Goldfinch chicks 💛

Thank you for all of the beautiful views of amazing animals and nature
