I really appreciate that! I hope you get to see one in person as well!

Aww thank you! It was a pleasure to meet you as well!☺️

Wow! That is really cool that they wait for the mealworms on your porch railings and allow you to get so close! The bluebirds here are very skittish. What an awesome experience😀

Thank you! ☺️

Hi there! Thank you so much! Black oil sunflower seeds are appealing to most of these birds, so that’s a good place to start. I use a brand called Pennington quite often, and their Classic Wild Bird Feed has a good basic mixture that includes the sunflower seeds. I will try to link it in the description of this video so you can check it out. I will also try to link some of the other bird feed that I like using. Hope this helps!😀

@NaturallyCourtneyChannel Awesome! Thanks so much. I'm off to get some. My cats like watching the birds from their caged catio. Don't worry,they can't get out of the catio.

That’s great! So glad that was helpful and I hope your cats enjoy birdwatching😃

🤣 Hilarious! Thanks so much! Always a pleasure hearing from you!

@NaturallyCourtneyChannel We are having winter weather here in North Florida. Brrr! ❄️❄️

I'm fascinated by the antics of Eastern Grey squirrels. Watching now. I'm getting an education of something so common right in my own backyard ❤

You’re so welcome! They are super fun to watch, aren’t they?!😀

Yes, they are fascinating! I’m glad you are enjoying the video☺️

Aww thanks so much! Wow, how cool! Yes, I absolutely will. Can’t wait to meet her!😃🩷

Thank you!

I was off work today. I opened up the Jeep to air it out. A small bird landed on the window opening. As I walked around I scared it off. It flew through the Jeep! I didn't get a good look at it; it happened too fast. One of these days that's gonna happen with me in the driver's seat! 🐦 🐦🐦🐦🐦

Hi there! They actually have good eyesight. It seems to me, though, that they often defer to their sense of smell when trying to find food. I’ve noticed when feeding them that they will often “overlook” food that I’ve put right in front of them while continuing to sniff around 😂 At the same time, if I hold something between my fingers, they will take it right from me with no difficulty seeing it at all! Hope that answers your question!😀

Hi! Yes, I believe they do!😀

Oh that’s cool! Yes, keep an eye out for the downy and please let me know if you spot it!🤗

Lol it is normal size for a downy woodpecker 🤣 which is the smallest woodpecker in North America, as I stated in the video.😀

Thank you!☺️🩷

They are such fun to watch! I know what you mean about the shorter daylight hours too. Bummer.😕

I’m so happy you found it interesting!

Thank you!😀

I love painted buntings! (Who doesn’t?) We used to get several in our yard, but they didn’t show up last year. I’m hoping they come back this year once it gets a bit cooler. In the meantime, I’ll definitely make a trade! Yes, just one😂

I’ve never seen them in fall plumage; very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

They don’t change too much. The breast pattern has some green veiling too. They aren’t like this for long. They get more crisp as the tips of the new feathers wear off. I had an indigo bunting at the feeder in 2013-14. It’s new feather tips take much longer to wear off. The iridescent blue was almost completely hidden until late January/February. Then suddenly blue patches appeared, in time becoming more, then completely blue, the same way your goldfinches do. Must be neat seeing them change to bright yellow. Wish I had goldfinches, as you know!

Wow! Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. 😊

That radio man was Paul Harvey. He told many people the story behind the story for years. History is about what people do. The connections are sometimes incredible. Go read Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I read it as a kid. It connected me to birds and man's attempt to emulate birds.

Thank you ☺️

I know right!🤣

Thank you 😊

Thank you! I hope you are able to find one!

Yes, squirrels and birds kind of go hand in hand when it comes to feeding. You can’t really feed one without luring the other in as well! 😂

@NaturallyCourtneyChannel A squirrel proof feeder just about doesn't exist! Watch the antics squirrels go through to get to the seeds!! Might as well feed them nuts so they leave the seed alone. Well, that's my solution. My wife has a few squirrels that feed from her hand and very nearly follow her inside! Not quite...

Thank you!☺️

Definitely!

I’m so glad you like it!😀

Thank you! They are fascinating creatures, aren’t they?!

Lol! The red-bellies are so aggressive😂

@@NaturallyCourtneyChannel yeah I’ve seen them chase off Blue Jays when flying in the get a peanut, which is surprising because Jays are slightly bigger. They are much more timid with humans than Jays though, he won’t come close to me, but Jays will. It’s ok, birds are entertaining.

Absolutely!

Yes! We have a lot of them in our neighborhood and they are very loud!

😄

I'm a second cousin to a laughing hyena. Just trying to get everyone else laughing as well! (You did say the geese 🪿 were from Africa)

🤭

Lol! I have seen a couple of those types of videos!😂 Yes, they can be quite aggressive when they want to be. I just saw two of my little friends fighting and growling at each other today; I literally went out and told them to “cut that out” like they were children! 🤭🤣 I might be a little too attached!

Thanks for the compliment and feedback. Your point is valid and I have since lowered the background music in my newer videos when there is something else in the foreground that I want the viewer to hear. I have absolutely no background in videography and am teaching myself everything involved in making videos, so it’s a learning process. I add music to my videos because I love music, it makes me happy, and it helps to creates the mood I want evoke. Nothing “programmed” about me.

😂 Oh wow! How cool! I know you feed the squirrels; do you do any birdwatching?

@@NaturallyCourtneyChannel A little. Mostly when they show up I'll watch. We have a pair of owls that keep my son up at night! They're a Hoot! Haha! Some cardinals, jays, robins and the occasional hummingbirds. Of course the @#$& crows! So, yeah, I guess I Do like bird watching! Gulls at the county dump. Eagles making nests on tall power poles. Egrets and other long leg birds. And our favorite here in Florida, the pelican. The Pelican! Who's beak can hold more than his belly can! How the hell he can...

And ravens and sparrows and morning doves and and and....

A wise old owl sat in an oak The more he saw the less he spoke The less he spoke the more he heard Why can't we be like that wise old bird?

Cool! Yes, I love pelicans😀 Did you see the longer version of this video? It has a lot more birdwatching tips.

Thank you! I’m so glad you are finding them helpful!☺️

Thanks😊

Thank you so much!
