I was so thrilled to walk up on it. It was on the path leading to Fleetwood Pond. She was so careful to cover them up before returning to the water.

It was back again on Tuesday. I usually have four that visit my feeding area, but I've just seen one over the past few days. They are so comical. When it was sitting on the fence, it reminded me of one of those old-time caps from Daniel Boone. I'm glad you're enjoying the snow, too! We ended up with a little over 9 inches. Have a great day.

@@rowanholgate1435 thanks for watching. I selected that soundtrack since it fit the action of the squirrel. Very action-packed. Sorry it wasn't to your liking.

@@Cobaltdragon thanks, Elaine. I'm so glad they have recovered and are no longer endangered. I could look it up online, but I'll ask you here. Do you have a national bird in Canada?

@@Cobaltdragon It's always amazing to see such large groups of any bird. I know what you mean about the Starlings! I have a few suet feeders and one has a cage around it so Starlings can't access it easily. It's fun watching the smaller birds like the Downy Woodpeckers go in and eat unbothered.🥰

Thanks. I've been trying to shoot everything in videos no matter what they are doing just so I can see them in action. My tripod has definitely been a great investment! I love the winter when many of the trees are bare so we can see wildlife easier. Have a great day!

It's great when the sun is hitting them just right, but even when there was fog over the pond, it was fun seeing the geese. I haven't been to John Heinz in over 20 years, and at that time it was for training, so I didn't really explore as much as I would now. It's on my list of places to visit after I get settled in after my move to Lancaster in the spring. Kingfishers are so cool to spy on especially since they are so skittish. I usually hear them before seeing them!

Thanks! There have been so many in the past few years. I love seeing them at various ages when their plumage is different from the adults.

@@MakeMineMack I know! Me, too. I remember when DDT was banned due to the negative issues it caused for wildlife. So glad these birds have recovered. Thanks for visiting my channel. 🥰

So glad you enjoyed it. I'm thrilled that my friend invited me to visit. Looking forward to going back in the spring. Have a great day.

Thanks! I was glad it was happening right in front of me while I was in my car. It was a cold day.

Thanks for stopping by and watching. I hope 2025 is a good year for you, too!

I know, right? Definitely would seem to be a snuggler, but of course, being a wild animal, I know not to ask it to get in the car so I could rub the belly! I've been known to talk to a resident Northern Mockingbird along a trail, and have put out my finger as if it would come and land on it.

It was crazy! I thought I was watching one of those old-time videos where they would loop a bunch of people walking but you realized it was the same people over and over again! LOL. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for visiting.

So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment.

The dried fruit definitely stands out in the winter. Glad you enjoyed the video.

@@naitmer7956 they have a band around them. That's how they get their name. They can cause irritation to the skin if handled.

Hi Elaine! Glad you enjoyed the video. I love the fall and winter when you can really see the birds enjoying those "gumballs" as they are hanging on the trees. They can create an issue with hiking when they fall on hard trails since they are almost like balls. Take care.

@@Wondering_About_Nature much like I enjoy seeing the gold finches and chickadees on the scotch thistle. So cute and of course the seeds go everywhere, which means new plants the following year.

@@Cobaltdragon I rarely get Goldfinch in my yard, but the House Finch are cute. Right now the Dark-eyed Juncos are enjoying the seeds in the ground. I haven't had any unusual birds this season yet.

@@Wondering_About_Nature I rarely get to see the House Finch few glimpses over the summer but they are not regulars. We have Juncos now as well, they will travel when the weather gets warmer in the spring.

I'm going to miss not seeing the coastal sunrises when I move, but I'm sure I'll find some new vistas to capture it. Glad you liked the video.

@@Wondering_About_Nature no doubt, but you will soon find many other special places I have no doubt and looking forward to seeing them on your channel.

Ten is a good number! I love your yard and how much you care for it. I hope to do some videos of my new backyard once I get settled in come spring. Although it's quite small, there are many native plants and a small man-made creek which attracts a variety of birds. Enjoy your day!

@@Wondering_About_Nature thank you. Designed for nature fur, feather and insect. My happy place and theirs

I'm anxious to return in the late spring. He gets so many critters besides birds. I have bird baths in my yard, but when it gets below freezing, I have to turn them upside down to get the ice out. I'm not able to connect a heater to them.

Glad you enjoyed the video!

I like to add a tree or other vegetation in the view sometimes to mix it up. Thanks for the comment. Can't wait to check out more of your videos!

The colors are so beautiful many times. I love the sunrise each time it's visible, but sometimes it's just the plain old sun! :)

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed the little ice skater. They sure do adjust to all sorts of weather conditions. Have a great day.

Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Most times my sunrises are along the coast with the wetlands or ocean as the backdrop, but this particular morning, I wanted to change things up a bit. Have a great day.

Those smaller birds with perching feet seem to do better than the ducks with their webbed feet! I've seen ducks and geese on ice sliding a bit more probably due to the surface of their feet being larger. On Thursday, all of the ice was gone again, and there was more water in Fleetwood Pond and along the path with all the rain we got.

@@BookWyrm1060 especially if they get caught in a breeze.

@@riversandcoffee wow. I'm going to look that one up. Always love learning about new species. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🥰

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love just standing off to the side watching the birds feasting on the seeds. Some are so cute when they hang upside down.

I had never known they do this until I researched it after watching the fox. It was digging for over five minutes before it found something! It was nice to be sitting in my car while it was busy with its morning. Not sure if you're ever driven down Oyster Rocks Road, but this is at the end of that road. Except for really cold days, there is usually something going on in the early morning hours. It's near Hudson Fields along Route 1.

@Wondering_About_Nature Thanks, I've never driven down there before so I will have to check it out.

Me, too. Although I see them each year, when the first ones arrive, it's like I'm seeing (and hearing) them for the first time. Thanks for stopping by!

Glad you enjoyed it. It's been fun putting a sunrise video together for each Sunday. Thanks for the comment.

I love when there are a few clouds on the horizon at sunrise since it makes it a bit more dramatic. Thanks for the comment.

@@Wondering_About_Nature Thank you so much for joining as a member. I really appreciate that! I'll have a shoutout for your channel in in my Bombay hook video that goes up tomorrow at 3pm.

@@hikingoutdoorfamily You're channel is so informative and enjoyable. I look forward to looking over your past content and your new stuff, too! You're so welcome.

I love how the birds can hang on them and pick the seeds from the gum balls. Since most of the leaves have fallen, it's much easier to see the birds and their acrobatic moves. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. These birds are so plentiful right now and are so busy moving from tree to tree. They also can be seen chasing each other creating flashes of yellow sometimes right in front of my head! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks. I've never seen one alive before, so it was a real treat. I was glad to see it escape the tidal pool. If you're ever in the area of Fowler Beach, it's definitely worth checking out. Low tide is best. Thanks for watching.

@Wondering_About_Nature Thanks, I've only been to Fowler beach once, but this was a good reminder to go visit again sometime.

I'm so glad you enjoy watching them! Thank you for reaching out and leaving a comment. Have a great day.

Thank, Knut. There are so many around right now as they get ready for mating season which is earlier than many other birds in our area. I love hearing them call out to each other. Happy Thursday!

Good morning. I'm so glad you found my channel and enjoyed the video. I hope you find other enjoyable videos in my playlists. I am anxious to check out your videos since we seem to visit many of the same places. I, too, enjoy hiking and will be moving to Lancaster County, PA in the spring. It will be great to explore new areas after I get settled but still be close enough to the Delaware coast to return for visits. Have a great day.

I used to take my walks in the evening and catch the sunsets, but over the past few years, my body has decided to be an early-riser and walk early. With the sun setting earlier now, I might get out and catch some sunsets soon.

My sister and I were walking on the boardwalk trail and heard the sound of hooves ahead. We decided it was best to keep our distance and walk away after taking some video and photos. When we returned to the trail later, the horses had moved off into the marsh.

Glad you enjoyed it. Mallards can be so commonplace in many areas, but they are so pretty. Have a great day!
