I came for the birds but I’m staying for the Sarah content! 😍
Same here 😇
Love to see hear more of Sarah in the vids
Haha, she's going to replace me!
Working on trying to encourage her to speak more :)
Yay Sarah! Great to see you start the video off, not that I don't like the normal format lol. Love Titmice, so cute, and I also love Junko's. I saw my first in the New Forest in Hampshire a decade ago after 2 previous failed attempts. Was a very cheeky chappy and only 2nd ever North American passerine in the UK (first being a common Yellowthroat in Wales). Good job as always.
She's slowly replacing me 😉
Thanks Marcus!
That was wonderful! I recently saw a red-headed woodpecker when I went walking.
Cool bird, hope you enjoyed seeing it as much as we did 😊
I always enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for taking the time to share your adventures. Happy Birding!
Glad you like it, we appreciate the support :)
Wish I knew you were coming to Windsor, I have a reliable Red Headed Woodpecker come to the feeder
There was supposed to be a pair in the east of Toronto last year, but we couldn't find it. Nice to have one on your feeder 😀
Pushing that year count higher! Great venture into the US
Thanks bud. Onwards to Florida!
Great birding. I am 3 Birds ahead of you with 114 species so far!
Nice! Just Ontario?
We are allowing ourselves to go outside of Ontario (basically anywhere south of Ontario/Minnesota) so we will get a big bump on a future Florida trip.
Awesome stuff! You picked up a lot of great birds in Michigan! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks
Next stop... Florida!
Well you gave me a few places to check out. I did forget to tell you about Kensington Metro park. They have Blue Herring nest in tree's
Usually around 12 -15. It's pretty cool. I hoped you enjoyed the Michigan trip. I know a place I walk that jas several red headed wood peckers and a Porthonatary warbler nest
Hope you come back soon
Thanks Susan. Kensington... ahem... might... be in the next video haha.
That was one of our favourite stops.
@@BritHikesOntario I hoped you had bird seed with you. The Titmice and Chicadees love eating out of your hand. Come back soon!😁
i enjoyed that video, some birds i would like to see here too!
Thanks Nigel. Glad that things are starting to pick up, finally!
Bahahahahaha it's probably your accent and the way you say Antario 😂 I recently recommended your channel to a bird enthusiast. 😉 WOW!!! A bald eagle ❤ You're killing me with the deer and turtle 😊
I'm actually just testing to see if people are listening, MJ 😉
Thanks for recommending us 😊
I see you have the King's passport too.
That's Sara's, but mine is due next year. UK one is expired too... $$$
Very cool. I think I'm caught up on episodes after my trip to Panama.
Welcome back, Cliff. Sounds like a more elaborate trip than Michigan. Bet you saw loads.
@@BritHikesOntario It was a spectacular trip. We had 430 species and about a hundred were lifers for me. We saw some crazy tough birds like Maroon-chested Ground-Dove and Wrenthrush.
Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always, keep up with the awesome content 👍
Thank you, Miguel!
Ta-Da! Only 189 left, with this part. Was this the Easter weekend?
Yep, an Easter weekend road-trip. Feverishly trying to edit everything together!
Awesome video, I do lot of bird videos here in se Virginia USA. New friend here.
Thanks Dave. Currently travelling through Florida for a couple of weeks, but I'll take a look when I'm able 😊
@@BritHikesOntario awesome
It's a big disappointment to me that we don't get tufted titmice here in Toronto -- never thought of going to Windsor to see them. In fact, I'd never heard of that park. Could be a good side trip on a Point Pelee visit.
Check out FWR Dickson Wilderness Area not far from Cambridge. They seem to have extended their range and have been successfully breeding there.
Wonderful!
Thank you Carol-Ann!
I seen two Red headed woodpeckers at my aunt and uncle’s yesterday close up no camera with me though 🫤
I was getting firewood and visiting not out for Photography.
You pronounced Michigan correctly I believe 😊 everyone else normally says Mishhh lol
Oh yeah? Is that near where you are? Or were until you moved?
I'm usually hyper-aware on how I ought to pronounce local words, but "Mish" instead of "Mitch" didn't even occur to me lol
@@BritHikesOntario the woodpeckers I seen in Bewdley / Rice Lake area
Ohh hey have you ever seen a Sandhill Crane pick up a snake and fly away??
I did today and again no camera 🙄
Are you currently in Florida. I saw you listed in an eBird list near my house in St Petersburg.
Lol.. yes we are.
Mitchigan?
Yeah, I'm hoping it will catch on 😆
It took a while to get it to be On-tare-e-o rather than On-tar-e-o too 😉
Thanks and good luck. I found your videos while searching for Michigan Birding since we're visiting that area this summer with @dnasbirdingadventures . I subscribed to you too.
Thanks
Currently travelling but will check out when able.
