I am in the process of moving and it's been a horrendous day, with some tears. Please know that this video helped me to calm down and appreciate what is going right in this world. Love you you Leslie!!!!! xxx
It's so tough having to move, I'm so glad that this video helped you to feel a bit better. Wonderful :) Take care of yourself and all the very best to you in your new place. Hugs xx
Oh Leslie. So good to see this nest being built, the babies growing strong then flying off. Once a bird watcher always a bird watcher. I love watching my birds and my view is from my backyard where I have to put food down at least once a day. I am enjoying two pair of quail that have decided it's ok to be in my yard. I have worked hard to encourage them and get the chickadees and goldfinches in here too. My favorite bird is the mourning dove. I named my house after them. The pigeons and Eurasians have pushed them out though. I still get a fair amount during the winter and even less the rest of the year. There is no pushing the pigeons out. I don't allow the magpies, but I can't move those pigeons for the life of me. It is so fun to share this great experience with others who appreciate this delicate and very amazing world.
Great channel! We have chickadees juncos, purple -house- American goldfinch pine Siskin white crown and song sparrows towhee all come to the backyard. I bough a squirrel proof bird feeder from Home Depot but the metal leafs were hurting the birds heads so I cut and filed sharp metal leaves and removed some. All good now. New subscriber Canada west coast.
Every year we have a nesting pair return to the same box. I’m always curious if it’s the old hatchlings. I put out a newer box but they gravitate towards the old. Been quite a long time that they have been doing this. One year they came back and had a second brood; I’m thinking maybe the first didn’t make it.
@@LesleytheBirdNerd - I was diagnosed with Parkinson's this winter, and it's bad. Last week, the Chickadees were there in my yard like normal, and I said "are you here to help me?" They flew all around while I accomplished the small amount of grafting and propagation I'm still able to do. They *were* there to help me....
The runt didnt make it unfortunately - I didnt see the parents remove its body. Two plump siblings however. It was indeed fascinating - I know the number of caterpillars and such that they consume are huge, so the parents work really hard. Fabulous video, thank you so much, Lesley.
I have videos of Inky removing the nestling but I was worried it might be disturbing to some so decided to keep that out. Thanks for the kind comment, glad you enjoyed the video, and you are 100 percent right a lot of caterpillars are fed to their young. Around 7000 or more for just one brood! Busy little dees
Omy gosh Leslie thank you so so much for this!!. Black caps are so sweet and for me that feebee song is the best! Such good parents.. the bumble bee was interesting. Just amazing!! With the babies!👍👍🌎💯🌳🌲🪹🪺✝️
A crafty Carolina Wren built a nest in the clothes dryer in my garage. Silly me for leaving the dryer door open. There are 4 nestlings. I did a quick video but decided to give them privacy while they grew up in the safety of my garage. Momma and Poppa chitter at me when I go in there during the day. I just had a peek and look like all 4 are doing ok! Have names picked out: Low, Medium, High, and Fluff!
We were worried about you, our Bird Nerd Goddess!! Thank you so much for checking back in, we'll take all you're willing to share. Love from Massachusetts and say hi to our juncos for us!!
@@LesleytheBirdNerd I hope you know how much you are loved in the bird community. Any videos you are able to share with us, no matter the time in between, will always be appreciated ❤
Hey, Lesley-- Beautiful video, thank you 🏆 you're the very person to ask-- what's the bird song early in the video? I've always loved it, but don't know what bird it is. ("deeee dee, dee-te-dee, dee-te-dee, dee-te-dee") Thank you 🐦🙂
Loved the video, Lesley! Inky and Philbert are the best, and two healthy fledglings (RIP little one). Couldn’t stop smiling when I saw you had posted! Have a beautiful weekend!🩶🤍🖤
Cool! We have a pair of chickadees nesting in a birdhouse under my garage eaves. I set up my game camera to watch the progress, and on some of the footage I see another species of bird interacting - it's the same size, but a soft, velvety brown colour all over. I'm positive males and females look the same - so I wonder what this one was! It entered the birdhouse multiple times while the obvious male chickadee was bringing in supplies, LOL! Do you suppose he has a mistress? 🥸 Great video, Lesley! Good to see content from you again! Thanks!
I think you might be seeing wrens, either Carolina or House. If it's a House Wren there might be some problems because they are known to destroy the nests of other birds, but if it's Carolina it should be ok since they don't seem to do that. Best of luck to your chickadees. They are such good birds. And thanks for the kind comment. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
@@LesleytheBirdNerd Thanks for replying! Yesterday's observation of the Chickadee house showed no indication of any more brown bird, LOL. Just two regular-appearing black caps. I don't want to get so close that I disturb them. Now, in the spruce tree a few feet away, is a nesting cardinal family!!! So nice to see life emerging in the Spring. Stay well!!
Can you please do a video in vireos like warbling, blue headed, red eyed, etc. your videos are amazing and so happy your returned to youtube. Thanks for all you do!
Hi. Im so glad i found this group! I was looking for help with a blue jay issue. We've had a pair in our yard for 2 yrs. The other night, something attacked a nest they had. We found 2 babies in the driveway and heard one of the adults screaming. We put the babies in the catio for the night, making sure our cat had no access. We opened the door to the catio early in the morning because the mother was circling around the area. She went in and fed them many times during the day. It was amazing to watch! The babies hopped around in the catio and even flew from cat perch to cat perch. They climbed the screen but never realized the door was open. We checked on them all day long. So did the mother Blue Jay as she went in and out. It got dark, and we decided to close the catio door for the night so the babies were safe from whatever predator attacked the family, only to find them gone! My first question is, could they have flown out to join the mother? My second and most important question is what will the female do without her mate? She's been around today taking peanuts from the porch railing. That's always where we fed both adults. He's obviously gone. Will she survive without him? Will she seek another mate? Will she leave the area?
Only my two cents but your babies were probably ok if you didn’t see a bunch of feathers everywhere in the catio. Just found a spot they could fit through and flew off early in the morning. ❤
Lesley, you produce some incredible work in my opinion. While I fully respect your decision about further videos, I'd like to make sure you know how much even a sporadic, random video is appreciated. Right now I view you in awe, as a princess that all the birds flock to, but with continued education on my part maybe I could begin to understand how you do what you do. Right now I'm just basking in the beauty of that which you bring us. Thank you very much for your efforts in sharing your art.
it’s a terrific amount of precision work and effort to deliver those two chicks, to gather food and protect them.and then it starts again. just a bird?
Miraculous and beautiful. I remember watching one of your earlier videos where you said that a chickadee says, "Cheeseburger." I thought, man, Lesley is high; they are clearly saying "He who..."--two syllables, not three! But then I started listening, and sure enough, they often are dividing the second tone into two distinct notes! Of course, they have mastered a variety of calls. My young friend Reuben claims they are saying their name in one of them: "Chicka chicka DEE DEE DEE DEE."
I'm so glad to see you're back. I had just discovered your channel, really enjoyed it, and then heard you apparently retired from making videos. I'm really glad that's not the case!
You are an amazing person for being so curious and kind to birds , I have and I'm sure many others young and old, have learnt so much with a new found respect for nature, all form your hard work dedication and passion for birds !, thank you ! We are gifted to have U showing us the amazing world of one of Earth's most important creations .
I wondered why the sparrows were not renting my clean birdhouse, first in 22 years . Its because chickadees took possession first ! First noticed them more often around the feeder, going often to the cedar close to the rent , they are very discrete comming an going to home . Nice to see evolution inside, thanks for video.
Thank you Lesley! Really nice illustration of why we all must plant native host plants - the babies eat the caterpillars that are eating the leaves of host plants. National Wildlife Federation plant finder can help.
As in all of life, timing can be tricky. Still, to bring two fledglings up is no small accomplishment. That was a big meal; the youngster was determined to get it down!
So Lesley, our chickadees had a brood the exact day I left my last blacked capped comment!! OMG a yard full of blackcaps - so adorbs - BUT so far two decided to stake residency in the bottle brush trees in the backyard (with the feeders) now that they know how to get seeds out of them and how to eat them. They are really cute!!!
With all the bad news, it's really a relief to watch your videos again, I didn't want to believe that it's was over for ever, in life sharing may be the most important thing, I see so many interesting comments, sharing both ways.
So glad you're back and in such fabulously delightful timelapse of our Chickadee friends. Really appreciate the setup and editing work. Fascinating and precious!

So glad you're back! Watching this wonderful bird mom and dad raise their little ones-what a happy and joyful start to Mother's Day weekend! A very thoughtful and appropo choice of a post! Happy Mother's Day to you, Lesley, (if you're a mom?) and all the moms out there-feathered or not! 🪶🥰
It's wonderful to watch them build their nest. You got some great shots. My blue tits are still busy raising the chicks. They laid 11 eggs. I can't say yet how many chicks have hatched, but there are probably more than in previous years.
Hey! Thank you very much! I was very sad to go, but there was soo much distressing things going on in my life. I really felt I needed to leave for good. Although I'm back I don't see it being quite like it was before. My main objective is to complete the many unfinished projects I left behind. Who knows though how things will unfold as time goes on. :)
Awwwww!! Inky and Philbert are so sweet to each other and are such hardworking parents! I'm still blown away by how many worms they're able to find for their babies - and that's just one chickadee family! Seeing that wayward bumblebee made me giggle all over again, hehe. So sweet knowing that these two brood 2 siblings are out there, exploring the wide world around them. I wonder if they got to see the aurora last night, hehehe. Thank you for putting together this incredible timelapse for us! 💗

Good luck, moving is never easy.
So glad that you are back and posting videos again! 😊
They were such good parents! Thank you for posting again, Lesley - enjoyed this very much!!
Great parents indeed :) I'll be posting more videos yet.

So precious, i have had a mallard nest in my backyard returning for 5 years in a row, one year she did 2 batches.😊
RIP corner baby
Wasn't that the first one to hatch after the mama dug it out?
😢
😭
🍳
it was surprising it still hatched after being without warmth for multiple days, but they were just too smol to compete with its siblings :(
Thanks..love this and all ur vids!!!!
Thank you very much!
So happy to have you creating content that makes my day. ❤ I recently learned that birds are now called avian dinosaurs, about darn time 😅
Thank you very much, birds are awesome creatures, always something cool to learn about them :)
I thought they were forgetting about the first egg. So glad they got it in the nest
Was it the one that died because he hatched later?
Yes, that is the one. It was sad.
Coperation and loving is very importent for still alive...nice bird👍
Poor 3rd Bird :( Loved seeing the Bumble checking out his neighbors house!
THE BEE visitor!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha! I know right?! So cute

Wonderful! Didn't see third baby hatch... What became of the egg?
It started hatching around 4:10 the baby didn't make it though because it hatched to far behind the other two.
@@LesleytheBirdNerd thanks for the answer
Awesome!!
Thank you! Cheers!
06:46 when your mom storms in demanding to know who's making all the ruckus, and te you have a screaming match, blaming each other.

don't you normally put wood shavings in the nesting boxes for chickadees to excavate their nests?
Im trying to befriend a squirrel that lives in a tree in my backyard. He/she is awfully friendly. I got my pecans ready 🤣
What type of camera are you using?
Why was the one egg hidden?
first i saw 2 eggs but as of now only one left
look at the little cheese burgers
😆🐝🐝I love how the bumble bee was checking out the pad......Lol
That bumble bee was awesome!
@@LesleytheBirdNerd 😊Yes it was.......I love seeing them around my yard. 🐝💛
The bumblebee even helped, it dragged some hair into the nest. 😂

I moved from CT to NYC. I miss these sweet little critters. Thanks for this precious view
Aww so sorry, I bet the city birds can be just as fun to watch. Thank you for watching :)
I’m sorry for your loss

Squabbling whenever their parents aren't home 😅
The forest is a Nation State
Where i can relate
The skittering of critters
Is a change of pace
Its a sacred place
Full of sacred grace
Pleasantries of plenty trees
Plenty seeds to grow
A change of fate
Foggy mist in the morning
Spruce trees in a drawing
I exist without falling
Yawning need coffee in the morning
The red sky warning
Birds of the same feather
Sometimes fall in love
In the midst of rainy weather
Mating for life
Love changing the grains of their eyes
New fledglings,the best things
Stay nesting,resting
Til they are brought food
Bugs and grubs ingesting
To learn the ways of the world
The ways of the birds
Ceremonial songs are sung,spoke and heard
I give tufts of dog fur to help make nests
Everyday with the birds
My heart feels blessed
Sadness disappears from my chest
Replaced by a smile feels best
Songbirds chirp the chorus
Zipping through the corridors
Of the paths in the forest
Endless wilderness
I cant wait to explore it🌲
Tye way she fluffed her down feathers on day 18 & 19, anticipating their birth! 🥰

Although I'm back I don't see it being quite like it was before. My main objective is to complete the many unfinished projects I left behind. Who knows though how things will unfold as time goes on. :)
Awwwww!! Inky and Philbert are so sweet to each other and are such hardworking parents! I'm still blown away by how many worms they're able to find for their babies - and that's just one chickadee family! Seeing that wayward bumblebee made me giggle all over again, hehe. So sweet knowing that these two brood 2 siblings are out there, exploring the wide world around them. I wonder if they got to see the aurora last night, hehehe. Thank you for putting together this incredible timelapse for us! 💗
