I think the woodcock really wants you to give him all the attention 😆

Just wanted to give you a heads-up, if you're not already aware. I reported some scammer using your name trying to get folks to message them on Telegram saying they won something. I find them all over in comments under so many videos. I hope folks know better not to answer them. I can't stand people who prey on folks who might not know better. That said, it's funny how a screech owl sounds more like a loon to me 😂 It took me a long time and asking the right question to the right person before I learned what was making that weird noise I wasn't familiar with only having been a backyard bird nerd until i moved to where i am now. Now I live right near the woods and large open fields and I hear them fairly often. I'm enjoying your videos and I really have to put a bird bath out for the birds who come to my feeders. Maybe one with a fountain for the added attraction of the noise. I so enjoy seeing the birds. Well done, and very thoughtful to think of the animals who benefit from the larger pond and more native plant life. I think my favorite bird so far who I see is a male red bellied woodpecker who is very loud and showy, he's such a ham and very entertaining to watch from my windows while having my morning coffee. 😄

Before KZfaq, where on earth did you document your AMAZING activities!! How wonderful! I didn’t have a childhood that included learning about wildlife. I’m old now, and I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed watching your wildlife pond develop and learning about birds. It would never have happened without your KZfaq videos! I was literally holding my breath when you were waiting so patiently for this last bird (the Woodcock) to appear. I just knew it would, and what a treat to finally see it and hear it! I’ll be back!

Found your channel (!) and appreciate you creating a habitat for wildlife and sharing photos of visitors to the pond. If you're looking for plant suggestions, Winterberry or Ilex Verticillata is a wildlife friendly plant that produces beautiful red berries that are held during the winter; I love seeing this shrub laden with snow and berries. The shrub is dioecious, meaning that each plant is either male or female. The female is the only one that produces berries and a male plant must be nearby for pollination (one male plant for every 5-10 female plants); I have 'Winter Red' and 'Southern Gentleman' varieties. Attracts pollinators to the little white flowers in spring, and the berries are eaten by birds in late winter once they have been frozen; Cardinals love them.
