Spot on, that’s cool! My family has been tide pooling/ having a Laguna breakfast cookout there since the ‘60s. Thanks for reaching out!

Thanks for your enthusiasm!

Thanks for your comment!

Thanks!

Craziest think I've ever seen is a black bear walk right past me. Never felt so scared in my life.

@@davidortiz3094 thanks for sharing! That would be a cool experience. I just captured a black bear cub on my trail camera that I was super stoked to see.

Thanks for reaching out Tango. I’m curious if you would not handle an animal from an ethical standpoint, out of fear, or another reason? Personally, I’m a professional biologist and have a lot of interest, respect, and experience interacting and handling wild animals. And while I think it’s good practice to just view them from a distance (most dependent on the species and risk for them or me), ethically speaking I am generally supportive of it if it doesn’t harm the animals and provides an opportunity to educate others. I’m under the belief that no person will protect or respect what they don’t know or have a relationship with. Cheers and thanks for sparking the conversation!

Glad to hear that, we thought the same! Thanks for reaching out.

Yes, you can say that again! Lesson learned and I hope anyone else seeing this learns from my mistake. I pulling out a thick splinter tip from my finger, not sure if it was the tip of a sea urchin spine or what?!? Thanks for the advice!

@@BackyardBiologyBoys I worry when I see kids walking in the tide pools for that reason...but it's part of growing up in the outdoors.

Thanks for the kind words Andrew! That means a lot. I always try my best to prioritize the experience of our adventures over anything else, which makes the editing process more challenging. But in a fun type of way. I’ve really enjoyed this channel as a creative outlet from my day to day. Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing Jake! Nudibranchs are such cool creatures and are especially mesmerizing when seeing them swim. That would definitely be a memorable experience!

Yes, an amazing free resource. I find myself using the sound ID all the time. I love it to!

That’s awesome and probably a treat to observe their progress. I’ve been seeing a lot of fledglings on our outings. Thanks for reaching out and sharing!

@@BackyardBiologyBoys Yea I am super happy luckily the cow birds we got around here have not laid their eggs in the blue birds nest

Thank you Sir! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your kind words. It was a great trip and can’t wait to get back to Pyramid this fall.

Awesome, and thank you. Glad you liked the information. I grew up in the greater Long Beach area and still especially enjoy birding at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands when I’m visiting.

Haha, I can’t not go by our window without sneaking a peek at our feeders. It usually only becomes a problem when at the dining table and I’m distracted by a bird while in conversation 😂

You’re welcome! Thanks for the nice comment 👍🏻

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing and starting the conversation. Have a great weekend!

Awesome constructive feedback! I’m a biologist, not an editor (but as a small channel need to be), so those suggestions are very welcomed. I’ll definitely try to address those issues in my next video! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

Haha, love your brutal honesty! Thanks for speaking up.

Of course, it’s worth a video! It’s nicely made and a beautiful addition to his yard!

@@BackyardBiologyBoys sourpuss!!

@@giseleaparecidadesouza6029 I stand corrected. Edit. "It's a 'nicely made' box on a stick."

@@giseleaparecidadesouza6029 Thanks for the support!

Thanks for reaching out! I realize they are pretty obvious tips, but still had fun making the Short and developing as a new creator. I’ll be sure to check out your channel as it looks really interesting.

@@BackyardBiologyBoys you’d be amazed how hungry folks are for basic knowledge of birding and bird care. Nice job for sure! Thanks for checking the channel out too 🙏 I’m a new sub to yours and planning on checking it out too 🪶🪶😎

Very cool. If you do watch anything, feel free to offer any constructive criticism. I’m trying to get better as a whole; packaging and script writing. But I’ve just been going for it trying my best to be consistent. Thanks again!

Absolutely! And while Gen X has a rich history of exploration, let's not forget the adventurous spirit of us older Millennials (haha). I encourage everyone to lead the younger generations in outdoor adventures when you can, so we can fostering a love for nature with them and combating nature deficit disorder.

@@BackyardBiologyBoysabsolutely important to have access to nature 24/7 it’s no good to have a mere park they need the diversity of bush wildlife foliage trees insects rivers you name it otherwise they become consumed with ideas that monopolize their time and space for debt
