I have such respect for your process and knowledge. Understanding sustainable habitats and biomes as well as the necessary flora and fauna for native species to flourish. The effort, time, work, and technical skills needed to not only create this space, but to get ASTOUNDING shots and editing+soundtrack. Lets also not forget the willpower to NOT check up on the nests 50 times a day and leave nature to it's course. Just 15/10

This year we had House Wrens nesting in a box in our yard, this was the first year it wasn’t taken over by invasive House Sparrows. Sadly only 1 wren made it. But it was still great to have a nest I could observe so close by

@StefanoIaniro 7 дней назад

Glad one was able to make it! If you have House Wrens and you want to keep away House Sparrows, you can make boxes with nest holes between 1" and 1.25". Wrens are small enough to make it in, and the house sparrows won't be able to get in those boxes :)

I wonder if the native plugs will struggle to compete with all the grasses. It might be easier to clean an area of grass or choose a clearer area. I think you will have a higher success rate. Planting natives is vital. Congrats on all the work you are doing.

@StefanoIaniro 7 дней назад

Yeah definitely! I do think I'll have more success in the pine stand where there was way less vegetation. But I also wanted to do a test with the plugs in an existing meadow to see what the success rate is like. I'll be curious to see what the results are next year!

You have accomplished more in the short time you have been there than most people do in 20 years. I once saw a chipmunk finish off a bunch of baby robins in their nest whereas when the same attempt was made towards the blue jays babies, both parents killed the chipmunk! Makes one understand the different dispositions of birds and how it relates to their survival. I always look forward to your videos and the stellar footage! 😊

Haha!! (and I'm sorry!) It's absolutely true how our location affects our perception of certain species as we grow educated on what is native and how plants have spread (intentionally and not) through human interaction with the land. As a North American I know goldenrod as one of our most important flowering plants for pollinators and insects, and a joyful signal of autumn bounty! I aim to balance its spreading tendencies with other natives that do the same :D Good luck in cultivating and supporting the plants native to your area!

Thank you so much for sharing again and I learned a bunch more! At a nearby wetlands we get Tree and other Swallows, and I always wondered why they went after all the feathers that the waterfowl were dropping. So sad about the Phoebes but that is life. So impressed at all the work you are putting in to prep the site to make it more hospitable for wildlife. We are now in the lull period, where most of our migrants have headed south and more northern ones are passing through. Waterfowl are returning and soon we will see the wintering raptors arrive also. About another month until the salmon spawn and the Bald Eagles arrives in mass. Your video gave me hope for the coming winter photography season, birds are thin right now. Thanks for the knowledge it means a lot, good luck with all your projects.
