@@G4lacta If you have feeders and they visit, it’ll be much easier. If you wait until the feeder is empty and stand beside it with seed in your hand, that is one of the better techniques. It could take some time, but try not to move too much and they’ll feel more comfortable coming down to inspect. If they’re really skittish, you may need to play the long game and put a pile of seeds out, and over time move it closer and closer to you until they feel safe enough to land.

Same! I stumbled across these and love them so much, omg.

Our ponds are not nearly as big as yours but we’ve learned to attract more bird diversity by adding vegetation along the edges. Willows especially. This year, we have nesting Green Herons in a pond slightly larger than a two car garage. It’s a species that is not especially common here at 2000’ in the NC mountains. Shoreline is 80% trees and shrubs. Wouldn’t make photography any easier though!

Thank you again Steffano. I’m a professional, trapper, a birder and wildlife educator and I wait for every one of your updates. As a professional trapper who experiences both of the good and the bad side of habitat, on a daily basis, I have to say, I am amazed and commend you on how well and how thoughtfully you’re approaching the management of that patch in Quebec that you share with all the critters. Your thoughtful approach is so important and I wish more people did that I have seen far too many failures and habitat and wildlife conflicts so please keep up the good work. Keep sharing your photos and video since I’m a hobby photographer and I’m amazed at some of the footage you get! And greetings from just south of you a short skip!

Wonderful! I love that you are going to observe for a year and that you are leaving one pond for frogs and salamanders to breed in. Looks like you are going to have some good meals with those fish. You are definitely in the right area for warbler migration and I saw your video with the sparrow nesting on the ground. I look forward to seeing more of your work there.

It's going so well! What a beautiful place, you're living the dream. This video was packed with awesome shots.
