Maybe you are running out of topics? How about do a video about unusual, deformed beaks. I have a feeder right on my window for small birds to avoid the big competition at the other feeder. Anyway, a new bird intrigued me, it looked similar to a nuthatch, but had a long curved, pointy beak, like a Curlew. (But not that drastic) Anyway, from what I read, I guess there are a rash of birds that have enlarged beaks, cause unknown. But this is a group of Nuthatches that have enlarged beaks, I have video, but I'm still trying to get the one with the longest, curved beak. The others are only a bit larger.

I'm going through a very hard time in my life, which is why I'm not putting out my usual content these days. There are several video projects waiting to come to completion, and I do hope to get back on my feet soon so I can continue to do what I love. Thank you for the suggestion on unusual beaks, I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Dang, I'm very sorry to hear. I don't know how to advise you on an unknown private topic, but you are an amazing person with a heart of gold. I was in a serious accident and was hospitalized for an extended while. My wife left me. Lost my house and everything I owned, etc. I was so depressed, suicidal, but I found your channel. I have been feeding birds for a few months and have some Titmice and Chickadees that are so close to eating from my hand. It really makes my day as I get back into life. I am 98% better. Your videos and the birds have been miraculous. I know this is TMI, but I want you to know that you have helped, and there are many more lives you have enriched. If I could help you, I would. Hang in there. @@LesleytheBirdNerd

Loon family in a thunderstorm may be the most relaxing thing I've seen all year. Thank you.

Like water off a loon’s back 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

Thank you Lesley, If the Loons were in the heavy rain it means that you were too. I appreciate all that you do.

Absolutely beautiful, soulful video! The call of the wild is never as haunting and spiritual as the Loon call💖🕊

This is one of your best videos to date, and my favorite so far. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us. Have a great week.

What a day to be a loon..! Peaceful, and serene. Nature as it should be.

Gorgeous birds, captured in their beautiful natural surroundings! I've been lucky enough to see loons on summer vacations in Maine, and then in winter a few times when I lived in Tennessee. Just magnificent birds, and their call is the heartsong of Nature. Thank you for this wonderful video!❤

The loon call is definitely a sound you feel with your whole body. Stunning loon family!

How transcendently beautiful; visually, aurally and emotionally. Thanks so much!

In the light of the silent stars that shine on the struggling sea, In the weary cry of the wind and the whisper of flower and tree, Under the breath of laughter, deep in the tide of tears, I hear the Loom of the Weaver that weaves the Web of Years.... A. Noyes

Totally a zen video. Sweet serenity abounds. Thank you.

I know, isn't that beautiful?! I couldn't stop looking at it, and I found it also looked like diamond jewels hitting the surface. Such a breathtaking experience, and it all happened unexpectedly. Thank you for the kind words :)

When I was a small child living in southern Ohio we used to hear whip poor wills in the evening. I haven’t heard them in years. Love hearing the Loons.

Exactly! Their song/sound! Exactly! The FIRST time I heard of a loon was on the Andy Griffith Show many years ago. Thanks Lesley❤️

Brought me back to summers in Maine when I was a child. Falling asleep to the sounds of the loons calling on the lake. Such a lovely, soulful sound.

A moment in time, the life of 4 beautiful animals. Thank you.

Beautiful ! I set it to play on a loop. If it works, I'm going to use it to fall asleep at night. This is going to get a ton of views. Thank you.

Loons are marvelous birds. When I hear them calling up & down the lake at night, it’s reassuring. We know the lake is in good shape. Watching them fish is impressive, especially when they team up. The juveniles are hilarious when they get together, & the males try to show off for the females much like human teens.

I miss visiting remote Maine lakes and getting the opportunity to see loons up close and in person ❤ Thank you for this beautiful video ❤❤

Loons are my favorite birds. Thanks Lesley

Beautiful pattern on these loons... love there song, & the little one's sure have grown...

I recently had a wonderful encounter with the resident loons on a northern Wisconsin lake where we were staying. Heading back to the dock after one last kayak trip around the cove, I spotted two loons right up by the dock -- the closest they had been to us! I silently glided up right between them, using my hands as rudders to slow myself down so the paddle wouldn't startle them. I stopped right in the middle of them, and saw the younger one eye me up before diving under. The one to my right in deeper water was so big! He looked at me and decided I was okay and just part of the lake, and I got to share space with him for a little while before he decided to dive under for a snack. My heart was filled, and my eyes filled, too. What a great joy it was to share in this moment with these beautiful loons! Thanks for this video, Lesley. I will play this vide whenever I need to relax. Thank you for the joy you bring by sharing your love for birds and nature.

Thank you, Lesley, for providing us with the most beautiful and relaxing ASMR that I have seen/heard in a very long time! Such a sweet and endearing loon family out for an excursion in nature❣️
