I lived 15 years near Tacoma before moving back east--it does make me smile to see these greedy rascals again.
They really are a funny lot these birds! But danger abounds and they must be constantly on their toes at the expense of noisy hijinks and greedy guts McGee behavior. You see they bear the burden of a three hundred year old curse, namely that of one George William Steller, naturalist and for a short while longer namesake. btw like the jays there are two somewhat specialized groups of people I enjoy in general and the rest avoid like the plague...birders and bicyclists; on that count did you ever visit Tacoma Bicycle or Old Town Bicycle shops? Cheers and happy birdwatching! Declan

Thank you friend! It's been ages since I had a comment on this video, I appreciate it 🤗 This was definitely one of the best nest watches I've done so far 🪺 Cheers, Declan
Beautiful birds ~ love the double shot edit, very cool!
Paul Errington (1932) wrote, the Barred Owl seems endowed with as mild a personality as a raptor could have and yet maintain a predaceous existence.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. It's really beautiful birds. Thumbs up. 👍 Interesting. Wish you a pleasant weekemd. Kind regards, Knut.
The Barred Owl is a very vocal owl and will frequently call during the day. The distinctive call is given by both the male and the female, with the male's deeper voice distinguishable in duets; the call can be translated as who cooks for you? who cooks for you-all? A variety of shorter calls, squeaks, and grunts is given.
Thank you very much for the nice answer. 😃
You're so lucky 😊😊😊😊 they're beautiful 😍
The breeding season begins in February or March, and the preferred nesting site is the hollow of a tree.
Beautiful bird !
Of the animals named for George Steller, this Steller's Jay manages to somehow escape the dark curse attached to the ill-fated naturalist, and thrives today west of the Rocky Mountains with an endearing and raucous bravado! Cheers and happy birding, Declan 🤗🐦🦉
They're such spectacular little creatures!
Absolutely, I will always be enthralled with them!
Wow - that is the tallest tripod I've ever seen😆nice to see your setup!
One tripod is piggybacked on another with the aid of duct tape. I wouldn't normally do this but the configuration of the feeder with its squirrel proofing required a good height to attain eye level with the birds. Mind you, I like squirrels well enough, I think they're adorable...on the ground 😊
Duct tape solves so many problems😂
@@MyaYard 👍🏼When I was a kid there was a TV program called 'The Red Green Show'...much of my use of duct tape today was inspired by it! 😂
🤣Yup - I remember that show, I get it!😂

Meeting this hummingbird was like listening to a song for the first time and knowing it would be my favorite 🌈🐦🤗
Great footage! We see Steller's Jays in Lassen Volcanic National Park and I'm always amazed by their beautiful blue feathers. New subscriber here ✨
With names like Bumpass Hell and the Devastated Area you must really live in an amazing place! So cool to meet a fellow Steller's Jay lover 💙💙 Cheers, Declan 🦉
@@okay_birds Yes, it's an amazing National Park!

I love this time of year!!! One of the robins that frequent my feeders was killed by a neighborhood cat this morning ( underneath my feeder) I was so devastated. She usually got peanuts and red grapes from me. 😢
That's terrible, so sorry to hear that 😢 I really love robins, I think they're the hardest working birds in showbiz! One of 'em built a nest nearby on the side of a storage shed, I'll try to get a little vid for you if they're still there 🐣🐣
@@okay_birds oh I hope you can get a Pic or two , Robins are special.
@@yourenough3 Very special

Tongue is so long 😅😅Sq up to no good 🤣🤣
The flickers use that long tongue to eat ants that might otherwise overrun my pantry to get the hummingbird's sugar 😋😋
Bam! 🎣
From this angler things look pretty good! Cheers, Declan 🎣
විඤ්ඤාණයෙන් මැවෙන බොරුවක් නේද?
ඉතා සිත්ගන්නා ප්රශ්නයක්! මම අහල තියෙනවා විද්යාත්මකව කියනවනම් අපි යථාර්තය ලෙස දකින්නේ ඇත්තටම අපේ මොලය විසින් නිර්මාණය කරන ලද මායාවකි. "මම පඳුරක සිහින දකින දළඹුවෙක්ද, නැතහොත් දළඹුවා මට සිහින දකියිද?" Cheers, Declan 🦉
Amazing shot ~ loved the full video too!
Ah thanks, I had fun filming this heron!
It takes a lot of patience to capture them while they busy in hunting..it is not an easy task as other thinks.good job indeed
I agree! Beautiful capture, great video!
Thank you for your consideration, I enjoyed making this heron movie! As for Patience, it burns like a pale blue hydrogen flame, consuming you invisibly. Also..."Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting." Joyce Meyer⌚🦖🦉🤗
@@MyaYard Thank you very much, I appreciate you! 😊
That look exactly like cuckoos egg
I didn't know this, thanks for bringing it to my attention! Turns out the female Cuckoo decides what color the egg will be and it can indeed lay blue eggs to match the eggs of the host nest! Brilliant 👌🥚💙 Cheers, Declan 🦉
Кукушка несёт одно яйцо в чужое гнездо , но лучше не смотреть гнёзда это плохо кончится для родителей . Мой совет ,а вы как хотите красиво но может быть трагедия.
Beautiful close-ups and details. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Wish you a pleasant Sunday. Best regards, Knut.
This was like the very last day the flower munching was on tap so I was happy to capture it when I did, some people don't believe me when I describe what these finches were doing. Thanks very much and cheers, Declan 🌸🐦🤗
Congrats.
very nice documentation
Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate you! Cheers, Declan 🤗
