Lesley, I was truly delighted to see a new video from you today. And such a wonderful one to watch at that. I was saddened and a little worried at your departure and now hopeful that things have improved for you. Say 'hi' to all the white throats up there from me! I miss seeing my winter buddies hanging around my back porch. ❤
would these lil nest building cuties make use of a furr ball hung out there? keeping some furr from a puppy brushing??!!😄😄
Great to have you back , great video thanks
@@Solitaire1 I will be sure to give them a treat for you :) Thank you for the kind comment, All the Best to you

You cannot keep a bird nerd down.
Inspirational!
What a LOVELY SURPRISE!!! Thank you for stopping by, whether it be for just this time, or maybe for an extended stay.
Leslie makes the world better. You make our Iives better.......
Yes, tickled to see you pop up in my feed, enjoyed some bird time. TY❤
I am sooooo happy to see you back! Your work is A+
❤❤❤I'm so happy to see my favorite bird lover back ❤
I think Inky was hiding under the fluff so Philbert couldn’t see her and she could sleep in 😅
Haha! You could be right.
So good to have you back !!!
May God give you the strength to keep going as you show us the beauty of His creation !
Thank you for these beautiful words. Blessings to you
@@LesleytheBirdNerd
You are more loved than you will ever know. Thank you for spreading the beauty of the creation in this dark and sad world !
And you are very talented.
Welcome back lesley 🎉 everytime I see a black cap chickadee I think of you and smile
Same❤
it's so beautiful how much personality each little bird displays when observed from up close, even dreaming sometimes! animals are so much smarter and more like us than we give them credit for
Sooo true!! Thank you for watching. Have a great night
So happy to see you with these beautiful little birds thank you 🙏❤️🙏
Oh Lesley! Thank you so much for putting together this beautiful video and sharing sweet Inky and Philbert's journey. What a gift! I laughed, I cried, I giggled, I smiled. She has a mini-me! Philbert snuck past and got to feed the babies, hehe. And that cute bumblebee when he tumbled down. So happy for the sweet, hardworking couple and all their babies. Thank you again for sharing this labor of love with us. Happy birding to you, too! 💗💗💗
I LOVE CHICKADEES!!!!!!!!!!
What an unexpected treat!
Thank you Lesley
A pleasure to share this video tonight :) Thank you for the kind comment.
😊Black-Capped Chickadees are my state bird (Massachusetts)...........and they have nested in a birdhouse I put out in my back yard.
So glad to see you back. You've been missed. I love the way you make such a beautiful story about the growing up of these little birds.
It's great to be here! Thanks a bunch for the nice comment. Have a great day!
YOU'RE BACK! I hope things are going okay. I'm so happy to see you again. Thank you!!!
Thank you, James. I'm feeling better than I was. Taking it one day at a time. :) All the best to you!
It made my day to see a video from you. Your lovely voice and all the knowledge you share is priceless.
Thank you so much 😊
What an absolute gift this video was. Thank you Lesley!
Thank you for the sweet words. All the best to you!
OMG so are you back ? If you are that makes me very happy.
I don't think so. This is the longer video she's been working on. I don't think there are any more planned, but I hope there will be more in the future.
It's so soothing to submerge myself in the beauty of Nature. Thank you for sharing 😊.
Successfully raising 12 of 13 nestlings is an amazing accomplishment.
So glad to see a video from Leslie! ❤
Missed you, Lesley, thanks for posting. An incredible journey.
So glad to see you back! You make a lot of people’s lives brighter with these videos!
What a wonderful adventure! And 13 eggs in one nest??? What in the world have you been feeding these two?? 😂 The large volume of a nest box could be a factor but the second brood was much smaller so....?
Thank you so much for putting all of this together. It's very enjoyable and educational for all ages- the rarest of glimpses into a tiny world. 😁🐦
Hahaha, only the best food :D I do wonder if the nest box size is what helped. Thanks for checking out the video, Todd. I loved making this one, the most enjoyable video I ever created, I was in complete flow state. Hey I guess boating will be soon huh? :)
@@LesleytheBirdNerd That's so cool that you had so much enjoyment creating it- maybe in part because you didn't feel pressed to do so like a weekly post? I find that disconnecting from a project then revisiting it later (sometimes months later) helps tremendously, like looking at it with new eyes.
Yes, boating soon! All the docks are in around here- some more prep to do then we'll be putting in many nautical miles. :^D. Will keep ya posted- I hope you guys get to catch a pile of fish and fill the freezer.
BTW I can picture the hatchlings saying "Papa, papa! We saw.... The Hand of Jamie!" "Well children have no fear. Gather around and I'll tell you about The Friendly Giants!" 🖐😀🐦
Hahahaha that was so darn cute and funny, Todd. The baby chickadees being told all about the friendly giants. XD Too good!
Yes, I agree, stepping away for a while and then coming back to a project is a very good idea sometimes!
Enjoy your boating. We bought kayaks a couple of weeks ago. I've never done it before so I'm going to have to do some practicing and safety learning but I'm so looking forward to it. :)
Have a great day!
@@LesleytheBirdNerd Kayaks are super fun- you'll have a great time! We sneak up on wildlife on the shores often, including fawns and waterfowl. :^D
Enjoy your week!
To have a mate so devoted, a couple so committed to it's young! What love 😚
That is awsome you are back! Enjoy your videos and commentary!!!!! Thank you for being you !!!!!
I NEVER would have guessed SO many babies!! Wow.
Adorable and Amazing ❤
Fascinating! Better than anything on TV for sure! TY for sharing and teaching. I always learn so much for you, Lesley.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for the beautiful videos!
Lesley, are you back?? How wonderful.
Holy cow! I was JUST thinking of you and wondering how you were doing, Lesley! I'm happy to see you post a video!
Awww, so sweet. Thank you I'm doing pretty good and I hope you are doing well too
Great seeing you making videos once more! 🐦👍🙂
Welcome back! You were missed. Another great video to add to the library!
Thanks a bunch! Great to be back

Wooo! Thank you!
Glad to see you back, Lesley! Big hug from Detroit!
Thank you! Hugs back
Welcome back to you & the birdies that I missed sooo much! 💕
Yaay! Lesley's back!!
Isn’t it remarkable to think birds might be able to dream? Just wow!
So glad to see you posting again! 😊Thank you for this beautiful & interesting video! ❤
It really is amazing! How much we are similar to them in ways we never knew :) Thanks for the sweet comment. Have a wonderful new week ahead!
Beautiful documentary of these sweet birds you have a close relationship with, Lesley. Thank you for taking the time to make it and thank you for sharing it with us. I love your channel. Your content is educational and well edited. Whether you're "back" or not, I'm happy and thankful for everything you've made available through your channel. Thanks again. Happy birding!
Thank you very much for the kind words. I will be uploading some more videos :) Have a great day!
How AWESOME a video. Great to see you back on Leslie. This was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much!
How absolutely special!! Thank you!! ❤
What a day! After 4 years of stocking 3 feeders month after month only today did we see our first red headed wood pecker, one of our favorite wish list birds! Then - Leslie’s back?! With chics, our favorite tiny birds at our invulnerable “squirrel buster” peanut feeder. What a special day! Thanks Leslie, thanks!
Awesome! Love it. :)
Was very happy to hear your voice. I have to chickadee eating my homemade suet while watching
Aww that is awesome. Chickadees are such darlings
Lesley are you back? I love my Dee-Dees. They hang around me when I feed them❤
I love how you pointed out Philbert's desire to feed the babies, but Inky was in full control mode! Like us humans! Beautiful docu and commentary. ❤ Always a plasure watching your videos! Thank you again, Lesley! You're growing this community of birders! Have a great day!😊
I'm glad you enjoyed that. Pretty funny how similar they can be to us. :) Thank you for the lovely comment, have a wonderful new week ahead!
I really miss your videos, I'm so happy your back. 👏
It's great to be back! Thanks for the kind comment
We are blessed to have you back!!!!
Aww thank you :)
❤Lesley♥️
Thank you, Lesley! And thank you to your husband too.
Ten more little birdies to brighten up our world.
It was tense, and riveting, when the first fledgling wouldn't eat in the beginning. I had to pause the video, thinking that little birdie wouldn't make it. Glad it started to eat - with its parents's persistence and instinct to continue to feed it.
Then it was so funny seeing all the fledglings asleep but once they heard their mommy or daddy calling to give them food, they would abruptly open their mouths to receive the grubs.
You are so welcome and thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful day!
Beyond THRILLED to see this video...missed you !
Its like reuniting with a long lost friend. Hope all is well with you, and thanks for this precious video.
Thank you for the sweet and thoughtful words, Karen. It's so nice to upload a video again! Have a wonderful new week ahead!
@@LesleytheBirdNerd ❤️
Tears in my eyes, I'm so glad you're making the precious time to share your love of birding with us! I'm so very overjoyed and thank your for this incredible and touching video! Peace to you and your family!
Aww I'm so happy to read this, thank you for the sweet comment :) Blessings to you and yours
My cat and I watched this with so much joy and cherished every moment. Thanks so much for sharing! My kitty actually fell asleep before it ended, too. It definitely gave him comfort to listen to the birds and see them moving around in the nest. So cute!
Aww too sweet that your kitty fell asleep. I miss my kitty, cherish your little buddy. Thank you for the lovely comment. Have a great week ahead!
I wonder if your kitty had little birdie dreams.
@@marthakratz7877 He may have, but he definitely had a dream where he was nursing I think or drinking his water. He was doing that little sucky sound in his sleep. LOL it's so cute when they do that.🤣🥰
You had two of the most invasive birds trying to take over your Chickadee box. The House Sparrow and European Starling. I love all birds, but the Sparrow and Startling can be a little annoying at times. But I still love them. I’m glad it all worked out ❤️.
Yaaaaay more Inky and Philbert!!! My cup runneth over. So good to have you back, Leslie! Black-Capped Chickadees are some of my favorite birds, and Inky and Philbert are really special. Thank you so much for sharing them with us!
The Cycle of Life continues.....this is just so wonderful!
Definitely better than anything on tv. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful bird family! It was lovely to watch! ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
My backyard Carolina Chickadees are about to fledge!
Awesome!! Best wishes to them
@@LesleytheBirdNerd They fledged TODAY!!!
Good for them! So happy :)
I have a family in my shop that is about to fledge too! I moved to NC a couple of years ago and wondered why I didnt see any Carolina Chickadees in Carolina but this spring I spotted one eating the birdseed I put out. Then I walked in my shop and there she was in a nest she'd built almost at eye level in a small empty box. I stayed out of there as much as I could and I think there are 5 in the nest. Been leaving some mealworms just for them every day and they are so big! They do look about to fledge but I dont have a camera set up nor do I see them more than the once a day I go in briefly to leave the worms. I'm so happy to see the little things, you've no idea.
Oh I totally get it! They really light up our days. I'm so happy that you have family. wishing them all the best. :)
Glad to see you back.
You are a treasure Lesley.
Aww, thank you!
What a complete, detailed nesting video! What a difference an 1/8 of an inch makes…This video helps me to understand how my favorite species lives.
Glad it was helpful!
Filbert trying to wake up Inky is the cutest thing, it feels almost human haha
Welcome back Leslie ❤❤❤Thank you so much for this beautiful video.
You're very welcome and thank you for stopping by :) Have a great day!
I am very glad you feel good enough to upload a video! ❤ Thank you so much! Wishing you the best!! Continue to only make videos if it makes you happy... no need for a steady schedule! We'll be here regardless😊
Thank you very much for the kind comment. I'll definitely be uploading some more, probably not as frequently is all :)
Welcome back😊❤
This made my day! Inky, Philbert and family are such a joy. Thank you, Lesley!
We've missed you. Nice to have you back.
So nice to be back :)
Yaaaay!
your videos are pure poetry and lovely learning lessons! how creative were you to camera up a nest box!!!
Thanks so much! Have a wonderful new week ahead
You're back! Yay! More chickadees!
First here! We love your videos Lesley!
Thank you so much 🤗
Hip hip hooray!!!🎉🤸👍👍👏 I and many, many others are SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK!!!
What a PLEASANT SURPRISE! Sure is a treat seeing you post again! Hope you and your family are doing great! Planting the garden this week here in Pennsylvania. Are you gonna be posting now and again? I sure hope so! Love your stuff Leslie! WOOOHOOO! YEEHAWWEE! YIPPEEE! HOOORAAYY!
Thank you very much! I will be posting some more, just not as much I used to :) Have a great new week ahead!
Good morning, Lesley! I was so happy to find this notification, this morning 💕
We love our local bird residents too. The Orioles arrived just two days ago, and we’d already had our jelly feeders waiting. Their arrival is my cue to put out the hummingbird nectar feeders. We’re still waiting for them to appear, and it could be any time now. Our neighbors enjoy seeing all the birds that come to our feeders, too. Often I’ll get a text informing me who has shown up out there. Always exciting!
Thanks for all you do.
Welcome back 💕
Welcome back! Loved to see the new video. Keep the ratio between family and videos comfortable for you. Cheers!
So glad to see a post Nerd, miss yah kiddo! 👍😃✌️💪❤️ Hope all is well.
Haha! Thank you, I've missed you all too and I hope everything is great with you! Happy Spring
Smiling
AWESOME ‼️👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you! Cheers!
I’m so glad you are back and also know that these videos you make take a lot of work and appreciate your time and skill.
Thank you very much. This one was such a joy to create :)
Happy to see new videos ❤
😊💛🙏💛😊
It is so very nice to hear your voice again and see Inky and family! 😏 Plus, I think I need a new T-shirt...😁
It's so nice to read everyone's comments, I missed it. Thank you for the pleasant comment and support. Appreciate it a lot. Have a great new week ahead
I can't wait to watch this video, and i will say, welcome back! I can't thank you enough for cementing blue jays as my favorite bird, and as such for a long time in the future.
That is so wonderful. Love it
@@LesleytheBirdNerd This year, I have only heard one a single time; maybe it's just a weird start to the year in Wisconsin, and they'll come back some time. I'd love to see one again, or maybe even get a photo of one. The day that I got into birdwatching was an interesting one, I had awoken to the sound of a blue jay and decided that I would try and get out of bed and pull out my camera to try and get a photo of it. I wasn't able to locate it, unfortunately, but on the way of trying to find it I had found a robin that I eventually decided to follow with my camera to see where it would go. I kept looking at the various birds I saw, learning which bird was what through google searches of its description, and even learning calls with some app that would say which birds' calls it heard, all the way until some sandhill cranes came, which stayed around until it got too dark to see anything much. That day, I had spent the entire day birdwatching, getting to see the sun rise, and set, all in one sitting, and learning quite a lot about birds. It was like something had flipped in my brain; going from someone with not much of an interest at all in birds, someone who had called a robin a cardinal, and couldn't name anything about them anyways, to someone who could recognize most of the birds I see, and even name a few facts about them. From there, too, I have developed quite an interest in learning more about birds, and a part of this jump into a new hobby was actually sparked by some of your videos, which worked in harmony with my obsession for the blue jay species.
Thank you so much for spending the time and effort of putting together this amazing video Leslie ❤❤❤ As much as I miss your regular uploadings, getting this video of Inky and Filbert raising their chicks was a satisfying watch. I think of you and your birds out east every time I see my west coast chickadees going about doing their chickadee stuff. What lovely birds they are!
Thank you so much!!
Ms. Lesley, I’m not sure what you have been through but you have been thought about many times! ❤ You impact our lives in so many ways. Please know that you are loved, appreciated and supported by the community you created 🙏, I’m in tears like a visit from a long lost friend. 😊
Oh, thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful words. Life can be rough sometimes, my spouse and family helped me big time! I do not know where I'd be today if it weren't for their unconditional love and support. And on top of it all I have come to see how many wonderful people tune into my videos. I'm very thankful to be this blessed.
How nifty to see the different behaviours from the first filming of a nestbox, especially the dreaming! And wow, that's a lot of babies! Thanks for putting together this video! Your hard work is much appreciated.
It's very neat to see how different they both are. Inky is quite an interesting chickadee. Thank you for the nice comment, have a great day!
@@LesleytheBirdNerd She is indeed! Pulling part of the nest over her head to keep warm was so relatable and interesting to see. I do the same with my covers.
Very nice!
How enjoyable this has been!
Thank-you Leslie..❤
Loved this….thank you!
I am glad you are back. ♥ I love chickadees and your video made my Sunday special. ♥
welcome back.
Thank you Lesley!
The voice so stunning! 🌹🕊
Thank you so much!!
So glad to see you back again!!!! We have missed you....even if I end up chasing the cats away from the rv during each video! I hope everything is going well for you!
Now this made my day! Thank you Lesley...so happy you're back
You are so welcome!
Thanks for this videoe.
