Chickadees are taking over! 😀 BTW, here are the two charities I donated to for the month of February: The Ocean Cleanup ▶ theoceancleanup.com/donate/ Nature Conservancy of Canada ▶ secure.natureconservancy.ca/site/Donation2?df_id=4285&mfc_pref=T&4285.donation=form1
They've been reported on the decline here in the PNW, it might be possible that they've started to relocate? If the Moose are like our Elk, they'll suck your feeders dry...
Nice, Stefano! I love your work and ethics. Keep on doing what you love, keep growing and stay sound and safe.
Chubby birds are the best
As someone who lives in a suburban area but loves nature, I can live vicariously through you and your videos... loved it 💕
What a good soul.🌊
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that drones have changed the way that videos are filmed and create such beauty an at home enthusiast would have never been able to create before
Definitely adds an interesting perspective. Very useful to map out the property, as well.
Drones are effective during war too.
Isn't just amazing what we can now see without a big budget TV company deciding for us. The Malibu shark guy has jaw dropping coverage. Of course thank you Stefano for uploading this inspiring video.
Hey stefan try to make shorts of your sightings it will bring more views to these awesome video's
@@mikegarcia8038 Read the room pal. Take a breather
Those close-up shots of the birds are so beautiful ♥
Thanks so much!
I agree the birds look so cute
Thank you!! Your way of being, narrating, your nature shots, it all gives me a lot of peace and let's me reconnect to my heart. I'm currently in an exam time at university and I feel stressed, sleepless and not enough time outside. Thank you to let me enjoy a little through your lense. It helps. I'm studying forestry and you are an inspiration also to my future work.
Happy to help you de-stress a little! I loved the few forestry classes I took when I was in school. Hope all your exams go well!
Thank you!!
Hope finals went well for you! I’m studying ecology and plant sciences so stuff like this really helps me too. Especially since we’re studying to be in nature and protect it it can be hard to maintain inspiration when studying itself forces us inside.
Can't wait for the next one. I love your channel. Beautiful pics and excellent narration, you are spot on.
Thanks so much!!
Here in England we have a program called "Spring Watch" and it follows the life of wildlife in certain locations and certain species, I could absolutely imagine you doing this as an American version. You put together very engaging videos, get shots and story and a voice that isn't annoying, but smooth and calming. P.s I want a Chickadee, from the name to eating out of your hand to being so tiny they are awesome!
I know they're so cute! I live in Washington State, and I've noticed that they love water. There was a group of ~20 that would hop around and spash in the birdbath
Thanks for the kind words. I never heard of that program, I'll have to check it out!
I think it is a thanks for suggesting Springwatch. I am from Australia and just watched the first episode of 2020 on youtube. It actually bought a tear to my eye with it being about lockdown and the beauty in nature that people are experiencing. Very emotional!!!
Look out for spring watch presenter Chris Packham also a phototographer. We have winter watch and autumn watch too, but not a lot in the way of snow! Excellent video as always ❤
Honestly this is my favourite channel, Stefano may not post regularly but when he does it is an amazing video you can tell how much work he puts into his videos! Keep the great videos up Stefano! And Good Luck
Thanks so much!
Excited to be on this new journey with you. Here's to a great 2023!
Thanks so much for joining along!!
Awesome video the patience was definitely worth it for those stunning grosbeaks, excited to see how to populations of species change at the feeders throughout the year especially with spring migration coming soon!
I'm basically going to be living in the forest when the spring migration starts haha. So excited to see what moves in/through.
@@StefanoIaniro ooh looks like a great forest to live in, got room for one more hahaha. You should definitely make a video recording all the spring migrants that come through this year would be cool to see who comes through and during which months
I approve of you living your best SnowWhite life with the birds, living precariously thru you
I can't describe how much i love this channel.
So happy to hear!
I agree! I am so glad i found his channel
Let’s go I love this channel
So happy to hear!
Wonderful thing you're doing here. Its a dream to have a home like yours one day, keep it up man
Wishing you luck on your dream!
I know absolutely nothing about birds but how can I not appreciate someone who is this passionate?
This is why we should protect our world, nature is just beautiful, peaceful, chaotic and cruel. This making the most magnificent thing to exist
Seeing the notification for this video really put a smile on my face
Happy to hear! Hope you enjoy it!
Can you make a video showing people how you stay safe from bears or other predators or just general safety about weather/snow/storms. Would be cool to see how you stay safe and what to watch for when you're out there.
I second this!!
Every video you make literally makes me cry. You have the biggest heart on KZhead ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yessss, finally new video! Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Thanks for watching!!
the world need more people like you that actually care about wild live
That means a lot, thank you!
As someone who grew up appreciating and watching wildlife documentaries. Your series about bringing wildlife back, and further assisting ecosystems, has been an utter delight. This little slice of nature is a wonderful respite from all the bad in the world. Thank you for taking the time to create a video and share this journey on a wildlife homestead.
Looking forward to more!
What a beautiful ending ! So happy for you and this project , it inspires me truly.
Thanks so much!!
So wonderful to see you again. Your homestead is very beautiful and I am sure quite peaceful. I'm looking forward to the coming seasons and your new projects! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I think it's kinda cute that you named sparrow after his favorite meal🤣 Great Video. I especially liked these professional longshots of your fascinating landscape. I'm so relieved that there are still those people who are the same kind of nature enthusiasts like me! Just can't wait for the next update.
Haha thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it!
I found your videos a couple of weeks ago and I just love them. I know they're kind of basic, but Chickadees have always been my favorite birds. When I was a little girl I would spend hours watching them wishing I could have one for a pet. There's just something about them that I love...probably because they're small and round and adorable. 💕
I can see why they're your favorite! They have a ton of personality and energy 🙂
I adore chikadees, living in an urban area they are mostly what's around in winter. Watching them eat out of your hand made my day. If there wasn't neighbourhood cats around I'd be giving the feeders a try. You are very inspiring with your videos, very well made and heartwarming. Thank you for sharing
Great job making winter birding exciting! Looking forward to seeing what shows up in the warmer months ahead.
I wanted to express my appreciation for the amazing videos you create. Your content is always captivating and well-crafted. I eagerly anticipate your next video and can hardly wait to see what you have in store for us. As a viewer from Pakistan🇵🇰, I have been following your work for a while now, and I must say that your dedication to your craft is truly inspiring. Your videos are a testament to your hard work and talent, and I am grateful for the joy and entertainment they bring to my life. It fills me with happiness to know that you continue to produce exceptional content, even after two months since your last video. Please know that your efforts are recognized and appreciated, and I hope that you continue to make videos for a long time to come. Thank you for all that you do, and best wishes from Pakistan. 🇵🇰💗🙌 Sincerely, Sabih By the way this message was written by AI 😁
So happy to hear, thank you!!
Nature has its own pace, and we really don't have much control over most things in life. It's been interesting learning the ups and downs of this season. I am glad your plan worked at last. Thank you for sharing these beautiful mini documentaries, it's educational and entertaining at the same time. I love the narration and the editing. Well done! Can't wait for the pond project to begin.
Very true! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for adopting the feral kitty! Enjoyed the video too.
Don't get discouraged. With all the hunting that happened there the animals are leary of the area. But don't worry. They'll be back now that you're there. They'll have an awesome place to feel safe soon. ❤
New video let's go
Thanks for watching!
This is amazing! I am really excited for all your spring projects!! Hoping to see spectacular photos of a plethora of species :)
Same here! Thanks so much for watching
Beautiful darling boy..I'm from OZ Australia 🇦🇺 🌏 we don't get snow, well in a very small area of the country, not much to speak of, so watching the birds in the snow is new to me. I love them. Thank you..ohh Beautiful cinematic presentation....
Thank you! I've really come to enjoy the winters, very peaceful!
You seem like such a nice person. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Wildlife Homestead with us!
Was waiting for this update and was excited to find out it was in my feed this morning. How exciting to see the new species and the first winter at the property. Nature is truly amazing. Keep up the good work and videos
Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome video Stef!!! Amazing captures and footage be safe hope all is well
Can I just say how grateful I am for your subtitles? English is not my native language and I also already have some issues with processing what I hear sometimes, so they’re a huge help when I don’t understand something. Not to mention folks hard of hearing. So thank you! 😊
Happy to hear! I go through every video and try to edit KZhead's auto-generated subtitles as best as I can. They don't do too well with auto-generating bird names. For example, Pine Grosbeak was auto-translated to "Pine Grow Speaks" and "Pine Growth Beaks" which I can imagine would be annoying to anyone reading subtitles haha
Yeah I now that problem and I think there was no cooler way to get my English to a higher level before I discovered this channel.
I have the same issue... and i can agree they help!
I just watched many old videos and look forward to seeing what happens at this new property. Thanks for sharing your passion.
6:04 - NUTHATCH INCOMING! 😄 Absolutely amazing progress, video, and ambience
Wow. Could have watched another hour of this and I'm serious. Thank you for being such a thoughtful land owner. Pass on the vibes... and the wisdom. Props.
So happy to hear, thank you!
I love what you're doing and how you're sharing it, your videos are so fascinating !
Thank you so much for watching!
There is a sense of peace and satisfaction I get watching these videos that I cannot explain why.
So nice to hear, thank you!
Thank you for adding the high quality captions!! It's much appreciated!!!
Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always, I been having such a great time here in long Island NY, I seen so many awesome birds including bold eagles but I can't wait to go back to Montreal 🐦🦅❤️🤗
That's awesome! Happy to hear you've been having some birding success!
I really enjoy your videos, great work! I'm glad you had luck with the Pine Grosbeaks, they're beautiful. I have yet to see one.
Thank you! I'm hoping you get to see one, they're quite stunning!
Love the positive energy and the harmonious balance. I don't subscribe to much but this station is a keeper!! Simply beautiful!
Many many many thanks! This is exactely the kind of things I want to see on KZhead/Internet. It gives me peace, hope and smile... Kind regards from France
Thanks for the kind words!

So glad you enjoy it, thank you!
I absolutely love this! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
So glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!
Cute! Love the nuthatch dive bomb shot ❤
Glad you caught it!
Love that people still care about the birds in our world☺️it must be hard for them compared to years ago
I'm a city person and your videos are inspiring me to maybe one day move to the countryside. Keep it up!
That's awesome, thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much for your beautiful videos! I'm just in awe watching this and the way you shoot the videos and narrate them is so calming to me :) Watching this makes me fall in love with nature over and over again so keep up the good work and I can't wait to see where you take things in the spring! :D
That's so nice to hear! Thank you for watching!
the quality of the zoomed in bird footage is unreal, thank you for sharing!
Share this as much as you people can to support him ❤❤❤❤❤
Love it thank you for sharing
Thank you!
I love this channel 😍😍😍
So happy to hear, thank you!
I lost it at the nuthatch flying downward 😭😭😭🥲
Please advise when the documentary is coming out to watch snow, more snow, even more snow & possibly a little more snow in an unedited version as to not miss a single flake? ❄️🌨️😂 Thank you for taking the time & efforts to make this world a better place! Your videography is Superb!! 👍✨
Hahaha. Will probably be the lowest rated movie on IMDB haha
@@StefanoIaniro ASMR videos are the big rage right now so possibly it’ll be ranked a little higher 👍☃️❄️
Great video! loved the story! Also If you don't mind my asking, what lens do you use? I want to start filming birds too!
Thanks so much! I use the Sony 200-600mm.
I don't care if anyone reads this. I'm just writing for KZhead's algorithm.
The most beautiful and creative filming!! This was breathtaking!! Just epic! Thank you so much
The quality of this video is absolutely amazing! Excelent work ! 👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much!!
@@StefanoIaniro we the people who watch your videos need to thank you! 🤝 So thank you for doing this and for sharing with us ! 👍
What a lovely video!! Thank you. x
Just randomly found you on KZhead, now can’t stop watching your vids 👀 subscribed ! Love what you do!
Absolutely wonderfull, thanks for sharing. I look out to the next video!❤
This really is one of the most beautiful youtube channels out there. Keep it up Stefano!
Thanks so much!!
So beautiful and fun! Thank you for the video!
Spectacular work
This is great! Keep it up!
Please stream weekly I assure you people are gonna enjoy it
I have so much respect for your persistence and goodwill. And god, you’ve made me even cry when I’ve seen those little ones eating from your hand. ❤️
I love all the little details, and fun (sarcastic at times) voice-overs. I’m pretty new to your channel and found it not to long ago today, so I’m excited to see/watch your journey up to now. 6:05 NUTHATCH! Lol, got me a good laugh there. The fact you can ‘hand feed’ birds like that (7:12) just amazes me. You montage of the Pine Grosbeaks at 9:41-10:02 was super cool; I honestly could watch compilations of bird footage with you talking over it for the duration of my weekend(s). Your editing style and voice go super well together too (I’m a person who usually uses subtitles, but I found that you are really easy to understand. It’s also always nice to have the option for subtitles too✨).
❤ Thank you!
Can’t wait to see the Spring Project!
New favorite channel!!! Your videos are amazing
