Oops! Bird at @11:25 is a female Summer Tanager, not Scarlet Tanager. That’s what I get for editing late at night 😄
This one is a little different from the regular Sunday Morning Birds episodes. It's review of last year's water feature projects and, hopefully, a bit of inspiration for anyone who would like to try similar projects. I was very happy with how the birds responded to all the new water offerings this year. The big puddle seems particularly promising now that there's a consistent supply of water down there. The open area it's in is so different from the more densely wooded land closer to the house. And the woodland stream has been a big hit with the birds.
It’s fun to see how wildlife interacts with even the smallest puddles, ponds, and fountains. Although I’d love to have enough land to build a big wildlife pond, I’m learning that small watering holes can make a difference, particularly if you have multiples in different shapes, sizes and locations. I’ve seen everything from butterflies to bobcats benefit. So cool!
I’m ready for spring! But ... they're forecasting snow here for us on Monday! I do enjoy seeing the snow, though. I just don't want it to stay around for too long.
Thanks for watching! Stay safe and there and I'll see you next week!
Some of the items I use in my projects (pumps, liner, filter boxes, etc) are available through the Warbler Ridge Storefront at Amazon.com (I'm an Amazon affiliate and I earn a commission from purchases you make through my storefront or links I provide - I appreciate the support!)

Note: Everything in the video was filmed in my hillside prooerty in eastern Tennessee. I use GoPro to film the birds. Some older GoPro Hero Blacks that I bought second hand.
Note anout the size of my projects: Everything I do is small in scale. I do this for several reasons It keeps costs down, allows me to build projects myself, and - most importantly - little birds don’t need big water features If you watch songbirds out on their own in the landscape, they gravitate toward puddles . And, really, small is just so much easier, particularly if you have rocky soil like I have here. If I had more land and easier to dig soil, though, I’d love to add a bigger wildlife pond. I love what Stefano Ianiro has built on his property: • I Built a Wildlife Pon...

If you enjoy bird videos with lots of nice close up views of the birds, or if you’re interested in creating a backyard habitat with wildlife-friendly water features and landscaping, subscribe to this channel and turn on notifications so you don’t miss any new videos. New Sunday Morning Birds videos are posted each week on Sunday mornings at 6am eastern time. The Sunday Morning Birds videos follow bird activity here at my Tennessee property throughout the year. We have lots of year-round birds but our most active and exciting times of year are spring and fall migration. Summer can be pretty wonderful too. The number and variety of summer resident birds keeps growing! When there are a lot of nice birds around, I sometimes post extra videos during the week - so make sure you have those notifications turned on!
