24 HOURS of Bird Migration on my Wildlife Homestead!

Bird migration is the busiest, and most exciting time of the year for birders. I spent 24 hours on my wildlife homestead trying to see as many species as I could!

I'll be donating a portion of the AdSense earned this month to the Canadian Red Cross to help fight the wildfires spreading through Quebec:

Thanks so much for all of you checking in to see how we're doing with all the wildfires in Quebec right now. We're all good here, and have been largely unaffected by the fires, luckily. Hope you're all safe and enjoying the season!

PS. For those of you who were asking about the full bird species list from the property since moving in, it's in the description of the video🐦 We're so close to 100 total species!

[christophiano]

I think it is so unbelievably impressive that people like you recognize all these birds just by hearing their songs... :o

[GoodReads]

After watching any of these videos who else wants to either build a wildlife pond or buy a homestead and birdwatch by it.

[JustineAprilJ]

Birdwatching is so underrated. So happy to have found this channel!

[arthurjohnson]

I love how wholesome these videos are :-)

[fernandoish]

Damn, you guys have some biodiversity in Quebec.
I’m from northern Spain and I own a little land with a patch of forest in a mountainous area and I’ve counted up to 47 bird species (seen only from the land and including flying birds passing by). I thought that was pretty good but now I see I have to catch up, lol.
I’m sure you’ll make it to a hundred soon!

[CWS-hz]

Thank you for sharing your Big Day with us. So many beautiful birds and songs, as well as a parade of interesting animals!

[marianamauricio]

your videos are so nice and calming i love them so much <3

[Ben-zqtb]

Hey Stefano I just wanted to say that I really appreciate what you're doing. I think you're living my dream right now so I'm really glad you're sharing it with us

[duckypam]

What a patch you have! I really enjoyed this video. Kudos for maintaining great habitat for these sweet critters

[wildlifelouie]

I can't even describe how much joy your videos bring me. Best wishes from the UK

[tree]

im not sure anyone has mentioned this, but im personally really grateful for the subtitles because its hard for me to keep track of anything in most videos without subtitles. thank you to whoever does them. also, great video. i can barely even name the species by their looks and youre recognising them by calls.

[rodrigoarcangelo]

Imagine being so in touch with nature that having friendly birds landing you constantly is a nuisance😂😂

You look like a Disney princess, I love your videos

[sparrowjax]

Every time I log into YouTube I check which of my subscriptions have uploaded and I'm always happiest when it's you 😊

[spacekat]

As usual, this video is an absolute pleasure. I love earing birds sings as I waking up, but this, is an other level, it's an whole little universe.
Can't wait the future videos around and in the ponds...
Much love from France

[leslieparker]

Loved this “ Big Day “ 24 hr birdwatch! Thank you!😊

[amandab]

I'm not new to birding by any means but I still struggle with warbler calls because I don't get to see/hear them often. I have CDs I study from but there is something about watching the bird sing that I found really helpful. Thank you for that!

[RachelWhelton]

Jackpot video! I am so glad I found your channel. This kind of video and footage inspires me to consider carrying a telephoto lens on my backpacking trips so I can include better bird images in my backpacking videos (New Hampshire). Seeing your great footage and hearing the sounds is so enjoyable because we share similar species coming through. It's very nice how you make this video with the clear imagery, wonderful songs, and the name of the birds. Great work.

[mariegoldsworthy]

WOW! Moose! I love how much information and observation you provide in theses videos!

[malolm]

I've been watching your channel for a while and I just have to say you've improved so much, your camera work and narration is absolutely phnomenal, and you're also ridiculously underrated but I have a feeling you're going to top the charts one day. Beautiful work Stefano this video was incredibly well done regardless of if you hit your goal or not.
