Thanks for linking that documentary - what a fun watch! Here in DC we have a yellow-throated warbler that just returned to a golf course for what is now its seventh winter. Some local birders have started making t-shirts to commemorate it. I love the familiarity and the lore that develops around birds that regularly return to spots far outside their range. It feels like you actually get to know them as individuals!

Your stump narrative resonates with our experience of a barred owl returning to the same branch on our property.

The Stump is one of my favorite story of 2024! But it’s so difficult to choose!

So awesome! I loved the documentary. The three birders were so wholesome and passionate. And I loved the shredding guitar you picked for the wildlife camera footage!

Thanks for making and sharing The Magic Stump documentary!! It truly demonstrates that one joy of birding is never knowing what you’ll see. Watching it was a thrill and brought tears of happiness to my eyes, over and over. I look forward to your updates.
