Bluebird Staking Out His Turf
zhlédnutí 33Před 4 měsíci
Eastern Bluebirds have been banging at my windows for several days. At first I thought they were re-enacting a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. Turns out springtime is their mating season and when they see their own reflection in the glass, they think it's a rival male and they try to scare it away. Quoth the Bluebird: "My turf, Bro! Get lost!"

    April 2024 in Spain: i need to fence my property, but not allowed to use chainlink ( the Mayordom has decided to declare my region a tourist 'wild' designation. So i am basically having to be Disneyland for the toirists, but no reimbursement for fencing. Thinking of using the split rail technique, but obviously not investing that kind of effort in splitting oak. We have lots of oak, but i would not use it for hhe turists. Rather, we also havetons of snagly pines here, and we do have to cut them, about 15-20cm diameter, to thin them out or else our millennial olive trees get crowded out,and dwindle bcs of too much shade. Can I use the same construction technique or will i encounter problems? About how long will such log fences out of young pine will last?

    Adding a distinctive name to your band could really set you apart in online searches and build a strong, memorable brand (I discovered 3 more bluegrass bands with the same name). A unique name reduces confusion, enhances online visibility, and makes it easier for fans to find and support you. It's worth checking Google to ensure uniqueness. The more distinctive, the better for standing out in the crowded music scene. Best wishes on your journey! From Brazil.

    Amazing work by this young bluegrass band - your chemistry is sensational ! I've watched this video numerous times but struggle to find more of your content on CZcams due to the name 'the next generation'. Adding a unique identifier to 'the next generation' could greatly help fans like me in discovering more of your music. You truly stand out, and making your band easier to find will only spread your talent further. Cheers from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!

    • @klondike108

      So glad you are enjoying them. Their great chemistry is helped by most of them being related. The base and fiddle players are brothers. The banjo and guitar players are brothers. Their mothers are sisters, so they are first cousins. The taller girl, Juliet, is a cousin to all of them, and the shorter girl, Lila, is the daughter of a man who plays in a band with the other kids' fathers. There are excellent musicians in all these families, going back several generations. If I can get a good recording when they play the June 29 South Branch Valley Bluegrass Festival near Romney, WV, I'll post it on my CZcams channel. This may be the only video of them to date on CZcams, as they are a newly formed local group. Here they were playing to an indoor audience of approx. 300. On June 29 they'll be playing an outdoor festival with as many as 2500+ attendees, weather permitting.

      @@klondike108 Thank you so much for your response and for sharing more about the band's background. I was aware of their family connections from the video description, which adds such a unique depth to their music and performance. It's fascinating! I agree that the chemistry they share is undoubtedly special, likely amplified by their familial ties. Their story and talent are truly inspiring. Regarding the band's name, if you think it would be appropriate, it might be beneficial to pass along the suggestion about considering a unique name. In today's digital age, a distinctive name could be vital for recognition and ease of finding them on platforms like CZcams. I'm also eagerly anticipating the new video from their upcoming performance at the South Branch Valley Bluegrass Festival. It sounds like a fantastic opportunity for them, and I can't wait to see and hear more of their incredible talent. In the meantime, I'll keep watching those beautiful 30 minutes of bluegrass you've shared on your channel. Thank you again for connecting and sharing. Best wishes to you and the band for the festival and beyond! Thanks from Brazil.

      @@klondike108 Hello again! I've been thoroughly enjoying your video and am genuinely impressed by the talent and chemistry displayed by the band. Their skill at such a young age is remarkable and adds a special charm to their performance. If it's not too intrusive, I'm curious about the ages of the band members. Visually, they seem to be around 13, 14, and 15 years old, with perhaps the bass player being around 16. This is just my guess, and of course, only share if it's comfortable for you and the band members. Understanding their ages could further highlight the incredible talent and dedication they have at such a young age, making their performance even more inspiring to your viewers. Thank you once again for sharing their music with us, and I'm looking forward to discovering more about them and their musical journey. Best wishes from the number #1 fan in Brazil!

      Figure a leisurely 2 hours. If the river level is low, you may have to get out and walk your kayak about 30 yards in a couple of places, so that adds a little time. And if you pull up on a beach to eat lunch, or go for a swim in one of the deeper spots, that will also add some time. I'd say 2+ hours when the river is at its current level.
