That's cool you noticed, that's the most interesting part! I watched that scene so many times while editing the video. Her body language changes around th-cam.com/video/fAgNjD2OOOI/w-d-xo.html. She seemed to know the fawn was about to get a little spunky after it laid down in the water :-)

Thank you!

I love watching it, we caught it twice on this tour.

LOL, I did do a dance video a few days later. th-cam.com/users/shortsuEBwTBY9UC4

I had the same WTF moment when I was reviewing the footage. From what I understand they do this to claim mating territory, or to capture the attention of nearby females. Or you could look at it this way --> th-cam.com/users/shortsuEBwTBY9UC4

@@MiscellaneousG That was awesome!! Thanks very much

They are awesome!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Same here. Despite hearing / seeing them constantly… I still immediately think owl if I hear one near dusk.

CompSci here too, nice to see you drop by! Very coool!

It all happens in a split second too. They process visual data so much faster than us.

ROFL!

Your 'The Relevance of a Fly' video is genius. Subscribed! So many incredible frames in there and nobody seems to get it. The masses are so disappointing.

@@MiscellaneousG That's a nice compliment. I hoped one day it would reach someone who appreciated it.

"Plus, we don't know what kind of history these two birds have." Title was for fun, but you are spot on. They have a complex community just as we do and it's so interesting to observe. Loved your Shock-O-Rama list, and Saturday Morning cartoons!

Thanks, @@MiscellaneousG !

I know! I live for this kind of stuff! I've put up a few at interesting spots (and I'm adding more). I film wildlife a lot, but it's not the same when they know you're there. I actually had this one "framed" for hawks that have been landing there multiple times a day... sometimes taking baths. I zoomed it out a bit the other day because I missed a nice hawk, if not for that I wouldn't have gotten this footage. Very lucky. Glad you enjoyed it too!

@@MiscellaneousG I would be geeking if I could watch our local hawk. But lucky to see a super healthy doe with her fawn as well. Too cute

Thank you!

I know, it's perfect! The whole thing took some work and planning. It's awesome they put so much into their music (new and old).

They're super territorial 😊

Blue jay reasons...

Imagine if Mordecai's personality actually resembled that of a real blue jay :-)

I observed the Jay's around me and they are jerks to everyone

Jerkass Homer has returned.

They're not too bad around my feeders (ironically). Once away from the feeder they tend to annoy every bird they can find though :-)

Their lore suggests they will perform until they no longer can. Hopefully we are a long way away from the end of the tour...

Noise rock is good

There may have been some pecking going on prior to the incident :-)
