1:50 I had seen these all the time where I’m from in NC. One even chased me at 3am once when I was otw back inside the house. I wanted to hurry up and get in since it was late and started to pick up my pace to a light jog and as soon as I did I heard a bunch of leaves ruffling and the I saw these huge glowing eyes 😆 luckily it was on the other side of the fence of our neighbors property so I was good but damn my if my heart didn’t start racing! 😅

Came here from the frederick sjöberg book

"grand-mac-daddy of fish ladders" really got me

Sawfly larvae actually. I learned through some research that they emerge at about 150° growing degree days and you can predict when they come out so you don’t have to just wait for the damage.

Nice introduction to the trap

Every year the quality gets better and better. This year is really exceptional! I left RI in 2017 and watching these shorts every year makes me nostalgic.

Love it...I've been camping a long time and I always examine scat for diet items. Thx

You might be the right person to ask about, I make Quohog Jewelry and often buy shell pieces and whole shells on ETSYS, always looking for the ones with lot of purple and on the thicker side.Almost impossible to find these days, unless you have the right connections or u live there or know the right fishermen. These days i hear the chinese are buying up all the shells these days,and making Cabishons to sell themselves,they doing a good job also. It seems like they getting the cream of the crop of thicker shells!

Very informative. Thanks. I want to convert this diversion ditch into pools and connect then via a ditch ladder simulating what I find in the wild to create a refuge for the native wild brook trout above the agricultural runoff……. I was shocked to become aware…. Can someone please tell me the maximum height a brookie can jump between pools? I can over summer them through drought with deep trench swales from hillside springs in the fields

Don’t talk, show the actual ladder

This was fun. Thanks for the info

I found some very unusual poop in my yard it is not my dogs poop. Can you looking at a picture tell you what it might be in it

That's a pretty small bobcat, maybe a juvenile. I live in SoCal in the hills and had one jump a 5 foot fence and grab a chicken on two separate occasions. The second time I went outside and saw him attacking the chicken and scared him off. The bird was mortally wounded and the bobcat came back later and hauled the carcass away. I was able to see the size, the size of its fangs (like a leopard's) and noticed its tail was longer than in the pictures I'd seen. My impression was it probably weighed 60-70 lbs comparing it to my old Husky. I would not want to mess with that cat, I might win in a fight but I'd have plenty of scars to prove it.

I hose them off my Alder Glutinosa trees. They are resilient, sometimes they climb back up the tree trunks.

Excellent video! can't wait for the next one!

"Mosquito-iferous" is now my favorite word of the week!

what a fun little piece of technology

How fun! What a treat to get to share this little blast from the past on this channel

Amazing as always. This works on so many levels!

This group seems much more concerned with helping the forest industry profit than forest conservation.

5:06 “Volunteers”!!!!!???? I ain’t working for free! This is a very shitty job! Fukk that

How can i get involved?

How can i get involved

Should have been a 30 second video.

To me the Organic or Regenative Farming video should Not been allowed regardless of it being organic farming ..Farming has Nothing to do with Nature Aminal or Plant Wild LIFE... All Types of Farming does is Destroy the Habitat for Native Wild Life both Wild Plants and Animals..... It is beyond me why Organizers allowed this to be entered...!!!!!!!!!!! Especially when the title of the fesival IS Rhode Island NATURE Video Festival... There is nothing Nature about Farming., especially when farming destroys natural Nature Habitats...!!!

So much to learn, so many ways to connect with nature through these moments.

I enjoy this presentation of RINHS videos every year . Thank you for sharing.

Incredible, all of them! Elise, the Bobcat hunting! Wow!

Very nice exhibit! Thank you for sharing.

Interesting,i make some quahog jewelery and many years ago my sister in law saved me some shell from some 'Stuffies" when i seen them i thought i struck gold,all purple colored it was amazing,but they were very thin and unsuitable for jewelery making,i did manage to make a few pair of large earrings. Did some searching and found some in the North west coast but not a lot of info.

Good people doing good work. Cheers!

This made me smile! Thanks for sharing. Do not waste your time - Promo SM!!!

Thanks so much for forwarding this to me! What a great team they are; it is truly a joy to watch them receive the awards. Charlotte Sornborger

Thanks for sharing this. Great to see the collaboration.

How does the collar get removed? It seems quite a traumatic process and the collar must feel incredibly invasive around ones' neck.

I made something similar to this on my own property but instead of spadefoots I did it for the eastern tiger salamanders here in Maryland. Right on the edge of a large field and a thick ephemeral forest in what used to be cattle farmland.

I love that hoodie with the coyote on it!!

Funny..and handsome too..

My family got quite a good chuckle out of the intro to this video 😂 Looks very ef-fish-ent.... :)

Well done. Thanks for the great content!

Well. I can appreciate some fun scenery, even if I'm not biologically inclined! I hope the blitz goes well.

Amazing!!! You guys found a vernal pool without any surrounding "bull brier"!!!, which can make it really interesting to access certain areas!!!👍👍👍😉

And I've been on a moth kick lately too... how timely! And I'm happy to see the renamed Spongy Moth--much better name.

Aquidneck Island, because it is a closed ecosystem the best solution would be to open public hunting land to mitigate the overpopulation of coyotes, they've been eating pets, roaming the roads and pestering our farmers, who are unfortunately too liberal to allow private land hunts. They only care after their precious pets have been attacked. The fact that there are hundreds of coyotes on the island in 10 packs is an issue. Because its an island, the idea that they will have larger litters with other packs is unlikely considering the terrain limitation.Ultimately the community s suffering because it has too many "bleeding hearts" for these coyotes.

Thank you for putting this together and sharing it. I learned some things I didn't know about Joyce even though I've known her since we were at the UM together.

Browsing vernal pools and viewed this "terrific presentation"!!! Amphibian activist here, with a (self built) nature preserve that is right in my backyard!! First things first!! Tons of applause for your efforts in preserving the Eastern Spadefoot!! An amphibian encountering an enormous amount of stress to their environment! Truly inspirational to view the efforts of wildlife professionals in pursuit of "nature conservation". I have a goldfish pond and a frog pond (built in shallow woods) on the property. Both attract an abundance of activity including the magical fairy shrimp. The frog pond however, is an annual haven for the rearing of the wood frog and spotted salamander! Rapid development and even climate change have been impinging on the domains of so many of these "stars of nature". I too, am proud to be working to help preserve their environment!!! Once again to You, a very Fun watch, and great display of support for our amphibian friends!!

Whale video...I wonder if the one who was flapping her fins was disturbed by the drone

Thanks for helping me share this work!

Stay warm out there! I do appreciate the little summer snippets in my snow bunker.

I wish that the bobcat didn’t die. This is very sad.
