Thanks MO, the hawk and woodpecker great. The sus racoon that was checking out camera cute. I could not figure out what the Hawk had a lizard or something? The armadillo got something yummy. Just great place to watch nature. ☮️
Great location. As a longtime fan, I knew all the reasons for choosing it. That's in praise of the teacher, not bragging by the student. 🙂 Btw, I think for this video it worked really well to promise to explain the choice at the end. I bet that inspired a lot of viewers to think about that as they watched. Fat racoons and skinny deer. We not only got to see many species, but I'm pretty sure some reappearances of individuals. Like the brown squirrel with the gray tail. Not a unique combination, but still... Thanks for the species list. Viewers can choose to read it before or after watching, both or neither. I'm not sure I would have correctly identified the Red-Shouldered Hawk without it. This may sound dumb to some, but there's something satisfying about seeing a squirrel climb up a skinny tree and at the same time his shadow climb up the shadow of a skinny tree. Thanks for the video and all the work you put into it.
@@Michael.Outside I hike and run mostly on trails, and when I see or hear wildlife, I think more now than I used to about why they're around the trail I'm on and not so much around other trails.
A great variety of animals again. I think you overlooked the field mouse at 1:20 or so. Tiny little thing. The audio is very good as well. Thanks, Michael. 👍🏽
@@Michael.OutsideThank you! I'm usually looking for them in dead trees that are still standing, so I'll look at the forest floor, too. I'd probably have better luck if I weren't so averse to camping.
Hi Michael, hope you're well. I find you're videos fascinating, or is it the wildlife I find fascinating? Both, I reckon. I wonder how long that tree has been down. I remember watching a David Attenborough prog on tv, 'Life on Earth', I think. He was in a tropical jungle somewhere and standing beside a similar, but bigger, tree. He was talking about the flora and fauna around him and said, 'There are more creatures living in this one tree than there are people in the world today'. Wow, what an astonishing fact. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
Hey, Michael Beautiful spot. Very busy. Fascinating to watch the deterioration of the log as it serves every level of the food chain. Kind of like that creek back in Arizona. Are you going to watch it through the seasons??
Great place for the camera. You certainly know how to read the bush and the animal trails. Watching the hawk closeup was a real treat, but what on earth was it eating that was blue? Loved the little mouse and the armadillo peeling away the bark.
Oh goodness! I did not need that squirell ninja jumpscare. Now I see why people think possoms and racoons are cute. Your's have funny gaits; they are little and cute and fuzzy. In Texas, our trash pandas can top 35 pounds! They can eat one pound of pet food kibble in minutes, and foul several water bowls in a matter of minutes. Our Possoms are at least 20 to 25 pounds, and they look like an old Hoover Barrel vacuum. Their mouth is like 6 inches long with all those sharp little teeth, and they just waddle from place to place. Both of them are Big, ungainly and ugly.
Armadillo and racoon ripping up bark for the tasties underneath... s-o-o-o cool! All your videos have lots of pigs - are your woods really overrun with them?
One very busy log. Thanks
👍🪵
great captures Michael
Another great video, thanks
👍
Thanks Michael

Thank you for the nice comment. It’s fun to get out there and look for spots like these.
@@Michael.Outside I hike and run mostly on trails, and when I see or hear wildlife, I think more now than I used to about why they're around the trail I'm on and not so much around other trails.
@alwaysuseless Food, water, and cover (shelter). Find those three and you can figure out where any animal will be.
A great variety of animals again. I think you overlooked the field mouse at 1:20 or so. Tiny little thing.
The audio is very good as well.
Thanks, Michael. 👍🏽
I did see that and forget to annotate it. Thanks!
Extraordinario
Gracias. Un saludo.
What a great video! The pileated woodpecker is my nemesis bird. In 30+ years of birding, I still haven't seen one. And it's not like they're rare.
They love dead logs like this. Good luck!

Hey, Michael

Yes I think I will. I want to get a bobcat here.
Thought I was going to see the squirrel get taken! I was ready to shut it down. lol.
Lol
Great place for the camera. You certainly know how to read the bush and the animal trails. Watching the hawk closeup was a real treat, but what on earth was it eating that was blue? Loved the little mouse and the armadillo peeling away the bark.
I think it was a small lizard.

I’d imagine pet food would help them bulk up quickly.
