You never know what you’re going to get when you go check the cameras. It’s nice to get a glimpse of these animals just using whatever tools nature gave them to survive. Thanks for your comment.
Awesome video! Great sequence with the Hawk and Heron. I'm hoping to make videos as good as this someday. It's -15 with -40 wind chills right now in Illinois, I'm going to watch more of your videos today since the roads are drifted shut through most of our area, and I'll have to wait to pull my camera cards.
I haven’t left my house for a couple days because of the cold, the snow and wind! It was -20 when I got up this morning, but has now “heated up” to -7. Ha. Anyway, thanks for the nice comment.
A lot of times the bird or animal moves so fast you don't get a chance to get a good look at them or what they were doing, so I like to slow it down sometimes.
You've outdone yourself,, Larry! The entire video is beautifully done, location clarity of pictures. Your narration adds so much. Please do even more, identify bird calls. That sequence amongst heron, hawk and black bird is stellar. Reviewing your collected new footage must be like Christmas morning. Will anxiously await next video. ❤😚
Thank you for the kind words. As for the bird calls, I sometimes add some text to say what bird it was, but I probably shouldn’t assume most viewers know what bird made the call, like a crow, quail, wren, robin, blackbird, etc. I’ll try to remember to add that info in the future, if I can identify the bird and not be redundant. Between my three cameras I usually start with six or seven hours of video and try to whittle it down to around thirty minutes, which is probably too long for most TH-cam user attention spans. However, I am still fascinated with all the animals that are around us that for the most part go unseen and getting a glimpse of their daily activities, interactions and what they do to survive. Thanks again! -Larry
@@larrypeterson3375 Maybe you could do another longer video ? Do to health issues, I can't go to my beloved Colorado mountains anymore. Thank you so much for taking me into these amazing experiences. I'm probably asking for too much about bird calls. I'm a nut about them! Always remember the joy and awe you bring. One last ask, how common are blue herons to the Midwest? You really should submit that footage to other wildlife outlets. Are you on patreon? If so, could you send me the link? 🤗💕
I will put out another video hopefully before year end. The current problem I’m having is that it has been so dry that the spring that feeds the creek on my land is down to just a trickle. So, about the only water left is what is held back by the four small beaver dams that run along the creek and the water in front one of those has completely dried up. I’m not seeing as many animals lately. A good storm would fill things back up, but we haven’t had a decent rain storm since July. Regardless of that, I still have my cameras out and the animals will find a way to cope. There are blue herons all over Nebraska, but they are very skittish and usually fly before you can even close to them. Fortunately they’re not afraid of the camera. I find them fascinating and somewhat prehistoric looking, but they are so good at fishing and catching frogs. In fact, I noticed in my videos that they will pick up a weed stalk and I assume dangle it in the water to attract fish and then spear the fish that gets close to it. I noticed that one of the fish the heron had speared had a weed stalk hanging out of its mouth. Using a tool like that is pretty smart in my opinion. I’m just an amateur at TH-cam and don’t create enough videos to get into doing Patreon. I do love animals and nature, so that’s my reward in making these videos and sharing them on TH-cam. I appreciate your comments.
@@larrypeterson3375 Thanks for the correspondence. Amazing facts about herons. I agree that they have learned to go "fishing". We underestimate what animals are capable of achieving. Crows , as you undoubtedly know, have intelligence of a child. . I lived in Kansas some years ago. Never saw a heron, but would love to. Have you watched it the huge crane migration and anytime ? Oh, I got a giggle at the deers camera obsession 🤭. You could put the designation at bottom of your videos for donations. You deserve it. Been so great conversing. I pray you get rainn soon🙏☔
I found your site while looking on TH-cam. I enjoy our comments explaining what is happening. For example I enjoyed the four racoons brothers. I have 4 squirrels outside my window in TN. They are interesting to watch as they have different personalities. Thank You, Jim TN
I agree, different animal individuals have different personalities. Some raccoons seem crabby all the time and others just want to play and have fun. It keeps things interesting. Thanks for your comment.
Awesome video! Was excited to see another post. Thank you for sharing your beautiful bit of nature. I still find it a little surprising that there are beaver there. Makes me wonder if there might be some in Kansas. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Last year I counted six beavers around, but I think most of them moved downstream off of my property after their big dam broke last year and I’ve only seen a couple since then. However, instead of one big dam they have built several smaller ones, so we’ll see what happens. I googled Kansas beavers and it says you have them, but they didn’t say where. Thank you for watching and the nice comments.
These trail cameras use red LEDs that project infrared light that allows the camera to record pictures/videos at night that appear in black and white within the area the LEDs can light up. At sunrise and sunset the camera may switch to infrared mode even though there is some light from the sun. Those videos appear in a full screen of black and white until there is enough sunlight to shut off infrared mode and record in color. I hope this helps answer your question. Thanks for commenting.
Love love love!!! Great films!!! Nature gave you quite a kiss big time!

Agreed! Had to chuckle at the acrobatic raccoon and flinch at the hawk/heron moments!
Entertaining, educational, enjoyed.
Beautiful pics! There sure is a lot going on around the beaver pond. The raccoons sure do like that tree. 😊😊
Thanks for watching
Thank you! I always enjoy your videos.
Glad you like them!
great video ...cheers

Hey, thanks!
Magnifiques images de ces animaux sauvages dans leur milieu naturel. Bravo pour cette vidéo et merci pour le partage !
Le barrage de castor a été un bon endroit pour mon appareil photo. Merci pour votre commentaire.

Salut wow!😍
Did that turkey just flash you lol !!
Yes, I believe that disrespectful turkey did just that! 😄
25:25 that's actually daddy blackbird!
I didn’t know that. That’s what I get for making an assumption. 😄. Thanks!
@@larrypeterson3375 all good!
What, no "strange creature" lurking in the background...how boring...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just kidding, nice video
Sorry, no guys in Sasquatch suits or photoshopped aliens. Just everyday critters walking around. Thanks, I enjoyed your comment.
Heron vs. hawk vs. blackbird..is that a cooper's hawk?
No, it’s a Red-tailed hawk which is a bit larger than a Cooper’s hawk and is distinguished by it’s reddish-brown tail feathers.
Thanks for a calm answer. Both have those feathery pants on, don't they?@@larrypeterson3375
Does this camera actually show light at night ?
These trail cameras use red LEDs that project infrared light that allows the camera to record pictures/videos at night that appear in black and white within the area the LEDs can light up. At sunrise and sunset the camera may switch to infrared mode even though there is some light from the sun.
