The bird was a green heron. I get them on my river all the time. It was great to see the otters! I haven't seen any here in several years. The diversity here has changed a lot over the 35 yrs I've lived here.
The music.. as the doe follows the mother..perfect..so interesting. Great narration.. voice is perfect and you have a funny scene of humor.. Best trail camera channel on the web. Thanks for your efforts ..we all enjoy them.. also the 2 times that huge fish jumped out of the river was amazing
You are a beautiful spirited animal lover and a fun narrator. I really enjoyed watching your video ... edited well, the music perfect for my tastes, not too loud and not too much. It was easy to imagine how organic and peaceful that river might have been like long before humans overwhelmed areas like they have today. Thank you for making this video. Amazing! 🤎🌾😋
Blue herons actually have a varied diet depending on where they live. I thought they would only eat fish as well but they commonly sit out in fields after they are mowed and hunt for bugs and small mammals. On my drive to work each morning I go by farm fields and there was almost always a heron sitting out there.
Awesome otters. Such a neat critter. I know Beaver will often “range” along a stretch of river. During the winter I think they maintain lodges and are mainly existing under the ice in the deeper water they created at that location. Eating their cached branches/food. But during other times of the year they will move through an area and might not be back for a few days. Maybe searching for a mate or scouting new areas to dam/food/safety. But if you wait long enough you’re apt to catch them going in the opposite direction.
Sorry if someone already said it, they appear to be blandings turtles. You can tell by the domed shell. I'm not sure where you're located to give an exact answer but I work with herps in wildlife rehab.
Many years ago, I was at a state park in Indiana that had a pond. The pond was home to a flock of geese, and you's think they'd be quiet once it was dark, but NO. They squawked and fought pretty much through the night. The only thing worse is camping next to a waterfall. Did you know they don't shut the waterfall off at night?😁I found it interesting how the turtles crawled on shore and instantly faced the water. Nice escape plan. Good captures, and I liked the way you narrated.
I have a suggestion for holding your bait on the beach; I used to have a pleasure boat. In the summer months we would motor out to big sand islands in the Columbia river. We would drop anchor off shore, the anchor was attached to a huge elastic strap some 20 feet long and could stretch to 40 feet. This allowed us to pull the boat onshore, unload our picnic basket, cooler, folding chairs, towels etc. and then I would tie a 30 foot rope to the boat and the other end of the rope I tied to a sand auger that screwed into the beach. The elastic band then pulled the boat out into deep water and prevented it from grinding on the beach with every wave. This auger you could screw into the muddy bank, hook your bait too and walk away. The raccoons won’t be able to drag it away. Also a fish “stringer” would allow you to clip multiple fish carcasses together. The video is great and your voice over narration is enjoyable. Thanks for posting and best of luck to you on your next adventure. Pete
The turtles you asked about (not the softshells) seem to be either Mud Turtles or Musk Turtles. It's really hard to tell from the little I'm able to see. I could be wrong, but that's a good place to start.
I’m not a biologist or an expert… but I have been told and it is my understanding that Geese pair for life. When they choose mates they stick together. It’s a rather morbid thing to say but when goose hunting and you down one of two… even if the other flies off… you can expect the other half to fly back around in short order. The fighting might be immature (or widowed) birds vying for a mate.
@@guaporeturns9472 yeah it’s a great thing when you’re trying to fill your daily bag limit. If you miss on the first go… you get a redo. Lol. They will try to pair up with another if unaccompanied. That’s what the “fighting” was over… haha
@@jastrapper190 One time I had a pair fly over my duck blind , shot one and it dropped , the other flew on alone to the end of the lake and then turned back and flew low over its dead mate honking mournfully and looking down at it. Was kinda sad.
@@jonathanhall1825 That’s funny , every ornithologist and state game biologist says otherwise , what is your degree? What field do you specialize in? I know for a fact the few pairs that I watched on my property that stayed year round remained paired up through several seasons
The goose was "preening" its feathers, basically spreading new body oil that waterproofs its feathers. Looked like mud turtles. Momma deer was chewing on bark likely sniffing out minerals in it she needs. Canada geese are territorial to an extent, fighting not just over mates but good food-source areas. Carp jump for flying bugs as well as escaping predators. At night, that looked like a rail walking across the mud flat.
They would cut down all the trees, demand the animals be relocated, and build condominiums that only the elite can afford. All while claiming to be nature enthusiasts.
The narrating, the music composition, the shots… chefs kiss!! Your content is amazing!!
I didn't expect to watch this whole video but it was so entertaining! Great work!!

That bird at 13:42 is a juvenile Yellow-crowned Night Heron.

Love seeing the nursing fawn and the playful raccoon!! Wonderful!!
The raccoon playing with the sticks was adorable.
An endearing watch all the way to the end! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Great video! So precious to see the moms & fawns. So sweet. Thanks for your work.
Awww seeing those otters was priceless! 😊 loving all your videos!
Excellent trail cam footage. Really enjoyed it. Thank you
Your commentary makes this entertaining.
Cheers
The fawns were the cutest. ❤️
That made me feel so relaxed and happy ❤
I love this! The otters don’t like being watched.😂😂😂

In case nobody has answered yet, the hard shelled turtles were map turtles, likely Northern map turtles (Graptemys geographica). Cool footage!
Outstanding Film Score.
Aw the fawns 🥹🤍
Love all the animals , all the babies. I love you also, great job , you are knowledgeable and kind and great voice.hugs❤
This is pretty neat!
13:45 I believe this may have been a juvenile yellow-crowned night heron
You are correct. The mottling is definitely a night heron. The slender profile rules out black-crowned.
Excellent videos. I love them. Keep it up.
The fawn was very, very young. Only a day or two old. Beautiful!!!
Love the raccoon playing with the sticks, so cool! ❤
I love those raccoons. They are my favorite! So much fun to see all these wildlife!
Genius idea 🔥
Omg the deer are so pretty and the baby is so cute ❤🎉😊
I just love your trail cam videos. I could watch all day every day
That was so awesome, and cute to see all the animals.
Fun video. Enjoyed your authentic narration.
Amazing content! The music and commentary are spot on.
So happy for a new video!!! LOVED it, and loved the otters!
Love this, thank you Ace for sharing

I have a trail cam also, but have it set for photos only. Might try video. Thanks for showing!
Healthy animals, beautiful spot. Thank you for sharing.
Best video of the year goes to….
Loved seeing the baby deer.
You mystery bird at night is a juvenile night heron

That was awesome. You have a new subscriber
Watching that video I truly believe my blood pressure dropped and I was at piece for a time
Thank you
I love watching these videos. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent. Thank You.
@6:34 something big broke water ACROSS the river by the trees. Screen center left
Probably one of those big fish that jumped earlier!
13:57 Found it, if you haven't yet: It's an Urban Rookery, usually found in urban parks, cliffs and islands. Now I've learned something too.
Fantastic video, love getting otters on the trail cameras. That was a really cool bird towards the end. Enjoyed watching Thanks 👍
I love your videos and choice of music in them
Awwww...Bambi!!!
Sorry if someone already said it, they appear to be blandings turtles. You can tell by the domed shell. I'm not sure where you're located to give an exact answer but I work with herps in wildlife rehab.
This was wonderful!!
Thank you!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
love the video and your commentary. Sounds like watching a sports event xD
Loooove your videos. More please!
I really enjoy your videos and narration. Thanks for the awesome footage and entertainment.

Bird at 13:41 looks like a Night Heron.
Prayers that you and your family are safe during these awful storms.

i love your videos,thank you very much for all your content,the Otters at the end were the best

Stay safe in this weather Ace, God Bless.
First time seeing your vids, love it!
Thanks really enjoyed your video ✌️
Great Narration
The small group of turtles on the bank below the soft shells, looks like Sliders.
More trail cams, please .
This was so awesome!!
Awesome Ace! I love these trail cam videos!
Love your exploits especially the otters this time, they are so playful. Thanks for the tours of nature. 🇨🇦🌹🐿🦔🫧🕊💗🕊🫧
Cool video thanks for sharing ❤
The Otter Family! 😍
Awesome
Great video! Thank you!
the bird is a juvenile Green Heron.
Juvenile Yellow-crowned night heron
Juvenile Black capped Night Heron is the mystery bird
Beautiful!👍💕
Really enjoying your work. 😊
The herons, geese and turtles all kicking it 😂

I actually had that happen.. made me reconsider hunting geese. I think they can /sometimes will find another mate , but not always
@@guaporeturns9472 yeah it’s a great thing when you’re trying to fill your daily bag limit. If you miss on the first go… you get a redo. Lol. They will try to pair up with another if unaccompanied. That’s what the “fighting” was over… haha

Geese don't mate for life they mate for that season now swans they are totally mates for life
@@jonathanhall1825 That’s funny , every ornithologist and state game biologist says otherwise , what is your degree? What field do you specialize in? I know for a fact the few pairs that I watched on my property that stayed year round remained paired up through several seasons
Awesome video
Raccoons come out during the day if nursing or even males will when they are really hungry and need food. Doesnt mean they have rabies.
Loved the video
Awesome! So enjoyable. Thanks so much for your work. Subscribed.
Canada Geese mate for life.
geese mate for life. She is not "changing her mind", she is joining her mate in chasing off the intruder from the family nesting site.
About flippin' time!
Love it 😍
Very very cool.

Great job 👍
The bird is actually a juvenile yellow-crowned night heron
I agree.
Love reading all the comments almost as much as your amazing and entertaining video. Thank you for some great narration also.
Next video: what happens to a pile of billionaires left in the woods?
They rot within 48 hrs.
@ I like your optimism!
They would find something to sell.
They would cut down all the trees, demand the animals be relocated, and build condominiums that only the elite can afford. All while claiming to be nature enthusiasts.
It's been done before. I think it's called Bohemian Grove.
The otters got into the camera and deleted the footage
Dang it otters 😤
Love the ducks!
the heron is eating snails.
Also the birds initially looks like a bittern. They are in the heron family. They can extend their neck rather long but they don't always.
Carp jump to get air in their swim bladder. That balloonlike thing in their gut. Ive cleaned many carp. Some bladders get very full of air.
I think there were 9 otters in that group. A romp of otters!
Love this so much. ❤️ A wonderful break from political news. Makes me homesick for Ohio.
