NOTE: YT has an issue, site-wide, with comments. That's the only way to put it. It's all sorts of issues, including comments looking like they're posting, but when you refresh the page/wait 10 seconds they're gone. In other instances comments will look like they're posting if you're logged in, but if you pay attention you'll see that the comment count doesn't actually go up, and if you log out you won't see your comment. So it's not actually there, even though YT is tricking people into believing it's there. Comments that do go through will trigger an updated comment count for the channel owner in the back door section of their channel, but it doesn't change on the main comment page. So you'll see that one EVERYWHERE on YT.......Comment counts that show for example 150 comments, but when you scroll down you'll only see half that, and that includes the replies. Comments that show there are 10 replies, but when you click to expand the replies only 6 are showing up. *Where are the rest of the comments? Where are the missing replies?* YT notifications will tell people - sometimes - that they have a reply to a comment they made, but when you click to go to the reply on the video.....it's being hidden. :/ Meanwhile some comments will trigger notification alerts for the channel owner, but others don't. It seems to be a 50/50 thing, if you're lucky. There's no rhyme or reason to it, it's completely arbitrary. It just goes and goes, the list of issues that I and many others have experienced all around YT, and including on my very own channel. I supposedly haven't had a single comment on a single one of my almost 30 videos in many many months, even on the dash cam vid with over 150K views. That's not right. YT has been screwing with my channel basically. Just like I went for a period of 4-5 months without a single new subscriber, when again I have vids getting thousands of hits per month. I hate YT, but, there's also not a better platform out there in terms of vid quality, audience reachability and other assorted features. But the broken comments sections of so many people's channels, along with the censorship that YT takes it upon itself to impose on comments site-wide, regardless of the channel owner's settings, makes it akin to China. And it's no surprise, since YT CEO Susan Wojcicki had visisted China several years ago, and when she returned.....YT comments have never been the same since. China knows how to censor like nobody's business and how to keep 1 billion+ people in the dark, and YT took a little visit to China to learn how to do the same over here. So hopefully if anybody posts a comment going forward (7/2/23) it will go through.
Nice. If you went a step further and had the animal identified, location, and date (in case it was migratory), as text right on the video in each scene, I'd give you a great. Nice is not bad; it's like 4 stars, ha ha. I hope to do a compilation of my own soon.
+Arthur Windsor A) I don't know the names of all the animals featured in this vid (namely some of the birds) so that's not feasible. There's the risk of misidentifying something, then I'd have people pouncing on me for that. B) Putting the name, location AND date? In case something was migratory?? Seriously? You're missing the entire point of the video. The point is to enjoy the critters, being captured on video doin' their thing. I created this video to share with people (including readers of my website) the cool things I've been able to see and experience since moving back to south Florida, and to give people who live in vastly different parts of the country, or world, a chance to glimpse my little corner of the world. So your comment is a little presumptuous in terms of where you think I'm coming from and what's motivating me. It's not easy to find oneself in the right place, at the right time, to catch something on vid at a serendipitous moment. There are stories behind many of the clips in this compilation, the way in which I just so happened to come across the situation. Just appreciate that. Vids like this aren't necessarily easy to come by. It requires somebody with a spirit, who's interested in life and who keeps a camera with them at all times, always on the lookout for stuff to photograph and video. That's getting rarer and rarer as the years go by, and society continues to devolve, glued to their texting devises and becoming deadened zombies with little interest in the world. Just enjoy the spirit of the video. Don't be so busy intellectualizing, labeling and over complicating things that you're missing out on the beauty of it and the effort involved.
In December I got my Florida Black Bear. As soon as I get a Florida Panther and a couple more animals I'm missing, I'll put my compilation video of Florida animals together and do what I described. In your video I saw a bird I never saw before and just wondered if it was passing through or something I should be seeing, so I wondered if it was migratory. There is nothing wrong with admiring the beauty of nature and then researching what you encountered, it helps me when I go out in the wild by having a better overall understanding. I am curious that way. As I said your video was good. I enjoyed it. As I said, adding the text I described is an EXTRA step (for most people). I'm more scientific in my approach. If someone corrects me, which has happened, then I'm better for it.
+Arthur Windsor Well, if you mention what time in the vid you saw the bird you're trying to identify there's a possibility I might know what it is. I pretty much have all the large birds figured out thanks to my Audubon Guide to Florida, as well as my Florida's Living Beaches book. It's just some of the smaller ones that I don't know. I think the compromise to what you're asking is to post a list in the vid description of what each critter is, and what time in the vid it appears. But again, I don't know them all 100%, and trying to post the dates is a bit much.....

The bird at 13:09 into the video, what is that? Where did you see it, east or west coast of Florida? What month?
Is it a Yellow Crowned Night Heron?
