Professional quality production, filming, audio, editing, all first rate. And obviously your knowledge of the ecosystems is top notch. I appreciate the huge effort you put into this.
We truly appreciate the comments! It took us 3 years to film and edit this series. It was a lot of hard work, but a joy to see and learn about our deserts. Thanks again for the encouraging words!
Beautifully filmed and narrated. We enjoy the sagebrush steppe in Owyhee County, Idaho. I have always loved just looking and spending time among the plants and animals of our high desert. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
The photography at Macro Level is stunning and the narration very easy to understand - I like your enthusiasm for plants many find boring until we learn their role in the bigger picture.
Thank you for your comments! I truly appreciate the encouragement and your sentiments capture what we would hope would happen... something people could easily understand and learn from. I didn't have much respect for plants until I did the filming with Mike, and it opened up a whole world to me and has changed my perspective towards many living things. I now have a love of plants and birds that I never used to. Mike would often say, "We don't protect what we don't understand." Thanks again for writing.
@@PigeonTheory Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words!This is an exciting time releasing these videos and seeing the positive responses. Thanks again for your comments!
What a great and informational series. I live on the edge of the Owyhee desert. I have some large arborvitaes, and a bird must have left a wild clematis seed there. Now I have one growing in my tree. Thank you for sharing!!
This was a beautiful production! I got to drive East for a few hrs someday and see the area for myself. I had never heard of talus before, but I have been around it many times and noticed the wildlife it supports.
I live by the Burnt river. If anyone visits the Burnt river, please pack your trash out and please be sure to abide by the posted fire advisory. Enjoy!
The reason I stopped to watch this is that My 3 uncles were all drafted into the army in 1944/45, and their records indicated that the place of entry was Malheur. They had been "interned" at Heart Mountain, and had been released to pick sugar beats in Oregon. I assume the farms they worked on were nearby at the time, from the looks of things, not so sure they are still active, although there might be irrigation? Their actual residence might by a place called Nyssa(?).

Thank you for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed it and was able to learn something from it.
Great to see a Oregon High Desert video focused on the natural history rather than how remote you can get with your off road 4x4. Subscribed..

This is an awesome video. You're really knowledgeable about local PNW ecology and it's an honor to share a hobby with someone like you sir.

It is the people from Portland that leave trash behing...likely.
12:02 I think this is in the genus Castilleja

I don't have much to offer in response, I'll see if Mike might know something.
Your relatives most likely worked near Ontario, Oregon in the Snake River Valley.
Fantastic Series! I’m a naturalist at heart, this series checks all the boxes!
@@blaineparker8733 So glad you like it and thank you for the comments!
Stinging nettle is also a very nutritious plant for humans.
I sympathize with your juniper outlook. The BLM, Forest Service & Refuges are removing thousands of acres of junipers. Sad.
It is sad to be cutting down these native trees.
