    Lucky you! I am from Germany and, I am pretty sure you can't imagine, but here is literally no chance to have such close encounters with animals in the wilderness as you just showed us with the Owl. The wild animals here are way more shy, without a hide it's nearly impossible to do wonderful pictures as you are doing. Amazing stuff, really great fun to watch. Thumbs up, Steve! Best greetings from Germany. Michael.

    Unbelievable Joy to follow you and watch over your shoulder. I know the feeling, the world disappears and you are alone in that wonderful moment, you and them, whatever crosses your path or alarms the Squirrels. Great 'reportage'

    Dude, what a great day but what made this one more enjoyable was the addition of the Ice Cube lyrics! Next time I’m sitting on a swift fox den that’s going to be the theme song for the day

    So I had the opportunity to spend a few days in the woods around Leadville, CO last week and I came upon a meadow that reminded me of you and the Great Gray habitats you explore. And there was a squirrel barking! I looked everywhere and waited a while. Nothing! Thanks for another great video!

    They are amazing! I had one fly between me and my sister up in the Sax Zim Bog and he was so close I felt his wing tip on my cheek. I almost pee'd my pants, lol.

    With a few years of watching there is a sub theme when available. This time the squirrel and owl, has been Bison, Elk, Im sure a bear, etc. All could also use an on screen disclaimer. It happens.
    What good luck on this day! Thanks for sharing!!!

    @lisatalley296 Год назад +1

    Oh my. That was such a fun video to watch. And what a blessing to get that close to the owl, and know it knows your there and is curious. I was lucky to be visiting my mom who had a pair of young hawks next to her house. They would screech at her and she’d sing to them. I was able to have eye contact with them for minutes at a time as they practiced flying and resting. There’s just nothing like that😊

    Awesome time. The owl chewing up that vole was crazy. And the close ups!! Do you have to worry about tics at all in the Tetons? And do you have a preferred noise reduction program when shooting that high? Love the hat too.

    Hi Steve, only visited Greater Yellowstone twice (as based in the UK). Do the squirrels alarm call when close to people too? When we were at Schwabachers Landing in one of our trips, a squirrel was going mental and I put it down to us being in the location. However, I'm now wondering if we might have missed an interesting predator. Loving your videos......keep it up! Thanks.

    Steve, thank you again for another wonderful insight into your world. Brilliant images, useful fieldcraft notes, how lucky you are to have such varied wildlife on your doorstep. It's too many years since I visited Jackson Hole and then it was for skiing. Tom Manglesen's gallery kickstarted my love of nature photography and your videos have refreshed my interest in revisiting the Tetons. Thank you.
