MANY thanks for the kind words! I've been sharing similar trail camera compilations for several years under my "Big Bend Land Adventures" playlist so you may enjoy some of those as well! ruclips.net/p/PLHiS6SiWds9ttNBYr956GEI2MP9OwL9Vi
Definitely true with this one share, though I must admit to having separate trail camera captures of predation activities as well. Past videos I've shared definitely show both sides, and it's definitely true that even the most aggressive of predators enjoy moments of solitude and peace from time to time!
Location, location, location. I'd say that you found the perfect one for wildlife observation. Thanks for sharing. It was a real treat to watch this video. 👍
This is great. Thanks for sharing. The Great Horned owl turning his head all the way around is picture perfect! Armadillos knocking each other off... good video!
What a menagerie! Definitely a hot spot for both indigenous and migratory wildlife. Had to laugh at the racoon. Found the perfect butt scratcher/ scent "post". As well as the armadillos being impatient. (Is that called "log rage"?😄) A pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Cool video, bigbendmarine! Interesting to see your wood ducks paired up and displaying nesting behavior in Feb. In my neck of the woods (S. Oregon Cascades) the ponds in Feb still have several inches of ice :))
Merci pour ces images magnifiques des animaux des forêts. Bravo pour cette vidéo, la caméra est très bien placée et donne des images de grande qualité. Bonne continuation !
Looked like the Black Bear had a hurt/lame foot. And what was that "pouch" under it? A nursing mom? Whooops - I see you answered this down below. Glad to know you are aware and she is doing well.
Very cool video! I think there were only 2 critters that I saw that we don't have in Iowa, armadillos & striped water snakes. And one that we see occasionally, the black bears. Amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it! I just updated the description to include the general location -- North Florida, just outside Tallahassee, FL, and less than 20 miles from the state capital steps.
Robin Vann, a while back I aimed a game camera at a limb about 15 feet off the ground, as I'd seen several bird species using it as a perch. LOTS more different type of birds ended up using the limb than I expected! As soon as I can find some time I'm hoping to dedicate a video to the birds that visited the limb. All that shared, I did post one video with footage from the same limb with the primary goal of entertaining my daughter. 😂 ruclips.net/video/PjidD2qwsXs/видео.html
Oche Verde, Spec Op for this spot and for other camera spots the past couple of years, though in past have also used various Bushnell, Moultrie, and Stealthcam models. The Spec Ops have definitely been my favorite to date.
I set up a camera somewhere in a somewhat remote location in PA, and I stumbled upon some cool species as well, I most commonly saw chipmunks, but I occasionally saw some cool things too, such as White-tailed deers, and black bears.
That last bear had a bum/injured foot and a tumor in her belly??? what? Poor baby!! ♥ Awesome video tho - I love the way the owls are absolutely silent when they fly away and all other bird life you can hear the flutter for quite a ways.
RockyMtnHighChick, In spite of the long-ago injured foot and what I believe to likely be a hernia (the mass hanging down hasn't ever notably changed size), the bear sow has done remarkably well for quite a while. I've captured her on game cameras for at least 6 years and over that time she's raised several cubs. 👍
Thank you for the kind words! Not sure if / when I'll be able to share an updated count, but I've already had a few additional species visit the site since this video share... one set of visitors in particular looked quite a great deal like the one in your RUclips profile pic. 👍 Honestly shocked it took our local feral hogs as long as it did to find the spot, as we stay nearly overrun with them. As I'm guessing you probably already know, those things reproduce faster than Star Trek tribbles!
In the northern part of Florida, about 20 miles outside of the capital city of Tallahassee. This shared, some of the temperature readings reported by the camera are off - we rarely dip much below 25 degrees fahrenheit.
I am assuming there were many other "crossings" besides the ones you selected. Some species were seen in the fall of 2020 but I didn't notice them this fall. Were there species that have not returned? BTW, wonderful video, perfect placement of camera. Hopefully you will update again.
This video was actually an update to an earlier video I shared last November, but I do somewhat regularly post compilation trail camera videos from several different camera locations as well as videos captured by hand-held cameras under the "Big Bend Land Adventures" portion of my channel. 👍 ruclips.net/p/PLHiS6SiWds9ttNBYr956GEI2MP9OwL9Vi
I should add that the 10 minute video was put together from MANY hours of captured video, with the animal count only briefly showing samples of each animal. The camera captured HOURS of raccoons hunting for crayfish in the waters of the pool, along with MANY visits from barred owls over the entire time frame. While there have been many trees blown down by past storms in the woods, this log is the only one to date I found crossing a small vernal pool. That shared there is a pond about 100 yards away where many additional animals live and I've been lucky enough to capture some from time to time, such as this one... ruclips.net/video/GHkMAlPusVY/видео.html
Where I live in Florida on some nights I can hear the familiar “Who cooks for you, Who cooks for you all” call of the Barred Owls that might be in one of the many trees around my property.
With the armadillos there I'm going to guess you're in the Texas area that is a Super Active area there you've got a shot of a big variety of species wow really nice video
The spot is in the south, but North Florida versus Texas, and should add that the camera temperature readings are not all accurate. We do get a few days with frost but I can't remember us reaching any single temperature days. 👍
Pam Galloway, it's definitely something NOT normal for the other bears in the area / unique to this sow. That shared, she's had the bulge as well as the one lame foot for years, managing to successfully raise several sets of cubs during the time frame I've been able to capture her on camera. My suspicion is the bulge is simply an abdominal hernia since it hasn't grown in size over the years and to date hasn't appeared to quickly lead to any other more serious health issues.
I love these kinda trail cam videos. My only gripe is the cut to black screen every new animal. Maybe just adding a number to the top corner would be visually better.
That looked like the Ivory billed woodpecker Wouldn't that be something if you came across what is thought to be extinct. The Pilate is similar though.
Wish it were an ivory billed, but it's a pileated. We have quite a few of the pileated around and I hear their distinct calls often. Easiest way to identify it as a pileated is the black wings and darker bill, as the ivory billed had a significant amount of white markings on their wings and nearly white bills. That shared, a river only about 5 miles from my home was one of the last places in the United States that was home to ivory bills. 👍
@@bigbendmarine What a shame. The game wardens would have been beating down your door looking for your bridge if it were an Ivory Bill. Kind of coincidenteal that you are that close to their last known home.
Nightlightabcd, I don't believe it to be a tumor but instead an abdominal hernia as the bear sow in question has had it for years without it showing any additional growth. In addition to the hernia, she has one lame front foot that is generally folded inward but as with the hernia she has managed to survive both issues for at least seven years that I've captured her on different game cameras. Not only has she survived, but she has even raised several cubs during this time and I am almost certain that the state wildlife services would advise letting her be since she has managed both issues for many years now without human intervention.
Northern portion of Florida, just outside Tallahassee. The few temperature readings well below freezing are inaccurate, though it was close to freezing on those days (we do typically experience several hard frosts each winter season, and on rare occasions have temps dip into the 20s).
I'd guessed a somewhat warmer clime than many given the stream never froze, but the temp did get down to zero once which has to be pretty cold for any part of Florida. Bur north Florida has weird weather ... sometimes its like the rest of Florida and other times more like Georgia.
Jack Ogburn, promise in North Florida! But to the point of your comment, the temperature readings reported by the camera were quite off prompting me to add the following to the description of the video shortly after I published it, "For sharp-eyed viewers, I should add the camera temperatures in the videos are NOT consistently accurate. Several of the clips captured during the winter months show readings between 0 and 22 degrees Fahrenheit but the actual temps on the days the clips were recorded were right at freezing / in the low 30s. That shared, rest assured the site IS in North Florida! 👍"
In North Florida less than 20 miles from Tallahassee. That shared, some of the temperature readings from the camera are definitely not accurate / at least 20 to 30 degrees off.
Almost looks like the Ivory Billed Woodpecker which is believed to be extinct. Wouldn't that be cool. They would tear those woods apart looking for it if that was the truth.
I might should add that the camera temperatures in the videos are NOT consistently accurate. Several of the clips captured during the winter months show readings between 0 and 22 degrees Fahrenheit but the actual temps on the days the clips were recorded were right at freezing / in the low 30s. That shared, please rest assured the site is indeed in North Florida!
Interestingly, one of the editing programs I use does include a db style graph bar to show volumes when editing videos, so I bet it would be possible. Sure have some clips I'd love using such tools with, especially birds making calls... have one clip I have yet to include in any published video of a tiny Carolina Wren emitting incredibly loud calls!
Already addressed both in the description of the video, and in replies to other similar comments... 100% North Florida, just outside Tallahassee, but with camera reporting inaccurate temperature readings (actual temps were in low 30s when the camera reported the sub-freezing temperatures).
not sure why I laughed so hard at the clumsy armadillos falling in the water
they fell 2 times lol
Same
Cuz it was hilarious
I laughed, too.
Armadillos are probably the least intelligent and least coordinated animals I've personally experienced.
All the animals crossing the log were fascinating to watch! I'm glad I stuck with it to see all those beautiful animals!!
It is truly amazing that this one area you have filmed in is such an important diverse area… beautiful
This is so cool. I really can't get enough as it is well done, peaceful and very interesting. Thank you for sharing this.

Then this additional share is definitely in order 😂... ruclips.net/video/R7wFpbHD63Y/видео.html
Probably marking with scent glands
😂

Great video!
Awesome set up and images.
That raccoon butt itch is reminding me to always lay a towel down before i sit somewhere in nature lol
😂
I think it was marking territory with scent glands
Saw my favorites, the owls, hawks and woodpecker.🙂
So adorable!! I love nature and you have set up at a perfect spot!! I hope you will share more of your videos!! Thank you for sharing!😊
Amazing!
And all the woodland sounds r so beautiful, too.
This was a treat! Beautiful video!
Nice to peek in on the natural worlds Denisons now and then.Hah! liked the hawk.
Merci pour ces images magnifiques des animaux des forêts. Bravo pour cette vidéo, la caméra est très bien placée et donne des images de grande qualité. Bonne continuation !
Such amazing footage . My favorites ,too. Turkeys, owls and the pileated
It is so crazy how something as unimportant as a fallen tree affects the environment
very good place and lots of different animals 👌
Im in awe.... Beautifull💚💛
sick footage man!!!
Awesome video! Thanks for posting :-) ....love the armadillos!
Very interesting, 20 different species on one log, well done , thanks.
Looked like the Black Bear had a hurt/lame foot. And what was that "pouch" under it? A nursing mom? Whooops - I see you answered this down below. Glad to know you are aware and she is doing well.
Wonderful video, thanks!
Just lovely!
Very good presentation, I live in Live Oak. I contract for SRWMD so I see these critters every week. Great to see these scenes put together like this.
Love watching these videos. Looks like the last bear had an old leg injury. Probably from a steel trap.
All cool but 4:23 owls especially cool IMHO.
Thanks for sharing 👍
I know I'm not the only one who was really hoping to see a deer walk across that bridge LOL this was a very fun video
THE ARMADILLOS AHAHHAHA. Loved this video! who knew there were so many large species in northern Florida.
Very cool video! I think there were only 2 critters that I saw that we don't have in Iowa, armadillos & striped water snakes. And one that we see occasionally, the black bears. Amazing!
I want to do this down in the Everglades in the Fakahatchie strand. Awesome video
XxSoulFlyxX, if you haven't checked out Tim Harrell' channel it's wonderful and focused more on South Florida. Bet you'd enjoy it!
Other animals: *[use the log for traversing or eating]*
Great Horned Owl: Now its time to get funky.
Great horned owl definitely had some cool dance moves! 😂
What an awesome video, and so long! If I didn't know any better, I'd think this was in Washington state. Thank you!

So considerate ,to name the animals fox bobcat wood pecker thanks 😊
The woodpecker hate the bridge, it's tryna destroy it, lol
A lot of wildlife in this area.
The one big black bear, at about 7:56...maybe I'm being naive but that odd shaped bulge on the bear's undercarriage, is that normal?

At 7:57, the poor black bear has a bad stomach tumor. Now that we know it, should it be captured and remove the tumor by surgery or let it be?
