My latest video is called Bald Eagles Filmed in Cinematic 4K. I recently visited the Audubon Center For Birds of Prey in Maitland, FL. They rescue, rehabilitate and release birds of prey back into the wild. I mostly filmed the bald eagles but included a 1 eyed screech owl. Audubon Center For Birds of…
Gopher Tortoise Rescue & Release I’m currently taking courses through the University of Florida to get my Advanced Florida Master Naturalist Certification and I was in my Environmental Interpretation class. We got a call from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission that they were going to bring a rescued gopher tortoise to us so…
My Experience My first hike at Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park along the La Chua trail placed me directly in front of a herd of Florida Cracker Horse. I’d been told that they are sometimes hard to spot along the trail because they are never in the same place for very long, but early that…
My Experience With Bobcat I have a favorite local spot where I film all sorts of wildlife including bobcat so I wanted to put together a bobcat facts article. I see them often during the month of December because it’s mating season for them. Often, I run into them while they are hunting so I…
My Experience With Alligators I spent part of my life living in Florida and I currently visit a number of times a year hiking there. Almost every time I’ve been out, I’ve run into an alligator. Only once have I had a gator crawl up to me and that was a very young one that…
My Experience With Black Bear In Shenandoah National Park I’m in Shenandoah National Park every week to hike the trails and film wildlife I run into. I see black bear quite often along Skyline Drive as well as the hiking trails I’m on. They are very hard to spot as they blend right into the…
My Experience With Raccoons I see raccoons almost every time I’m hiking in Florida. I once ran into a raccoon mom and her 4 babies along the trails rooting for food. The trail I was on was a long one and on both sides there was swamp water filled with alligators so I had no…
We all see mallard ducks whether its at a local park, pond, lake or river. I hike quite often along the Potomac River in Virginia and see them all the time. I realized I didn’t know enough about them and wanted to pass on some facts to my readers. The main photo was a male…
The bald eagle is my favorite bird to film so I visited the Audubon Center For Birds of Prey to learn more about bald eagle facts. I hike along a number of rivers to film wildlife so I’m always seeing them either up in trees or diving into the river hunting for fish. Their nests…
I’ve seen a number of photos of the hooded merganser online but until recently, hadn’t seen one in the wild. I was hiking around Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria, VA when I saw one out in the marsh. I spent about an hour watching a male and female clean themselves and filmed them both. These…
When I first started hiking around the Potomac River in Virginia is when I first started to notice the red winged blackbird. At first, I thought it was some type of Oriole because of how fast he flew by me and I’ll I saw was orange and black on it. I happened to be out…
