I put together some video clips of wildlife and landscape of the area where I live. I captured some rainy days, along with spotting some turkey and many other kinds of birds. During the video we can see the family of geese hanging around, and taking off from the pond. We also see turkey walking around, through they are quite far. Along with that there is also some birds skimming the surface of the water appearing to be fishing. So lots of wildlife captured for last month, and I put it all together in a video. Find the link at the bottom of the post.
It is really cool seeing the geese fly now, for the last month they were walking everywhere so its good to see the airborne now.
A heron is walking the banks, very hard to see. Center of the above picture right where the water lilies end and where the soil begins.
The family of geese go on adventures straying far from the pond. We can see them across the field.
I think they like this hill so they can practice gliding back down into the pond.
Its funny just seeing them wandering around so much. I guess they are teaching their kids all about the outdoors and showing them different plants to consume.
Well they changed their mind and are now walking the other way.
But they hear one lone geese still in the pond, squawking and getting the attention from the others on land.
Eventually the pack makes their way back into the pond.
But not for long as they gather and then take off all at once.
They build up speed, kicking their legs and flapping their wings. Eventually they make it off the surface of the water. Though the family of geese do not go far, and land on the hill near by. One day, they will leave the area completely and find new places to live in.
I come across the geese later on and they let me get very close.
They just peck at the ground and look for stuff to eat.
The adults keep an eye on me while the little ones keep eating. But at this point its hard to tell which are the little ones.
All staying together in a group, no geese walks more than a few feet away from another.
When the leave the area they tend to walk in a line, its quite cute seeing it.
A kingfisher is up on the power lines above the pond. I see it dive in the water sometimes looking for something to eat I guess.
It was hard to get a good shot of it, with my lens zoomed in all the way that is closest we can see it. Maybe one day I will invest in a big zoom lens but for now I am limited to the kit lens most people buy for these cameras.
A family of turkey are spotted far away, I hope they come closer so we can see them better.
They are much more sensitive than the geese, as the stay far away from us.
I have seen their babies walking around too, hopefully I can get that on video one day.
If you liked the screen shots in the post, you can find video of them in the link below. With so much to see around here I will do my best to capture some moments when I see more wild life and hope to share it with the Hive community.
