G’day Everyone!
Here it is my annual Christmas/Holidays/ Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/ Atheist (whatever or whomever you give thanks to ) “Best Wishes Video.”
Must say that I have found Mother Earth has given me all the religious experiences I hold close to my heart. All you have to do is look around to see the absolute joy of life and living. To be sure life is not easy for any of us, man or beast. However please spare a moment these holidays to think of the wildlife and how much harder we make it in their already tough and raw world.
This mother Long Tailed Weasel ( whom I called Lucy) was raising 8 babies in the Point Reyes National Seashore. I did my best to keep her a secret but I could not hide anything from a badger that moved into the area. Lucy decided to pack up and leave. I was lucky enough to document this and would say that she is one of the best mothers in the world (excluding my own who is the best in my book😀)! Anyways Happy Holidays and thank you for your support and print purchases during 2018. Let’s have an awesome 2019 and embrace life!
Cheers

I’ve spent a bit of time this year in the local wetlands of San Francisco Bay north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The watershed of Mount Tamalpais flows into the bucket of the bay and past one of the worlds most notorious prisons. Wildlife here intermixes with urban housing, highways, waterways,bridges and people. River Otters are masters of negotiating this complex system that is rife with dangers. After seeing one get hit by a car and take its last breath one rainy winters night I’ve watched out and spotted them at every chance. The four youngsters in this video are the current ruffians running the creeks. If you enjoy the video please subscribe to my channel.
Bobcats when hunting are not always successful. In fact it can take a cat much time intensely watching for prey to make a move. I invite you to watch what I live to see. Here the bobcat is hunting gophers. I like gophers but I’m cheering for the cat 100%. This is a hunt that lasted about an hour compressed to 2 mins. It is peaceful and you feel for the hungry animal looking for his meal. The next video I will post takes you on a hunt and successful kill. Stay Tuned!
