Thar Be Tadpoles!

This is a time-lapse at 30x speed.  So it represents about a half hour at the edge of the pond. What's amazing, is that due to the lighting, logs, bed of leaves and other tricks of the eye, it is very hard to currently see any tadpoles in the pond.  I saw a few hanging near the edge, under a big log, so I stuck the GoPro in the pond. This is the video I got.  There are gazillions (I counted).

There are many other creatures in the video that are not frog or newt tadpoles - I don't know what they are.  Especially weird is the Scorpion-esque creature creepily floating around at the 20 second mark.  Also, near the end you can see two frogs floating around checking out the kids.

Bear Swimming Time Lapse

This is a time-lapse video of a bear having fun in the pond for about 13 minutes (you can see the time on the bottom).  The entire video represents about 20 mins of elapsed time.  Having a time-lapse camera aimed at the pond helps see some animals that the trail cameras miss.  Either because the animals are too far away to activate them or some other tech issue, sometimes the motion detection fails.  So I have a camera that takes a snapshot of the pond every 10 seconds all day just to catch the things the other cameras miss. 

Most Bear Fun Ever at 5x Speed!

This bear had the time of her life playing with the kiddie pool and the balls on the basketball court.  She stayed and played for about 20 mins.  This is one 4 min segment that I sped up to 5x speed so you can watch it in about 50 seconds. Luckily, the software kept the audio when I sped up the video, because the sound is hilarious, too.

Elk Battle Video

These pics were taken in the backyard last year.  Now I've assembled them into a time-lapse mini-movie.  Check out the time-stamps from the camera, this epic battle lasted over 22 minutes...

Take On Elk

Decided to get a little creative.  Lots of pics of elk grazing in the backyard the other day.  Smashed them together in a time-lapse on created my version of an A-HA video...

3 Day Bonanza

The last 3 days were chock full of pics and vids.



One camera (there are 8) took 512 pics over 3 days.  Below is a compressed video of those still pics...(you should go full-screen to see all the animals AND make sure your sound is on)
