A small, intermittent stream is still flowing through the fallen leaves. The bubbles were mesmerizing and a perfect subject to film on an overcast November day. Music by Kevin MacLeod.

I filmed this snail during the spring while I was waiting for song birds to appear at their nest. It was slowly moving along the forest floor allowing me the opportunity to get a variety of shots with a 100 mm macro lens. On playback it was incredibly slow moving. What would you expect from a snail? The action you see is at 2X normal speed. Filmed with a Canon 7D. Music by Kevin MacLeod.

This pair of chickadees was feverishly building their nest over the course of several mornings. They took turns excavating and at one point both tried to get in. I was not able to record the second phase of construction, home decorating, but am now anxiously awaiting the arrival of new chickadees.

This coyote had a mission: to cross the ice. Except it didn't have a plan. Twice it tried crossing on the high wind fallen tree, three times on the ice near me. Between attempts it would lay down as if to think about how best to cross. The entire experience lasted about 20 minutes when it finally found a safe crossing.
