Sometimes I post videos and I know people don’t watch them. Time is pressing, the phone just rang or you’re just not that interested. I understand. But no matter what the harrowing conditions of your schedule this morning you will NOT want to miss these. I pinky promise. The first is from our friend Jeremy Christiansen at the Grand Canyon Land Trust in Utah where they just committed to beaver relocation as a state mandate to assist with water storage and all the rest. You won’t want to miss this amazing look at what it means to take beaver from the flatlands up to the mountains. The music is perfect too.
Nice work Jeremy! Don’t you just love how that last little beaver who had just been through such a scary thing, locked in a cage, dragged driven and rattled for miles, and his first decision upon being free was to nibble what winnie the pooh would call “a little smackerel of something“?
Okay this next video should make you all want to travel to Scotland right away. It’s from our friend Paul Ramsay on his estate in Bamff. It isn’t as slickly edited as Jeremy’s but its some of the best wildlife you are likely to see in four minutes. I’m starting it at two minutes so you get the otters running across the path and the four beavers doing each other’s hair, but if you have more time go back and watch the whole thing. It’s worth it.
