Переглядів 2588 місяців тому
Video footage of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers was obtained in the Pearl River swamp in 2006 and 2008. It has been suggested that the 2006 video shows a different Campephilus woodpecker that was filmed in the tropics. This assertion is debunked by launching a drone from the site and flying it up until the rocket towers at Stennis Space Center come into view. The same approach is used to document the...

An Accidental Photographer's Favorite Photos
Переглядів 17710 місяців тому
I never aspired to be a photographer, but I gradually started obtaining cameras as my career kept taking me to interesting places. I never owned a really good camera until recently, but one of the keys to obtaining a good photo is to be in the right place at the right time. Some of my favorite photos are presented here.

Loved the pictures and videos. Thanks for sharing ❤😊
Nice work, Mike!
Great job, Brother Collins!
Great stuff! I have been flying drones for the past five years and find birds do not like them much. I have had multiple species try to attack my drone. Keep up the good work!!
Looks like a beautiful little town from the sky..
I lived and worked in Greenville from 1990-2001, saw two of the apartments I lived in and the building where I worked for the Record Argus. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! I lived there 1958-1965.
I think they’re still out there personally. I want to go try to see one in Louisiana like everybody else following this search wants to.
Hi, Always keep an eye on your videos, ¿do you think that at some point it will be spotted again or do you think it will not be seen anymore?
I had encounters with pairs in Louisiana and Florida in 2006 and 2007, and I am confident that the very capable team in Arkansas had sightings. It seems highly unlikely that a bird, which had survived in barely detectable numbers for 100 years, would suddenly go extinct not long after being observed in three locations.
@@IBWOvids What do you think is necessary to achieve a good sighting? Good luck? More people trying to find it? Better teams? Is it that there has been an area a little further away from the last sighting?
Persistence, determination, focus, and, most of all, luck.
Is there still extensive monitoring and searching going on in Pearl river near the space center ?
I moved back to Virginia in 2013 after going five years without any further sightings. I still return for brief visits every year. I heard a double knock a few years ago. Tantalizing, but not a sure sign.
You've done great work in making the case to not declare the IBWP extinct and generate some leadership in protecting their habitat. But from all I've been witnessing for the last few decades, it doesn't matter what field one is talking about - science, conservation, medicine, history, paleontology, govt, the media, most of the "experts" are nothing but overpaid liars and cover up operatives with nefarious motives.
During the past 40+ years, I have witnessed gradual changes toward the situation that you are describing.
suppressing dissenting views... That is the very observation of modern science. The established academics rigorously police new discoveries and work hard to discredit or destroy evidence that contradicts their own opinions.
I had the exact opposite view 40+ years ago while surrounded by extraordinary academics at MIT, but things have changed over the years.
Great video. Can you make another video talking more about the motives of those who silenced your research and declared the bird extinct?
It boils down to the fact that, after becoming entrenched in the position that the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is extinct, critics have defended that position rather than seeking the truth.
Love your videos, keep it up.
Thanks, I will keep the information flowing when possible.
Nothing yet at the moment? No sounds or drums? I know it’s over there.
The purpose of this video is to show the habitat in an area where Ivory-billed Woodpeckers had been observed, but it was obtained more than two weeks after the last sighting.
Beautiful birds. I have a productive pair in my back area. I just wish I could endure the cold to watch then more often.
A relaxing and fascinating insight with some lovely photos. Learnt a lot about topics I had no idea I was interested in!
Beautiful!
Nice 👍
can I use this in a short section of a video?
Yes
Amazing
How many stills did you spot? :-)
That would have been over in the next county (Franklin) and back in an earlier day.
@IBWOvids My grandparents had a farm near Charity where I spent a lot of time as a kid. I remember hiking through those woods and finding the reminents of old stills. Broken glass, shotgun shells and brass from spent rounds. Looked like someone had some "excitement" around there long ago.
You’re in my neck of the “woods” now
It's a great neck of the woods for a vacation!
I have a dumb question. Is the navigable part of a bayou, such as the English Bayou, "man made"? By "man made" I mean were the trees, stumps, logs, and other typical things that typically occupy the water level areas of a bayou removed by humans to create a navagable path through the bayou..... or is the route you took in this video predominately naturally open (devoid of trees, stumps, etc)?
It's a natural bayou and navigable to various points, depending on boat size and water level. After Katrina, it was blocked for anything larger than a kayak or canoe at a point just below the location where I had a series of encounters in 2006. Further up the bayou, there was more and more obstruction. In 2007, I broke my arm during a fall when trying to drag a large branch out of the way.
@@IBWOvids Thank you for your reply. I've been a fan of the ivory bill since it's rediscovery in my a home state back in 2004. My grandfather called them the "Lord God Bird". I am unsure if he ever saw one in his life. I "stumbled" onto your channel a week or so ago via a recommendation from UA-cam. I can't beleive how enjoyable your overhead drone videos (with sound!) are of the Pearl River basin. To me the scenery as well as the wild life sounds are as soothing as they are intresting. 👍 I am hoping one day soon your drone with catch an Ivory Bill in fligt at or just above the tree tops. Thank you for sharing these as well as your kayak search adventures with us as you search for this elusive bird. 👍 On a different note, knowing the mosquitoes in the bayous are very bad, what repellant (specifically) do you use to keep them at bay?
I rarely use repellant. I have taken DEET on trips to the Amazon (where malaria may be present) and Canada (where flies can be awful in the summer), but I rarely use it. I don't use it in the Pearl River swamp.
They are huge when you see one in person. A lot bigger than they seem on camera or video. And their call is like some sort of jungle fowl. Whole different experience seeing them in person.
I agrree.I had a similar experience as a close encounter with a red tailed hawk.Huge in person up close especially with their wings extended.Same thing with a red headed pecker.
Beautiful 💖🌊🌈
Hello new subscriber here from WV. I am attempting to locate the anvil cliffs, I could have that name wrong, the pillars Mary Ingles climbed on the new river in the area of this video. Is there any way you can help me? Thank you for this beautiful video and the others you have here.
There is a statue of Mary Ingles down the road from the police station toward the river. It could be that the pillars are near that area, but I don't know the names of landmarks in the area.
Yikes. Where in the artic is this? It's thin rubble ice so on the periphery somewhere. No doubt it will become more and more common with waves propagating further towards the centre over time.
To the north of Alaska in the Arctic Ocean. Pancake ice is an early stage of ice that forms as winter sets in. Months later, this area was covered in solid ice.
Mmmm pancakes.
Cold and salty and probably not very tasty.
@@IBWOvids 😭
Beautifully haunting.✌️
What's causing the wave?
These are ocean surface waves like the ones you would see at the beach but with one difference: only long waves (unlike small ripples) can propagate through the pancake ice.
Yooo! This is great footage
Thank you for sharing my hometown
My hometown, too, but we moved away in 1965.
Wow so beautiful ❤
Such a beautiful area. I lived on Pymatuning Lake for 20 years until I enlisted in Army. My parents and sister still live on Pymatuning Lake. Can't wait to come home and visit this summer.
Our old house and barn, which appear in the video, are near Pymatuning.
Love it! Thanks!
Lived my entire life in greenville, and never seen some of views. .outstanding work
Same
Very interesting. I grew up and lived in this area for many years. This reminds me of how beautiful this area really is.
I lived in that area from 1958 until early in 1965. I fell through the ice at the reservoir when I was little. Lucky it was near enough to a dock that my older sister was able to pull me out.
Those seemingly effortless wing strokes are what I love to see!
That's awesome! I've got some wood to replace around here. I've got one about to tear my shed down! Lol He's getting carpenter bee larvae out.
Very nice to see! Always wanted to see the bayous in natural habitat, my relatives from LA and no one ever could take me to see it . Hope you find the woodpecker again someday! It’s there!
I heard a double knock there last year. So it might still be there. If you want to see that video of English Bayou at its best, I would recommend the 4K viewing option on a large monitor.
I've watched this several times. Any hints on where to look?
On a good size computer screen. If you're trying to watch it on a phone, that would not be good. The bird is in the right half of the screen and it crosses the bayou.
Such a cold but beautiful environment
can you upload the program somewhere?

How fast do you think Pileated woodpeckers fly? I seen one fly through the woods and seemed really fast. Very awesome to see this bird when it comes around
The published range of the flight speed of the Pileated Woodpecker is 7.5 to 11.6 m/s (Tobalske, The Auk, vol. 113, pp. 151--177, 1996).
This feels illegal
Great footage of the lodge and beautiful surrounding rainforest! Thanks for sharing! 🦜🐧
Thank you! Additional footage and audio recordings are available here: ua-cam.com/play/PLarETXSiUV1NXNgKvU3rQyiV7tMuuuESF.html

How many mm?
The top and bottom are both 3 mm. They keep me warm, and it's easy to hike in them.
I hope that one day I get to experience thus wonderfully and beautifully event
So great to see the regrowth.
