I heard a female voice in the background. Does Mary know you got a woman up there? :blowup:
 
that should really take some great shows when you out on the islands next month. Look forward to seeing them.

I have not figured out how to change the mod file the canon fs21 makes into something to upload. The software they send with it
is user friendly,, at least not to this user. I found a few programs that seem to indicate that they will change the file to something I can use, just no time to do it yet. Busy trying to suck up a forclosure home going to auction on Jan 30 that backs up to our property. They
trash it pretty good before they left and shut the power off, so it has been with out heat since just before Christmas. Hoping to buy it right and fix it up for one of my kids or resell. Prefer to keep it. got a lot of land here but 2 kids to leave the land to. Another home attached to the property would make it a lot easier. Share and share alike deal...... More snow on the way I guess tonight. Hopeing it goes over to rain and not ice and snow. Cold front coming in right afterwards so it wet snow or ice, it will stick around for awhile.

Hope you get some vids of the lava going off.

That was with the new camera but it takes far better than that. I was setting in the dining room and through a dirty doorwall. The auto focus zeros on the door instead of the birds and I also had zoomed.
 
The focus is off because of using auto focus through a door and I was also zoomed in. The camera also has a GPS built in and when I bring up the video or pictures on the PC it shows exactly where I took them and it is very accurate!

I am gonna have fun!
 
giant woodpeckers down here in this area. You are producing some great video strips...but then again, why should that surprise me as you have always been a natural when it came to photography. Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas) :)
 
Good stuff Royal!

I do enjoy your videos.

I remember a woodpecker in Texas called a "Yellow Hammer" locally.

When they would fly through the trees you could see a flash of yellow and when they started pecking the whole forest would echo with the sound!

When I was a kid in Austin my dad covered our chimney with a piece of Masonite so rain wouldn't get in the house. A redheaded woodpecker loved to sit on the chimney & drum on that Masonite. The chimney acted as a sounding chamber & you could hear that sucker drumming all over the neighborhood. He wasn't getting anything from it but noise, of course, but I guess that was what he was after. It sounded like a jackhammer in the house.
 
they will find a hollow limb or tree trunk and hammer it to attract females. Our next door neighbor has an oak tree with a long dead limb, no bark on it but it is hollow and there is a woodpecker up there all the time in the spring. I have heard of them hammering power transformers too.
 
I read just recently that in the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas they've heard the call of an ivory-billed woodpecker. They haven't spotted one yet, but they've heard the distinctive call. That has to mean there's a fair population of them there, but they've been thought extinct for years. Maybe it's like the red wolf here in Texas. For years we thought they were extinct in the state & then a sizeable population of them was discovered in the Big Thicket, within 50 miles or so of Houston. Both that Arkansas forest & Texas' Big Thicket are almost-impenetrable & largely, even today, unexplored. There are simply places in each so dense you either can't get into them or you can't get out of them once you do get in. Nobody knows to this day how many people have gotten lost in the Big Thicket & never found the way out. I suppose with a GPS, if you mark waypoints, you might be able to navigate in places like that, but prior to GPS if you got more than 50 feet off the trail in much of the Big Thicket, you were hopelessly lost.
