Wilderness Bound
Приєднався 31 сер 2014
Welcome! I'm Kathy, and I'm all about the thrill of discovering wildlife in their natural surroundings. For me, it's about the pure, unscripted moments that nature offers. No baiting, no flushing, just the real deal. My adventures are fueled by a deep love for both flora and fauna. There's something magical about being in nature, exploring and witnessing the wonders it holds. I always have a camera with me. But let's be real - not everything in the wild waits around for a photo op. Animals are especially tricky; they're easily startled, so moving stealthily and respectfully is key. My goal is to observe without being noticed. If an animal moves on because of my presence, I consider that a miss. My philosophy is simple: leave them as you found them.While I might not capture every moment on camera, each experience is an adrenaline rush, raw and unfiltered - much like my photos/videos. I invite you to join me on these adventure. Let's explore the unedited beauty of nature together!
MUSK OX Head to Head Play, Dalton Highway ALASKA males collide, winter shed June 2024
Three Muskox interacting on Arctic Tundra outside Deadhorse Alaska. Head --butting and running. You can see their winter shed blowing off in the breeze!
Musk ox are “harem breeders,” where one male mates with the entire herd of females and defends his position as the only breeder. The males battle for this dominant position through powerful head-to-head collisions. The defending male faces a line of challengers. One by one these challengers line up opposite the defender, lower their heads, and run full speed at him. The musk ox has a special protective surface on their heads. Right between their long curved horns, males have a plate of reinforced keratin (the same material that covers their horns) called a “boss”.
Thanks for watching !

Bald Eagle swimming to shore with prey/ Bald Eagle Floundering /Crows waiting / Eagle grabs Gull
Переглядів 5 тис.Місяць тому
I did not see the grab but I did hear and see the commotion. It was the sound of birds yelling and scattering that made me turn and look. A very long way off I saw the Eagle swimming towards the shore. I ran to get closer hoping to capture in video. Notice the crows lined up waiting for the Eagle to come ashore. Hard work landing the gull. RIP Gull. Nature ! Eagles can carry 3 pounds on average...
Eared Grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) breeding adults , nest building behavior, teamwork, Montana
Переглядів 2522 місяці тому
Watched this pair for several minutes, in the rain. They began collecting algaes and plant materials and piling in one location. A bit of research revealed they build their nests like this. Their own little island. I will swing by again tomorrow and see if they continued to build after my departure. If yes, I will post a part II. Thanks for watching !

They are much smaller than Prairie Dogs. But, like Prairie Dogs they live in burrows, often in colonies. Eight to eleven inches in length , including tail. Round-tailed Ground Squirrels are diurnal ( active in the daytime). This female appears to be pregnant. Her gestation period is 28 days. An average of 5 pups are born in a litter.
Rare Bird Alert CATTLE TYRANT (Machetornis rixosa) Corpus Christi Texas March 2 2024
Переглядів 715 місяців тому
A long way from its native range of Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia. The cattle tyrant had never before been seen north of Panama, about 2,600 miles south of Corpus Christi, until now ! First confirmed sighting was in Nov 2023. Did a storm bring it here or perhaps a cargo ship stowaway? We will likely never know. Traveling full time, Corpus Christi was directly on my path south. I decided to go...

Golden Eagle and Bald Eagle Together on same perch ---Town of Kortright New York
Переглядів 16 тис.5 років тому
I spot this young Golden Eagle perched in a tree, imagine my surprise when in flies a mature Bald Eagle and lands. Clearly the young bird is submitting. In Upstate NY this is a migrating Golden and my first ever sighting of the species. So exciting!!!! copyrighted
Fat and gorgeous "peacock, " and priceless clip
it's a scavenger, the bird must have already died. It's a couple, the 2nd is probably his partner who comes to help him. Eagles live in pairs all their lives, they are faithful.
Yes they are opportunistic and eat carrion, but they certainly do hunt and kill fish and ducks as a main staple. Gull sitting on water too. And yes likely it's mate. They mate for life.
Usa 🇺🇸 and Mexico 🇲🇽 together 👍beautiful.
What has it caught? A gull?
Yes, a gull.
Because of the eagles wingspan and body type, the eagle cannot take off from the water surface. It is not swimming, it is floundering. No choice to do this - or drown.
right on and to the shore

Butterfly stroke!!
Crows are the hyenas of flight.
Unbelievable⁉️
This was an amazing thing to watch. I would have thought an eagle in the water is in dire straits.
I had no idea bald eagles could swim, Amazing fact! Your channel is beautiful. Subscribed.
Thank you !
Magnificent video! What a clever bald eagle. Beautiful, incredible images. Thank you!
You got the scientific name of the eared grebe completely wrong, its correct scientific name is actually Pliodytes nigricollis.
thank you , I certainly am no expert but upon researching again I only see Podiceps. All about birds.org Cornell. National Audubon and Sibley my references.
@wilderness_bound, actually, the Podiceps genus is polyphyletic, seven extant species and a recently extinct species are all relocated to five separate genera, Potamopica for one extant species being the Red-Necked Grebe (Potamopica grisegena), Oreodytes for one extant species being the Hooded Grebe (Oreodytes gallardoi), Pliodytes for three recognized species being the Horned Grebe (Pliodytes auritus), the Eared Grebe (Pliodytes nigricollis), and the †Colombian Grebe (Pliodytes andinus), Dyas for two extant species being the Silvery Grebe (Dyas occipitalis) and the Junin Grebe (Dyas taczanowskii), and Podicephorus for one extant species being the Great Grebe (Podicephorus major), leaving the Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) as the only extant member of the Podiceps genus.
Finally...the two kings meet
That’s a beautiful creature. Do you also get gators down in the Key’s or is the water too salty?
alligators prefer freshwater and brackish water habitats,,, while the canals and beaches are too salty. Alligators are usually only found on islands with permanent freshwater lakes, such as Big Pine Key
Big gators on Sanibel Island and crocs have been seen on the beaches there on rare occasions.
Looks like a juvenile bald eagle
Seems to me the one eagle is a immature bald eagle
Outstanding
Oh no! Someone, call the HOA! We have eagles interracially dating!! ☮️
It’s an immature bald eagle.
Not a Golden Eagle, immature Bald Eagle.
I humbly suggest you do some research. Thank you MasterFalconer. All the markings are there. And yes I see juvenile bald eagles and immature bald eagles routinely. : )
its 100% a Golden Eagle
@@ADGwildlife Thank you !
The Golden almost looks reverent towards the Bald.
yes, could be
Sorry Kathy. I see a recent one.
Miss Kathy. Have you stopped posting videos?
vwbnbaA
That's very rare to me seeing an Golden and Bald Eagle together ❤️
These super birds know how to make peace better than human. Long life for them in liberty.
These guys are actually enemies out there in the wild. I think the golden eagle is the only thing higher on the food chain to a bald eagle
Oh shut up. They weren't there to make peace you big dummy. Stop humanizing animals
"'What's up, Goldie?" "Just chilling, George. What's going on with you?"
This is a wonderful shot, there must be amble space and prey around for 2 different but closely related species to be found on the same roost. I’ve seen both compete in the wild and who wins the interaction depends on who is the bigger bird most of the time. Golden Eagles are slightly bigger on average but it’s very very close. Most I’ve seen are probably large females of similar size
awesome thanks!
Wow first time I can see them together
What up cuz. I see yall still like those high branches.
Kathy we met you today in Texas @ Estero Llano Grande State Park. Really like the van you are living in!!! Good luck in your travels and to the newly adopted dog, maybe,,,
thank you ! Great meeting you. fyi... I see your last name. My Mom is a Krug. Thanks for subscribing. Stay well.
Are you sure she wanted you plastering all her personal details on an unsolicited UA-cam comment like this?? 🤔
This is very odd to perch so close to each other.
tiger and lion
Ouch! That's some serious circle-of-life stuff right there.
Wow, what a serendipitous moment. ...like winning a wildlife shot lottery!
I love how the little owl puffed up to make itself appear formidable. I know people like that, haha. Nice shot! Those owls are hard to spot.
Today between new hope Arkansas and Nashville Arkansas I seen a bald eagle and a golden eagle together peacefully it was absolutely amazing and beautiful i’m pretty sure it was a sign from God 1/4/2023
🇺🇲🤝🇲🇽 :V
No surprise. They are cousins.
Awesome
Those are both bald eagles. The first one seen is immature.
I am sorry,,, do some more research . The bird is an immature Golden ,,, clear golden nape, small bill .... and white band on tail feathers,,, all golden markings,,,, maybe do some review of others comments,
10,000% golden, I watch them every week for hours on end
amazing!!!
Thank you!!
First one is definitely suit to get its white hair so it definitely is a juvenile so. It has a white tail
It's a juvenile golden eagle, they have white on the tail but not fully white, the smaller beak, golden neck feathers and more uniform brown plumage show its not a juvenile bald, also the legs are feathered all the way to the feet on the golden eagle.
Wow 😊
Golden eagle: hey your pretty big bro Bald eagle: you pretty big yourself
Wow, that's a surprisingly neutral encounter. I've been looking for and spotting goldens on Washington's Columbia Plateau this month. Saw a pair of them being harassed by crows today.
did you get any high res photos of this moment?? It's amazing how social Bald Eagles can be.....and the juvie Golden seemed curious more than anything else
sadly no great photos, distance too far for my camera,,, would have been great to have gotten video w/o all the shake,,, hand held windy day
