    Thank you for your informative and well organized presentation. I have been a rock hound interested in mineralogy since childhood, I’m in my 50’s now, and have rarely come across a more well made explanation of regional and specimen varieties. Your microscopic images were truly remarkable and gave me views of petrified wood and other plant type species that I have never seen before. That’s saying a lot as I have been interested in and had access to view some amazing and rare specimens. I was just introduced to your channel today and am so glad the algorithm gave me the opportunity to watch your channel and learn more about the wondrous marvels that nature has created and that we have the privilege to view. I look forward to seeing more of your content and thank you for putting the time and effort that this quality presentation requires!

    Excellent video on petrified wood the best I’ve seen, and I like the voice of the person, speaking knowledgeable , clear, and friendly. Yes, petrified wood is very hard. I have a piece I’ve been working on to polish and it’s much harder than the rainbow obsidian and other interesting stones I’ve collected. Thank you.

      I'm not sure that ID will be correct and changing it would be impossible after uploading the video. I added time stamps in the description for those birds that were tentatively ID'd. Thank you for your comment and attention to the videos! Cheers!

    Nice videos! Interesting to observe the different feeding behaviors . I wonder what camera and lens you use?

    • @BearSF
      @BearSF 3 місяці тому

      Hi there! I'm glad you like the videos. Most of them taken with Nikon Coolpix cameras, several generations of high zoom (60, 83x). The latest are P900 and P950. They last for 1-2 years providing amazing images but I have a feeling that eventually the quality degrades probably due to filters in front of the sensor and sensor itself likely gets damaged by multiple exposures to light. By the way, this is mostly my mom's footage and she always carries the camera with her. Cheers! P.S. The first episode was shot also with Sony HDR-CX405 camcorder with 60x zoom. It is still in good shape despite age but the colors are not as vivid as during its early years.

    I grew up next to this trail. Glad to see it's still in tact and being used! If you cross Hallmark Dr. the trail continues all the way up to St. James you can access the watershed trails which have their own great views of 280 and the lakes. When I was a kid there was no underpass for the railroad at Ralston and El Camino. There were two very old buildings.. one was an antique shop and the other was a hotel(?) that was moved close to Twin Pines Park in the 90s. Thanks for the video!

    You need to check some "REAL HISTORY OF ABALONE". I started commercial diving for Abalone in 1963. I did OK as I always tried to follow the F&G rules. I made a living but sure didn't get rich. The season was only 10 months lone. I quit commercial diving for Abalone in 1966. We new about the Sea Otters were moving in and the destruction they were doing.They were one of the biggest reasons most Aba divers started diving for Sea urchins. But the sea Otters ended a good share of them. When you don't know about the history of a business you should not try and convince people that you do. Get the Book "The California Abalone Industry . A Pictorial History " by AL "Scrap" Lundy. . Gman

    • @BearSF
      @BearSF 9 місяців тому

      Thank you for the comment and interesting info from first hands. One thing is not clear is that sea otters inhabited the waters for thousands of years, yet the abundance of abalone early last century was epic. It's only when people started harvest resources without control and put the mollusks into cans, the population dropped significantly. It's so typical of people to put blame on some other species. Same story was with bat rays and oysters. "the oyster growers were actually causing the destruction of their own oyster beds by trapping bat rays, which eat crabs."www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals/animals-a-to-z/bat-ray#:~:text=But%20recently%20researchers%20discovered%20that,bat%20rays%2C%20which%20eat%20crabs". What humans call "history" is just a collection of biased stories like yours. Did dipper, consider all facts and you will come to surprising conclusions. Cheers!
