Hillsborough County Wildlife | 8th Annual Hiking Spree

For this year's Hillsborough County Hiking Spree, I decided to upload a compilation of the wildlife I found. After all "Finding Wildlife" is the main reason I hike. I also have full videos of these places already uploaded. I'll link to those previous videos: #TakeAHikeHC 23/24

The secret life of animals. Awesome 👍❤!

For one of the more populated counties, I'm glad we still can find so many animals.

Thanks for your time and effort, in making this video. You have the best wildlife shots, I've seen, in looking at hiking videos. Also, thank you for the detailed info, on the places that you hike. I am a newbie hiker and photographer. I wonder if you could tell me, what kind of lens you are using, or the f-stop and focal length used, to make this video. Thanks Darrell

Hey, Darrell. Thanks for the kind words. I'm actually using a bridge/zoom camera. The Panasonic FZ300 is what I've found to be best for me and what I do. It's basically on auto(not scene selector auto) unless there is fog or I'm shooting through foliage. I'm using Vivid for photo style and currently liking it set down a third of a stop.

That was one weird looking fish

[@AlafiaHiker]

I'm thinking armored catfish/pleco.
