    Lucky you! I am from Germany and, I am pretty sure you can't imagine, but here is literally no chance to have such close encounters with animals in the wilderness as you just showed us with the Owl. The wild animals here are way more shy, without a hide it's nearly impossible to do wonderful pictures as you are doing. Amazing stuff, really great fun to watch. Thumbs up, Steve! Best greetings from Germany. Michael.

    Whoa! A Martin, cinnamon black bear with a cub and then great grey eating dinner and swooping close. Can’t get better than that. Cool hat!

    Unbelievable Joy to follow you and watch over your shoulder. I know the feeling, the world disappears and you are alone in that wonderful moment, you and them, whatever crosses your path or alarms the Squirrels. Great 'reportage'

    So I had the opportunity to spend a few days in the woods around Leadville, CO last week and I came upon a meadow that reminded me of you and the Great Gray habitats you explore. And there was a squirrel barking! I looked everywhere and waited a while. Nothing! Thanks for another great video!

    Oh my. That was such a fun video to watch. And what a blessing to get that close to the owl, and know it knows your there and is curious. I was lucky to be visiting my mom who had a pair of young hawks next to her house. They would screech at her and she’d sing to them. I was able to have eye contact with them for minutes at a time as they practiced flying and resting. There’s just nothing like that😊

    Steve, thank you again for another wonderful insight into your world. Brilliant images, useful fieldcraft notes, how lucky you are to have such varied wildlife on your doorstep. It's too many years since I visited Jackson Hole and then it was for skiing. Tom Manglesen's gallery kickstarted my love of nature photography and your videos have refreshed my interest in revisiting the Tetons. Thank you.
