Thanks so much for posting this video. I absolutely loved this session. Mr. Cornell did a great job of talking about the behavior and activities of the animals, birds, and the environment of the Beaver pond. As an amateur photographer and nature journaler, his entire presentation appealed to both of my hobbies. BTW, I just found your channel and have already watched several recordings. I'll be subscribing to your channel. Thanks, again.

Nice work! Happy to see you used my photos. :-)

so sorry but I really couldnt watch 90 mins of this. the first few seconds seemed to dry as it is. I promise I literally mean no disrespect. Perhaps it is me, but definately affecting many. information needs to come thick and fast! We are in the age where James Hansen has told us the REAL climate forcings have set our thermostat to +10. time is REAL short... The clickbait title dragged me here. my motive. understanding a new type of worm I never heard of... purpose: to quickly determine why it exists and what nature intends for it. I am sorry but people need to wake up fast... we are already past the time we need to be building multiple seed banks and gene arks. Please make an illustrated or animated PRIMER version of 20 mins or less. It honestly, took me less time than this video to sit down with AI and develop a pioneering new method of desalinating water with heat pumps. instant fresh water at an energy profit in a solid and transportable form and this methodology harnesses natures ways, because sea ice naturally excretes the mineral salts and co2. we can make ice with heat pumps and then capture the brine for the resource pot of minerals AND essentially just shake the brine like soda to release the co2 extremely cheaply. And I have so many other ways to capture carbon and make use of it. Help me save the worms. give it to me in a way my special brain can digest <3

Excellent presentation. I will hit the referenced website and check out some springs.

Very educational, I have grown up in the driftless region and love this series!

I remember the night sky being amazing in Westby when I was growing up. Sadly those days are gone.

Thank you

The people of the Americas is such a fluid subject in the last decade... Almost anything older than a year could arguably be worthless

Who is the professor at Madison that he refers to around the 5:30 mark? Who is doing work on light pollution levels at the UW??

I'm glad the lake never happened. We already have 15,000 lakes in the state, and only one large scale driftless recreation area preserving this land. I come to the reserve many times a year to spend my money. Now, bring back Campsite AA as a regular vehicle accessible site again.

I enjoyed this. One of these days I’ll have to pay the reserve a visit. I was born (in 1955) and raised in rural Richland County. I was a real outdoors kid, as most were back then, and had a fascination with birds. I had a big feather collection, wanted to be an ornithologist before I could pronounce the word, and took a keen interest in all birds. In 1965, when I was 10, seeing a hawk was an unusual event. Not rare, necessarily, but unusual. Today, they’re so common that seeing a hawk on a drive in the driftless is much like seeing a robin on a suburban lawn, which I attribute to the end of the indiscriminate killing of ‘bad’ wildlife in favor of the ‘good’ wildlife that was once so common. Who says the world never changes for the better? On the other hand the red-headed woodpeckers, meadowlarks, whippoorwills and others that were everywhere in 1965 (and I do mean everywhere) are gone.

Excellent presentation. Thank you all for sharing this with us. Being homebound and unable to join you in person, these presentations mean a lot to me.

Outstanding presentation!

A friend had some property in this area. He found, what appeared to be, a stone hand ax that MAY have been used during this pre-history area.

I LOVE the public libraries!! So much we can learn about this 🌎 world, the state of Wisc! ☺️

Thank you for this demonstration. I shot a buck this season with a lead core 100gr .243 in the shoulder. It ruined about 30lbs of meat after fragmenting through the chest cavity. I will NEVER use lead again!

Good words. Thank you for sharing

I am 67, born in 1955, and grew up in the Richland Center area. I remember well my parents discussing the dam project. They were both opposed. As a kid growing up with a keen interest in all-things outdoors I, too, was opposed -- in a kid way, of course. What a travesty it is to destroy free-flowing rivers and the valleys they carve to create impoundments so developers can get rich by impoverishing the world.

Wow this was such a valuable session! 👍🏻

Linguistics tell such an interesting story and, interestingly, it's not the story that academia cares to tell.
