Its hard to tell from just a short video clip, but just in case, you should contact an arborist or some other expert to make sure it isnt oak wilt. Cause if it by chance is, you need to get rid if the tree before the fungal infection spreads. Most likely its just winter die back, however if it isnt, swift and decisive action will be important to saving the rest of your oaks.

[@rafadacosta1675]

Your comment needs to be higher up! Oak wilt is no joke and could potentially decimate your other oaks @bamabass

Loved the dramatic almost "jaws-like" music at 15 minutes along with the dramatic bass leaps. Great use of tech for many purposes, not only your own. That's a main reason I love watching your nature haven take shape. I'm a retired wildlife bio and I'm so appreciative of your successes.

[@davidredfern836]

The oak could be in shock due to transport and the planting process , if the root ball is significantly damaged it could cause some of the limbs to suddenly die. If that is the problem simply prune the dead branch back to the green above the selected knode. You can put a plant stimulator on the fresh cut but that usually isn't necessary. We love the work you've put into this project , very rewarding. Looking forward to the next vid. 👍

[@ryanhandy4793]

I was going to comment something similar as well , while transporting in the truck with the wind often damaging the treetops

[@patg2544]

Agreed also since it was the first winter planted it could have killed those branches.

[@rg20322]

Excellent end to the weekend with a BamaBass posting!!!

[@Kettletrigger]

FieldBot ideas: - Add a speaker/siren and use to keep foxes away from the henhouse (figuratively or literally). A motion sensor and remote camera would allow some control there. - Same features as above, but use for human security. Actuators to open/close remote gates, speak to trespassers, etc. - Remote gate cameras/actuators could control livestock movement from one area to another. - Use to actuate/monitor feral hog traps. - "Quick Deploy" version could be used by hunters. Place FieldBot some distance away and use noisemaking feature when game is between hunter and FieldBot, moving game towards hunter. - "Quick Deploy" version could have uses for law enforcement, surveillance, robotics, the sky's the limit really.

[@chickenhouse5779]

The Eagle sitting on the stick would make a beautiful picture.

[@taterdawg]

I would say a painting or sculpture of it might be an awesome addition to the lodge....

[@ryanhandy4793]

I agree I bet you you could get many beautiful pictures and put them up on to your merch

[@chieferoni]

Its called Oak Wilt. The tree is dying from the top down as it has blocked water flow

[@AlejandroGarcia-ze6cp]

Could be that some of the roots got damaged during transplantation. Oak wilt will discolored the leaves in a specific manner

[@davidmessersmith786]

I read an article that said not to trim an oak between February and July as it can lead to oak wilt.

[@lukesfishin7910]

Absolutely one of the greatest pond build series ever. Thank you for these awesome videos.

[@TheOldschoolchevy]

It could be girdling roots around the bottom of those trees. It usually starves the top of the tree first. But common on a ball root system.

[@pampermenetwork]

FieldBot, is a SMART idea. Love it. You guys are not messing around.

[@geishir2]

Fieldbot could easily be adapted to a number of indoor animal husbandry situations as well as outdoor. A solution to monitor say temperature, humidity, air flow/ventilation that would normally require a number of proprietary devices, would allow a customized central hub that could be deployed quickly and with sensors that are commonly available, could greatly improve commercial/residential outcomes. I look forward to seeing what can be done with this! Fantastic ideas!

[@tjhorne82]

The epic music during that popping frog, blowup portion is amazing! I need to know the song title to put it on one if my playlists!!

[@user-ns2yb2cq6j]

My favorite video from this channel so far

[@creativespaceslandscaping]

So funny talking about oak trees on a pond/fish channel, lol...but you should look into oak wilt or crown rot which both of those are usually seen in spring/early summer. Also you might want to see if it's possible that the trees might have been planted too deep. Everything looks amazing, congratulations on all these massive accomplishments! That field bot is pretty awesome!

[@camillewery5897]

Love the feeding in mini pond maybe a polarized lens would be awesome

[@grahmebiffen8335]

Great episode, thanks. I always enjoy the fishing segment and especially the tagging system indicating caught or never been caught before fish. I realize it would be more editing but updates on names, weight change, location and or number of times caught would be great. You have done it in the past and I always enjoyed it. Thanks again, your one of only a few series that I really look forward to. Cheers

[@johnmccanntruth]

The Fieldbots are very cool. I could see them becoming a big thing in many different fields. I’d say you’ll be seeing companies copy this idea real quick.

[@isaachoese6261]

Just a few comments on your work project: 1) I think it’s a fantastic idea 2) consider using LORA for data transmission. 3) For the pond, you could setup a SQL database that reads in data on the pond. With the stored data you could have a machine learning algorithm running on a jetson nano/ raspberry pi that can make prediction models. (Ex: if you haven’t had rain in a week and the daytime temp is 80 or higher, you may need to turn on the well even if it hasn’t reached the water level sensor yet). These are obviously far-fetched ideas, but you could make this a very cool pond management tool. You could even implement your fish finding sensors and map fish habits based on temperature, humidity, weather, etc.

[@darrylbuckett5380]

Glad to see you found a top Aussie company to work with, we've got lots of them. Cheers

[@jasongriffin8849]

Thanks for the Toad Dangler clips! Pond looks amazing.

[@snappingbear]

Crows are not a threat to eagles, but great horned owls definitely are. Lots of birds mob hawks and eagles including crows and shrikes, but owls will blast them right off their perches and can injure them. If you watch the famous SWFL bald eagle cam you can see this. There are several instances of it recorded on video. It just happened there a few days ago to a three month old eaglet E23. If you want eagles to nest on the platform you'll likely need to build a five x five foot starter nest anchored with wire rope. Bear in mind though it's a metaphysical certitude that Al Capone (likely Alice Capone given females are always larger in owls, eagles and other raptors) will attack them. But that is common and the eagles will reluctantly live with it as they do in many other places. You should add more perches under the platform so eagles can land without hitting the ground if Alice Capone blasts one during the night.

[@BronzeBobcat]

Would love to see you catch some bluegills and see how big they have gotten

[@chipseiler1766]

Please check out how their (your pond's bass) major feeding times line up with the "Bass Forecast" app's predicted Major and minor feeding times. That will be VERY interesting! Personally, I am rarely catching my fish during the predicted times! Most of the time, the fish I catch come before and after the predicted times. ...Those frog blow ups were epic. Reminds me of the old Bama Bass fishing video days! ...So glad you got that water cleared up in the new pond. That pond is SO gorgeous. I really love how everything seems to be coming together now. The eagle landing on the branch was pretty awesome. All that hard work bearing fruit. ...That Fieldbot is going to be a game changer!

[@edmartin875]

Back in the 50s and 60s my dad was a faithful follower of the Solunar Tables with their major and minor activity schedules. We would fish all day anyway but when the time was approaching dad would always warn us to be ready because the bass were going to start striking our lures faster than ever any minute now. Those tables were right as rain most of the time.

[@johnlindsay3559]

I so appreciate your wholesome and positive content. Please keep this going.

[@alecplano9563]

IDEA TO SEE FISH BETTER: There's a special angle in physics called brewsters angle. When you have two materials with different index of refraction there is one angle where the light that makes it into your eye, or a camera, has no reflective part and only the transmitted part coming from underneath the water. For the water air interaction this is about 53 degrees from the perpendicular axis to the water. It would be a cool expereiment to try to set up a camera at that angle looking into the small pond and we should see straight through the water like glass to all the fish underneath with no reflections from the clouds.
