Tim Harrell - Swamp Trail Camera Pickup

[@canoefor-one1102]

Thanks, Tim, for another great glimpse of Florida orchids and wildlife. Your dedication and hard work continue to bring viewers the opportunity to see a Florida we didn't know still existed.

[@darlenegood4101]

The gator was coool. I think it funny when the animals sniff the camera.

[@Oldsparkey]

In the morning sit my cup of coffee down and click on the computer. Go to KZbin and find a new Tim Harrell video. That moment always feels like Christmas morning when I was a kid and found a nice present under the tree. Yes Virginia , Christmas arrives more the one time every year.

[@ShrikeZone]

Thank you.

Certainly one of your better camera placements, Tim, with all the varied wildlife behavior. Your effort is much appreciated. Great work and keep it up. I can see why you're so enamored of the ghost orchid. The flower is stunning.

Glad you enjoyed it

[@maccthelab5165]

Beautiful photos of 'your' ghost orchids!!

[@cliffordabernathy9070]

In my area we had some people robbing a archaeological site. The fish and game put a camera up on the site then hid a second camera watching the first camera.. the grave robbers found the first camera and took it but their picture was on the second hidden camera watching the first camera and they went to jail. Just a thought about catching the camera thieves.

Everytime I watch Tim hiking through I really feel for him. And brave to walk around in that black water. Of all the wildlife, The black bear astonished me as how thin he/she looked.🙁

[@ShrikeZone]

I love it. I think those bears are fine. It's pretty hot down here in the summer and the bears never seem to get too chunky.

[@Jamart2662]

@@ShrikeZone I grew up in S.W. Florida, mainly a beach, back waters and gulf girl but loved hiking in the glades and pine lands too. I remember wading in maybe a foot of black water but you go in the deep and brave to do so. We can tell how much you love it and appreciate all your videos!.. Makes me homesick at times.

[@mamacitabambi3558]

I notice Florida bears are thinner than Montana forested bears. Florida bears also have less hair. The bears, although thinner, appear healthy. I'm thinking the bears with thicker hair, look bigger partly because of all the hair they have. Also, Montana bears thicken up a lot, because of the long hibernation period. I don't know how long Florida bears hibernate for?

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

Another beautiful video Tim. I'm so sorry you had another camera taken from you. That's awful! The first bird ~ it was such a pretty color, I had never see before. I don't even know what kind it was, but had a yellow hue to it. The Ghost Orchids are so beautiful and I would never have known about them without coming to your channel. The smaller bear was so thin. I don't think I've ever seen such a thin bear like that. The deer, the big cat, gator, coons... Wow! Thank you for all you do. You are a GEM.

But loved all the animals & U Still Are The Bravest Guy Ever! Thanks for Another Exciting Video. Looking forward to the next one. 🙋🏼‍♀️

I go to that spot often. I won't let those orchids die. I'll move them when the time comes.

[@georgesilverhawkstrailcame2297]

Hey Tim, this was a fabulous spot. And man, sure sucks haven your camera stolen. I suppose the Park Ranger could be right, but sadly there are a lot of opportunistic thieves with no conscience who will come across a camera and come back with bolt p-cutters, and many will carry a small pair just incase they run across a trail camera. Regardless, they're skunks of the highest order. Sorry man... Your new Recon Advantage has captured a lot of "Totally Awesome" video clips. The Alligator, the Fawn, those Raccoons and wading birds were all cool stuff. Blessings, and all my best. Be safe, George

[@ShrikeZone]

Thanks George

[@georgesilverhawkstrailcame2297]

@@ShrikeZone I really like the older Browning Recon Advantage and prefer it over the newer models. Its LED's illumination field isn't quite as wide, but the camera is sharper and has better contrast in my opinion. And it's one of the most reliable cameras ever. Good luck with it...

[@davidrust3169]

Love your videos, Tim! I wonder: are there add-ons or something for your trail cameras that can broadcast a feed via satellite or something if they are moved more than X-number of feet? In other words, if someone tries stealing your camera, it would broadcast the last 4-or-so videos as well as whatever it is currently shooting to you, at home, and allow for tracking to where it ends up? That way, you'd not only know where the camera went (even if it's just destroyed) but also you may get some images of the thieves that you can turn over to the authorities. I know nothing about trail cams, mind you: I just hate to hear that people breaking laws cost you your equipment!

Hello Tim, have you asked any science teachers for school-age kids if they would wanna watch this live feed. I would think somebody would love to have this in their lunchroom. Just a thought. I love your channel, Kathy

[@mamacitabambi3558]

Personally, I feel that's a really great idea. It's so educational.

[@aprilharvey2225]

Wow! Those cameras are expensive. Can you get insurance for them?

[@kathybrandt6060]

Hello Tim, I didn’t know where to put a note about your owl that’s on a live cam. So I figured I’d leave it here. First I’d like to say wonderful idea. I could sit and watch that owl for hours. It’s very interesting that she talks to her self. Or maybe she’s talking to her babies. We may never know. But when I was a kid back in the late 70s yeah my cat chased a baby screech owl into the yard. She never got really close to it because of the beek clicking. We called the people who could come rescue this poor owl. It was Fourth of July and within an hour of finding him on the phone, back then we didn’t have the Internet we looked in the Yellow Pages. But he came out and said the birds perfectly healthy but I will take it because it’s still a fledgling because it couldn’t fly. It was so cool my cat comes running up to the door and is screaming at us and then runs back towards the bird and circles it and then comes back to the house again. That cat brought me a gift every day. Sorry I’m rattling on here, really wonderful idea. Thanks Kathy

[@janmorse6948]

Wow! That 'coon sure put the Habeas Grabus on that lizard quick-like. Ditto the Little Blue Heron and the little fish. Surprised the ibis didn't try to steal it. When I was a kid living in that area 50+ years ago, the old timers would have called the ibis a "curlew". My folks generation used to eat them. Do you ever see any pythons in the area south of Okeechobee where your cameras are placed?

[@ShrikeZone]

I've seen a few dead pythons on the highway.

[@DocLarsen44]

This was a very timely video, Tim! Yesterday morning, we discovered that something had killed a young hawk that was very similar to the one seen near the beginning of this video. The one we found was a little more grayish in color where the one you videoed was a bit more tawny in color. It was killed in a large pine tree in our back yard; we saw the largest part of the body on a fairly large limb. My main suspect is one of the large owls we have seen and heard in the area. The next suspect is some kind of feline although we have never seen a bobcat (which, of course, means nothing) nor have we seen many house cats large enough to have attacked and killed this hawk 20-25 feet up in the tree. The images in the video confirmed our suspicions that the dead bird was young hawk. So, thank your for the great video once again.

[@maxmanx1294]

I wonder if the culprit is a great-horned owl.

[@ShrikeZone]

Owls can be pretty aggressive. They kill swallow tailed kites.

[@zzz7zzz9]

Likely an owl. I have doves that feed and drink in my yard. One year, a small hawk swooped in and killed one, while i was watching. It sat there and fed on it for awhile. The very next day, i was watching, and there the hawk was again, hanging out. Then suddenly a flash. An owl swooped in and took out the hawk, then proceeded to feed on it. Very interesting to have witnessed.

[@davidrust3169]

Say, Tim: I was just thinking of something... With that beautiful Bobcat walking by (pretty much in the same direction) as well as the very brief bear footage, have you ever thought about putting another camera a short distance away facing your initial camera so that, between the two of them, you can get multiple angles of the same animals for compositing together a video with possibly better takes? Or would that be too expensive or prone to mishaps?
