Squirrel Life 21 - Squirrels in the Snow!

Welcome to this entertaining video showcasing the hilarious antics of red, gray, and black squirrels in the deep snow. You'll be amazed by their clever strategies for burying nuts while keeping a watchful eye out for sneaky squirrels who might try to steal their stash.
With their playful and energetic personalities, these squirrels show no fear when it comes to diving into the snow and finding new hiding spots. Whether they're racing each other through the drifts or keeping a lookout for potential threats, the squirrels are always on the move.

One thing I discovered is that squirrels sure don’t hibernate in the winter. It’s so cute seing their tiny head popping up above the snow. Fun to watch.

Squirrels and snow are two of my favorite things on earth. 😍 Question for you -- how long does it take you "in the field" to get enough footage for a video like this? Do you have to record hours of nothing happening? That's my dilemma, LOL. Thank you!

I don’t use remote cameras so yes it’s all shot live. I go out 3-4 times, on days I’m home, at 8, noon, 3:30 and dusk. That’s when they come around and it’s pretty reliable. Some days I get enough great footage for a video in one go. Most of the time it’s just mundane interactions so all that gets deleted. I would estimate I only keep 10-15% of the raw footage. Then much of that is cut in editing. But I still have a pretty large file of unused clips that will fit in at some point so that helps during dry spells. I would say it takes about 10-12 hours to do a 5 min video once I have an idea of a story and import the clips. It’s almost like a scientific study now because I’ve learned so much and want to know more. But I do enjoy the company of these critters and connecting with nature. 🙂
