How is Roo?

"Baby Squirrel" - several videos in the recent months. Search her channel, you'll propably love 'em

​@@edmundoftheangles7977 u r right, thx. anyway, we'll find out.

[@johnwhiteman7483]

that was amazing. at 4;44 an owl or hawk or something flew behind you and your eyes traced its movement. Tuned in girl

[@Helen-us1ly]

I too have a baby squirrel in my care, the same age Roo was when you found him. I keep him in a terry cloth pouch around my neck (a strap), inside my t-shirt. He was found similarly to how Roo was. The cat found him and the dog made such a racket I had to investigate. I'm amazed at my cat, he knows I like animals alive, feeding strays etc. I now have a name Roo 2(too). I'm in love and know eventually he will be freed.

[@cknowles3980]

I can tell you are a very kind and caring person, thanks again for taking us along with you on your journey. I think your photography is amazing, and I’m sure you are an amazing person. Anyone who saves a squirrel and loves nature the way you do is definitely at the top of my list for great people.

[@ianmacewan9416]

Well; I thought and am sure most people thought that David Attenborough's documentaries could never be improved on, But you have actually done that. And with a fraction of the resources he had. Brilliant in every way lass and all the best from Scotland. Please don't get too confident with the bears. You don't get a second chance.

[@tashuntka]

And I quote, "Get the frying pan ! Get the frying pan!" 😳😳😳

[@theShamrockShepherdWagon]

I love it that you have the patience to photograph wildlife. It's such a luxury to watch this on a video. Thank you.

[@kashesan]

Where do you get your music ? It is so perfect for the forest videos. The squirrels never fail to bring a smile. Bon voyage! Stay warm. I love the Roo videos

[@DaniConnorWild]

Almost always MusicBed but occasionally Epidemic Sound.

[@azaleablue2261]

Happily binge watching Dani and Rue.

[@rachelcatt6977]

That photography is the very best I've ever seen. Red squirrels are my favorite to observe. THANK YOU.

[@minuslr]

I'm lucky to have grey squirrels in view of my house but would love to see a red one in my travels one day

[@spacemonkey200]

It's wonderful news that Dani has her favourite hoody back! Let's hope Roo is doing really well. ❤

[@kevinrickey3925]

Oh Dani, I'm so proud of you and the work you do and the recognition you so greatly deserve. Take Care my friend, You are awesome.

[@witved]

As a Dane, I find it difficult to express my gratitude for your videos in English, so I have to settle for sending you a heart. ❤

[@marsupialdungbucket]

You've now given me two things to look forward to, so thanks for that. 1. The crowdfunder. I'm sure there are quite a few of us who have been wondering how the squirrel forest project was coming along, so it will be great to finally be able to help out. 2. A video about your thoughts and feelings about rescuing Roo. I've loved the series as each one has brought back more memories of the squirrel I rescued over 40 years ago. Talking about your hoodie reminded me of the dungarees I sewed a pouch in for him to sleep in and that I kept them for well over a decade and only wore them when I needed cheering up and to remember happier times. Keep up the good work and have a wonderful year!

[@Daehawk]

Bless you and your little friend wherever they may be now

[@azaleablue2261]

I was distraught when Rue got sick, but only because I fell in love. It was a good video. You and Rue created suspense. I was hanging of my chair and crying my eyes out.

[@robindaniels2849]

I love watching your videos with Roo 🐿 I have a squirrel that comes on my porch everyday that I see on my cameras so I put fruit & nuts out in the morning before I go to work 😊 I look forward to seeing the 🐿 when I check the cameras it puts a smile on my face😊

[@SamW604]

How is Roo doing? I hope he is doing well in the wild. An update on him would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@rinephilbinartist]

Fabulous to watch this. Thanks for the upload. Brilliant to watch.

[@NoProb4Rob]

Wow, I love your attitude. You really show off the scenery, landscape, and wildlife. I am in New Zealand and have a friend who lives in Finland. Your vids help me appreciate his part of the world even more!

[@jabh7250]

The editing, tempo, feel, look, music, raw content and narration are exquisite. I'm so impressed!

How you do not have a million or more subs is beyond me. I am soo thrilled with where you're going....can not wait for the videos!!!

[@reallivebluescat]

KZbin is a big place. Spread the word

[@alanaUK]

I enjoyed the funny stamping and tale wiggling squirrels too! Your voice and sharing feels always so peaceful and balanced. Very much in sync with nature and wildlife. I am super stoked for you to be invited on a trip to Antartica!! It must feel overwhelming at times to have so much editing work to do. You have a beautiful mission that you carry out and its so special for people to join you on wildlife photography trips to Iceland and Alaska. Sending a warm hug, hopefully the very cold has set now for a long time. ❤

[@rayaan8327]

I recommended mpb to my friend who sold his camera. He said thank you. I got it from your video :) he sold his camera quick and easily and he was very thankful.

In those beautiful eyes, that terder smile and that peaceful voice... I see an angel's soul. I love your work, your channel and what you do for Rude and nature 😊

Roo is a sweetie, she's done amazing with him and is wonderful as a human being. Roo I think about much his journey touched me! ❤

Wonderful video. I’ve been very moved by the Roo videos. It’s great he personalized your hoodie for you. Hope you have a great voyage. It should be fun sharing the experience with the other photographers and participants.

I love your videos so much! I love the beauty of winter but most people hate it!😞This year in Canada there has been almost no snow, the firts time I've seen it since I was born. I would have loved a white Christmas like yours with snow-covered trees. 🥰🌲🌲❄❄🐿🐿🐦🐦The crowdfunder is a very good idea.👍🏻

[@fintonmainz7845]

Saving this to watch on a hot day in the summer. I'm bloody feeezzzzzin now...

[@martinbootneck]

Absolutely beautiful vlog especially seeing the goshawk (Accipiter gentilis). Back in the 1980's I was practising falconry and a friend of mine and I each had a male goshawk. These were captive bred birds and as they both came from the same clutch we had them early enough that they became imprinted. We had many many years together. I named him “Einar” which means “lone warrior" in old Norse.

[@user-rt5oo6ro8l]

taking care of and spending so many days on 1 squirrel say so much about you and your huge heart! in my perfect world all humans are like you! ❤

[@romanstark-filmyifotografi9111]

Squirrel - a very nice animal and at the same time tamed by you. You are in very good company. And this lens almost overwhelms you.

[@vinamerosa1923]

Thank you Dani, it was fun hanging out a little bit. Happy New Year ! . I have an older 200-400 Canon lense, I like it, but, yes it's Very Heavy to lug around in the woods. I have a 2x tele converter and if there's enough light it's pretty neat to shoot photos from a mile away, but it has to be on a tripod. As a side note, my little Icon photo is of a Katmai Bear with a big ole Salmon in it's mouth, I've already mentioned how I part of the online community who follow Brooks Falls. Antarctica sounds amazing !! can't wait. Good Shootin out there ! 🐻❤🐟

[@mrwest5552]

you go get those images girl ! your technical knowledge of your kit, your commitment to the light and the image, your interest in nature, your prep for cold weather . . . you are all that and more.

[@andreaschudzinski-buchholz4221]

I'm once again very excited about your new video Dani, such wonderful shots that are so heartwarming, great sound and a great atmosphere in every moments, thank you so much for that 😍🐿❤ It looks so nice when you look up into the trees 😉🤗

Always a very good time to watch your video.

[@BlueEternities]

Jeez you keep getting better and better with that camera. What an awe-inspiring video.

[@Luvlifemtbike]

Thank you for your truly magical videos Dani. They are warm like a lovely childhood memory. Can I please say that there is nothing wrong if you make some money while hosting these trips. There is no reason it can’t become a business doing what you love to do. Anyone that has a problem with you making money from hosting trips needs to find another channel

[@sharoncrawford01]

I was thinking the same thing and totally agree. It's hard work and a lot of responsibility hosting clients on any kind of trip, but especially so in somewhere like Antarctica. Not to mention benefitting from your incredible knowledge, expertise and company. I hope that moving forward it will become something you feel more comfortable with, as the value you give to so many of us is incredible. Hope you have an awesome trip, I can't wait to watch the videos. It's definitely a bucket list trip for me!! ❤

[@steveh1328]

[@lisamiller4312]

Oh. I so wish I could see the foxes with you! I made friends with a red one who I met at the dumpster where I live one night. I didn't like her crossing the road from the protected reservation a few miles down the road to hit up our dumpster. I only spoke with her twice, and then, sure enough, she was hit on the road. I was devastated. I had stopped throwing out meat in our dumpster because of her, taking that trash to my mothers. Silly, I know, as there was plenty of food in the dumpster from others. She was beautiful. She and a mama raccoon who poked me during my midnight porch sittings started me watching animal documentaries. I love yours so much as you share much knowledge, and they are beautiful. Can't wait for Roos' final video. He's quite the charmer! For those of us who can't afford to see the animals in other places ( I'm in Huron, OH USA), thanks for sharing your adventures❤❤❤

[@DaniConnorWild]

Roads can be so horrendous for wildlife 💔 I wish someone could create heat sensor cameras for cars that can warn drivers if an animal (or even human) is about to cross. Maybe in the future we can see such technology implemented.

[@robertcharlessceats3647]

I live around 53km north of Barcelona. Last year I saw a fox desperately trying to cross the road from an industrial estate to the golf course opposite. I stopped the car hazard lights on then got out and stopped traffic from the opposite direction. I'm pleased to say the fox took advantage and crossed safely. It makes you feel happy.

[@sundance2005]

What I hate is the way they build roads (here in the states) with a concrete divider where animals get trapped on the road and their last days on the earth are filled with panic and fear.@@DaniConnorWild

[@lisamiller4312]

@@DaniConnorWild that would be so lovely to invent protection for our wildlife from autos.❤️

[@lisamiller4312]

@DaniConnorWild I have a confession, and maybe you can help me. Every night around midnight, I sit outside on my porch and look at the moon over Lake Erie. One night, I felt 4 nudges on my back. I turned around, and this big raccoon was there. I said hello, and she started checking my coat pockets, I'm assuming looking for treats. I had none, but I keep a bowl of water for stray animals when it's so hot. So she drank water and groomed herself, then went her way. She showed up every night for 4 months, and we did the same thing, only I would talk more. One day, she showed up at 8pm instead of midnight and brought her 3 small pups. I was shocked. I ran in and got a loaf pan with water. She came up on the porch, but only 1 pup followed her. The 2 other pups stayed on the ground. They came for 4 days straight. On the 5th day no one came. 3 days later, the 3 pups showed up in bad shape. I called the wildlife rescue center. They said the pups were born late in the season and probably wouldn't survive winter as they hadn't had time to eat enough, but they wouldn't take them in. I didn't know what to do. I've always been told not to feed raccoons, but I felt these pups would not live through winter if they didn't fatten up. I feel extremely guilty as I chose to start feeding them. I did put the food ( mix of high protein puppy chow and fruits), in different spots, so they might learn to forage for food-not just come to the porch. I believe 2 didn't make it, but 1 showed up on my porch while I was there. He looked skinny so I fed him right there with me sitting. I've decided if he makes it through winter, I will not feed him any longer, but I am very torn as to whether I've done the wrong thing. There were nights I sat out, and I FELT mama nudge me, but I turned around, and she wasn't there. I felt like her spirit was asking me to help her pup. Yes, I know that sounds insane. No one but my son knows I'm feeding pup. That's what I call him. I hope I'm not a horrible person for choosing to feed him through the winter. I still treat him as a wild animal, and have never tried to pet him. I do like talking to him, though. I hope I haven't done something terribly wrong.
