A nature video without summer? There's a reason! 🥵

This short film is a journey of unexpected discoveries! I spent months trying to bag that one perfect waterfowl shot (did I get it? You'll have to see!) and even gained a surprising new appreciation for some loud, often-ignored geese. 🦢

The real fun began with the Spring birds. I met an extremely skittish species of duck and then discovered a brand new bird I thought was just a common grackle! Plus, the acrobatic Tree Swallows show up in massive numbers just to mess with my camera's focus. 🤣

Which season was my favorite? Watch now to see the amazing wildlife diversity at Dutch Gap and discover the unexpected species I encountered!
