This video is NOT exceptional, but it is my first drone video using an actual “controller”, not my phone for control. The controller allows many, many more capabilities than a phone controlled video. The controller only arrived in the mail a few hours ago.
At the end of the video you will see me sitting on my deck … next to the forest (my bird feeders are to the right, my left). In fact two nights ago the feeders were pulled down by Mama Bear and her two cubs. In addition, I have a Bobcat that likes to hang out on my deck in the middle of the night. Both the Bobcat and Bears have been visiting since early April! Four days ago I saw the Bobcat in person for the first time, not just via my trailcams. (video link for email subscribers)
And a photo of my house from about three weeks ago.

just gorgeous, thank you for sharing these
That was fun to watch, thanks for sharing. The lupines are so beautiful!
You live in a wonderful place. I fell in love with Duluth after coming looking for Great Gray Owls and wished I had raised my kids in a place like Duluth, where there are skiing trails in neighborhoods, instead of busy Chicago.
I love your blog and your enthusiasm. I walk by your house occasionally when I march up & down 7 Bridges Rd. We live on Lester River Rd. Have you been back to the heron rookery you took some of us to earlier this year?
I have not been back into the Rookery. Now is the time!
You are having tons of fun! You are so generous to share your world and adventures with us. Thank you!
You live in a lupine-lovely, critter blessed world
