Transcription

All my life I've enjoyed being around a stream or lake or swamp, any place that there's wildlife. Love to fish and hunt. Seems like I could always see more along a stream than a lot of other people. I like to take people up in the marsh and show them the bird life there is up there, especially the nesting birds. Some of the birds are tame enough so that we can pick them up. I enjoy handling the birds, seeing how close I can get to them. It's uh so much uh life up in the swamp that a lot of people don't realize what life there is in the swamp. I had a chance to acquire this concession here and so I thought I'd take a chance at it. [Music] Hey, hey, hey. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] Well, this is a family of leaf spinners. They're about ready to leave the nest. Part of them have left the nest here. Just all their on the nest and there's two over there. There should be five in there. See, they walk around on the grass. They're the smallest member of the heron family. Look how they wave their neck back and forth. A little bit later. I'll show you one of their nests that's got eggs in. And we can uh pick the old bird up. We were riding. I saw that um yellow flower and it was it came right up from the lily pad. Mhm. See how quiet they stay and they walk around in there all covered with fuzz and down just starting to get their pin feathers. Yeah. time that I've ever came up on to a breed without her covering her eggs, making some effort to cover them. I think she has six eggs in there. They cover that cover that nest with that rotten vegetation and the sun keeps those eggs just as warm and nice as can be. During the day when the sun is shining, she doesn't have to hurry back to incubator eggs. They're a real remarkable bird. When the young are born get strong enough, they get on their mother's back and when she swims away, they ride her right out. Swim right away with it. The bird. What? What kind is it? I don't know. That's her right there. That's Bill Greed right there. She is a kind of duck, isn't she? Yes, they're a diving duck. Daddy, can we go on the boat? Daddy, can we go on the boat? Oh, that was your car. I didn't have to worry about [Music] [Music] Hey, hey, hey, hey. [Music] We're very fortunate here to have this osprey on a stump so that everybody can see. And I believe she [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Well, we done Yeah. They better start cleaning them. She thinks you're going to clean them. I'll file.
