photo of a plastic case used for Audiomoth acoustic recorders, laying on some grass. on the side of the case is a small pile of small white ant eggs
video of a hummingbird perched in the open on a tree branch while a light rain falls around him. the video then transitions to slow-motion as the hummingbird flies away
composite photo of an eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis) flying horizontally across the screen against a vegetation background. Below the bat is a spectrogram showing the bat's echolocation calls over time

zoomed in picture of a screen with a video game character on screen. the character's wearing medieval knight armor and a pair of hinged spectacles
close up video of a cute hermit crab eating the inside of a grape slowly
photo of my camera on a tripod with a long telephoto lens, aimed at a frozen stream
a black and white close-up video of a partially frozen stream. small rapids run through mounds of snow and ice with frozen droplets

Time lapse video taken on the edge of a large wooded pond. The sun sets while some clouds roll through and then the stars slowly appear overhead wheeling around the North Star. there are a depressing number of streaks of light through the night sky caused by satellites

video of a wooded slope with a path. 2-3 bats are flying up and down the slope rapidly, chasing each other and hunting bugs
photo of a broad-tailed hummingbird preparing to snack on some purple flowers - I believe larkspur

photo of an American bullfrog (I think) half submerged in shallow water
photo compilation of an Eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis) swooping by against a dark forest background. below the bat is a series of audio spectrograms showing the bat's sequence of echolocation sounds. the sequence also includes the calls and feeding buzz of a big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) captured in the background
photo of a bright pink flowering Asian bleeding heart plant against a forest background
photo of two tree swallows shooting through the air. the foreground one is out of focus, but the background one is in focus and shooting towards the ground with its wings mostly folded and its white belly showing to the camera

black and white photo of small flowing rapids in a partially frozen river. the water movement is blurred due to long exposure
video of a short clip from a trailcam set up by a wooded riverbank. a portly raccoon approaches towards the camera and passes by it quickly. it's christmas eve and quite cold out (-5 C)
video shows a scrolling spectrograms and waveform; it's been slowed down (I think 8x) so sounds are audible. calls consist of two echolocating big brown bats interacting with each other. their calls transition to social communication calls later in the video. maybe a 'back off!'
photo of a small river with woods on either side of it. there are small rapids and a small log in the water and ice is formed around chunks of the log and water surface
photo of a tree trunk and some green foliage. in the center is a bright red scarlet tanager bird looking at the camera, but with a couple bright green leaves covering up most of his head

photo of a black capped chickadee perched on a thin white mossy branch, looking at the camera

video showing a music video (by artist Colleen), and then pans to a speaker playing said music, and then to an old analog Tektronix oscilloscope which shows a small screen with a neon green line representing the audio signal. it jumps up and down with the music in funky waves
