Closeup Footage of Pennsylvania Wildlife (Filmed at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge)
I put on my "nature documentary" hat and did my best to obtain some closeup footage of some of the wildlife found here in Pennsylvania and the mid-Atlantic region, filmed at the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge in Tinicum.
Notes about this video:
1. This is going to be a monthly series as I've always loved nature documentaries myself and enjoy documenting/capturing animals & their behaviors.
2. Most of the footage is somewhat shaky due to the magnification of filming at the 600 focal length on my 200-600 zoom lens. The gimbal I recently purchased can't handle the weight of the lens, so I might have to upgrade for more stability/less shake. Also, there were some platforms I was on (not solid ground) which caused the camera to be more susceptible to vibration.
3. As much as I wanted to include the audio that matches the video, there was construction in the distance, heavy wind gusts, and plenty of people around. Besides, we're not really missing much sound-wise, so I added a peaceful audio track from one of my previous nature videos.
4. Video was shot in 4K which allowed me to zoom in even further to 1080p during the editing process, thus "doubling" the magnification even more.

I know some people are complaining about the lack of "regular programming" but I can tell you really like making these nature videos, and I think they're really special. Don't let the internet dictate what you choose to create.
Agree. Watched his video about all the jobs he had and he made this channel to express a bunch of creative energy. All of this is for him, it always was. We are just allowed the opportunity to enjoy it too.
@@c.j.wilkerson9112Pretty sure he gets satisfaction from this channel as well..
I mean, it's not that different than an actor, guitarist, writer, painter, teacher, or anyone else who loves what they do. As for the switch from indoor to outdoor content, that's simple: I just want to make stuff outdoors. That's it. It's that simple. I'm in the basement writing this, same place where my videos normally take place, and it just nauseates me just thinking about filming in here lol
Honesty the way KZhead narrows you down into one specific kind of content is really annoying as it kills diversity of content. Each channel must be ultra-specialized, there's no middle ground, as a creator you feel "obligated" to only do the content you think will yield the most views. Freeing oneself from this logic is hard...
These up-close captures of birds in motion has made me to realize that that when they move their heads, their tail moves as well (99% of the time). The fact that multiple birds exhibit the same displayed actions is even more intriguing. Great captures, Paul! 🤘🐥🤘
Their head moves are quite fast and with their low weight the tail helps them to balance on little branches, so they "always" move the tail when they move the head. When they are on a solid floor they don't usually move the tail up and down as they did on branches. Take into account that their claws are small compared to the body and are not muscular, therefore they do not grab a branch with strength, they only stay over and balance. In my opinion of course.
The sound of nature was so peaceful that I sat in the right place with my earphones on, closed my eyes and meditated. I was under a lot of stress from one thing or another, but I'm at peace inside now. Thank you for the video!
I’ve been big into wildlife photography in western PA the last year, this is some great content to be seeing
Uncle E being out in the wild is frightful
Even if he is in Philadelphia I didn't know Philadelphia had parks like this
This place, John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, is in Tinicum - right across from the Philly airport!
I absolutely love these nature videos, they're so relaxing! TY Uncle E!
Awesome stuff. Always here for Uncle E and whatever new thing he's into Sincerely, Fan - since my sophomore year of high school (2015)
Spectacular footage!!!
Doesn't get better than that, takes a lot of dedication to make something like this. Thank you
Absolutely stunning .. this world is so beautiful
I actually love the photography and nature content, particularly as someone trying to get into it myself!
Thank you so much for taking me to the park with you!
Fancy seeing turtles basking in the sun in your own back yard. How beautiful!
Glad at least one other person could enjoy my state
Just want to stop by even though this isn’t my type of content. I prefer being outside myself over watching it through a phone screen . I will continue watching your old stuff and I’m just glad you are able to make the type of videos you like! I appreciate your work a lot definitely among best ASMR KZheadr out there!
beautiful
Love the tree creeper! I remember spotting one in a forest once and was mesmerised following it around for ages. I later learnt that theyre really common birds, just a challenge to spot
yeah, this is my first time finding one
really wish i lived in an area with more nature, the closest i have to a national park is the local walmart
Earth 2 truly is beautiful ❤
You have very good and warm Heart for animals all kinds and thats beautiful 😊😊😊 i Love gooses
The whole time I've been watching you. Well over 5 years) I never knew you lived in the same state as me 😂
not sure how far it would be for you but would love if you could do a video walking around jacobsburg park's trails!! :3
Nice thing ya doing its nice tho see nature
We need a campfire asmr. That would be great
I sure appreciate nature videos. I love the sound of the Red-winged Blackbird. From what I read, the new DJI RS 4 seems to have more torque on the motors. Also, I know it is possible to stabilize vide in post. Lots of info about that on YT of course. Check something called Gyroflow.
Yeah, the DJI RS 3 I own can't hold the weight of the lens used in this video. Know the RS3 Pro can. Didn't know there's an RS4 out already lol. Looks like I'm making an exchange.
Will this be the next place where Corvus finds his new set of organs?
Spoiler: that's why this was being filmed to show Corvus the available life forms.
Well if he sees me I’m done for.
Those sounds...
Been enjoying these wilderness videos but I hope we'll be hearing from another member of the band soon :o
probably when it's too hot to film or in the Winter ;) I haven't forgotten about the formation of the Arkham Sanitarium band, I just don't want to film indoors. That's it.
I would believe Mother nature is the goddess of ASMR.
if anyone wonders "i wonder what does a muskrat/beaver feel like?" ive hunted some and i can say that they have very loose skin and very soft fur their skin makes them hard to grab as per it being very loose and there fur is like those soft blankets you see at like ross or tj max
I’m noticing that your profile picture is becoming more distorted after some time now, does this mean that you will be quitting soon or taking a break?
definitely is a song sparrow
Wish i could do this kinda stuff
Please, some good soul,tell me what is the name of Uncle E's video where he pulls strings/treads which represent our worries and stress.I tried oh so hard to find it and nothing.
Those treads are like ropes and even he pretends that some are very long and has hard time pulling them out (this now became a sexist joke)
Are you talking about the entity video?
A N I M A L S
I like beaver.
I prefer your other stuff
Could you do a caveman asmr roleplay video?
I really love the pictures, but did you just lose 2 teeth?
not in reality no

I gotta say it, I miss the rest of your videos, your channel has been overwhelmingly nature outdoors recently, and while they are nice, I'm not a huge fan of them myself. I'm guessing you've maybe taken a break from RP stuff to give yourself a creative break or something, hope it goes well whatever the reason may be.
And it's going to be overwhelmingly nature until... trying to think... Autumn? Winter? I mean, I might not ever get back to the other content. As I've told some other folks: I don't want to be indoors making content. That's it. Nothing to do with taking a break or lack of ideas. Hell, I spent over $1000 buying musical instruments to form the Arkham Sanitarium band, which I still need to do, but these non-indoor/outdoor videos take precedence atm.

That beaver is so sigma skibidi toilet
NO VIEWS IN 14 SECONDS?? PFFT
