Heartbreaking Hoax - 2006-08-04 Countdown with Keith Olbermann Leesa Brown 2012-08-14 | Keith and several others were scammed by a "sick kid" story. But I think the main thing to remember here is that it is better to be taken in by a sad story than to harden your heart and avoid helping someone who might actually need the help. Keith Olbermann is a good man, and I'm glad this didn't change him.
Melanistic Barred Owl Leesa Brown 2019-07-17 | Just a very short video of a Melanistic Barred Owl. I thought when I saw it that it was no big deal, that maybe there were a lot of dark morph Barred Owls, but I recently found out that the're actually fairly rare. Their patterning is also different from a standard Barred Owl.This was one of five Barred Owls I saw that day, which is a record for me in any case.Taken by me at Leu Gardens, in Orlando, Florida, on April 17, 2018. (Yes, this is a wild owl.)

Manta Ray Rescue Leesa Brown 2016-10-15 | This man was fishing and caught a manta ray in Tampa Bay. He ended up pulling the ray to a shallow area, and setting it free. Took a while. It did survive, but it had to rest a while.
Otters! Leesa Brown 2015-11-10 | Otters, in Joe's Creek today, in St. Petersburg Florida. I've only seen them (briefly) a few times, so this was nice.
Great Argus Pheasant Leesa Brown 2015-03-26 | Just a short clip so you can hear what a male Great Argus Pheasant sounds like. It's LOUD in real life - makes you jump if you're nearby.

Great Horned Owl Leesa Brown 2015-01-05 | Not the best video, but it was getting dark, and I had to zoom in a bit to see it.
Curious Green Hopper Leesa Brown 2014-12-21 | At my sister's house in St. Petersburg, this little guy was sitting on her table. While I took photos of it, it followed the camera, and seemed fascinated by it. It kept jumping up onto my camera, and then when I used my cell (later) to photograph it, it jumped on that. Then back to the camera and so on. Funny!

Delta IV Launch Leesa Brown 2014-05-17 | May 16, 2014 Not a great video, but I didn't know it was going to happen. :) Sheer luck.
Nesting Sandhill Cranes Leesa Brown 2014-05-02 | My first time seeing a Sandhill Crane nest, or a chick this young. :) Used the zoom lens, and stayed back far enough so I didn't upset them.
Froggies In The Recycle Bin Leesa Brown 2014-04-23 | What happens when you leave a recycle bin in an old, closed park for oh.... say... a year?? This. :) These little guys were inside for the whole walk back, hanging around just inside the lid (until I opened it, and they jumped inside). Poor things.

Eagle Chasing Osprey at Sunset Leesa Brown 2014-01-13 | A little hard to see, but it's a young eagle chasing an osprey, and I believe the osprey drops whatever it is carrying early on. Watch for the splash.
Osprey Flying At Sunset (Turn down your speakers) Leesa Brown 2013-11-09 | Just what the title says. Not a great video, but I like it anyway. :) Unfortunately, I missed the part where it was skimming the surface of the water. As soon as I turned on the camera, the osprey stopped doing it.Taken November 8, 2013
Sunset in Central Florida Leesa Brown 2013-11-08 | November 7, 2013Sorry for the little bit of shakiness. When I take these, I'm standing in thick grass at the edge of a lake, so it's hard to turn and still keep my footing stable. :)

President Obama - No. Leesa Brown 2013-10-17 | Just what it says. :)Sick to death of the government shutdown and all the GOP/Tea Party crap.... when we finally got a deal, someone asked President Obama if this would all happen again in a few months. His answer was short - and sweet.
Small Alligator Leesa Brown 2013-08-31 | This little alligator was in the canal by our lake. He "chuffed" at me. Not sure what that means, but likely a warning to stay away. No worries. I wasn't about to get close.
