You will see birds that require a mixture of marsh, grass and woodland for their home territories; i.e. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Catbirds, White-throated Sparrows, Northern Flickers and Warblers.
Watch a male Northern Oriole spend time removing a parasitic larvae from one of his fledglings. Resting and feeding Sandhill Cranes greet you with their echoing calls.   Enjoy the graceful soaring flight of White Pelicans and much more.

"ANGEL" Part 1: has been available for some time.  We consider it to be as good as any of our other six nature DVDs.  "ANGEL" tells the story of a little orphan White-tailed Deer who we adopted and raised to be one of our most wonderful wild friends we have.  She grew to raise her own fawns with us in or yard area.

Part 1: follows Angel until she finished raising her first fawn named Kingo into her second year when her twins were ready to be born.  Her life was destined to have the best and worst of times.

There will be "ANGEL" Part 2 and "ANGEL" Part 3: DVDs to follow in the future.

It is not our intention to condone or condemn ethical, well managed hunting.
