Wildlife at a Sonoran desert water hole

- Here's a compilation of trail cam video from a small pond in my west side Tucson backyard. I have maintained it for over 30 years, so many generations of critters call it home. Me too.
June, 2017, was the hottest ever recorded here. Bit warm. OK, Cheese and Rice it's hot!!
But Sonoran Desert critters are well adapted, and there is an abundance mesquite and Palo verde beans, and saguaro fruit to eat this time of year.
Stay cool.
Thank you for doing this. The time for man made intervention in climate crises among wild animals is now. I just saw a news report of a small herd of giraffes that died in the terrible drought in Kenya with no access to water, of all things, and very little food. We can no longer look at our wild neighbors with our hands behind our bank. In the face of man made climate change - it is up to us to avert these disasters whenever necessary.
Thanks for not putting music , it's perfect with only nature sounds , unfortunately most nature videos are posted with music ,which ruins them , and I have to mute all the time.
Oh yes for sure, no doubt about that!
I feel the same way.
Hearing the birdsong and insects is as wonderful as seeing the wildlife.
Bob Foster, It's nice that you put that watering pond out there. It certainly gets a lot of use. Nice yard too.
"Excuse me, there is a hare in my water" - Deer
Don't be deluded
Hare and Bear are dropping a deuce next to one another. The hare turns and asks Bear '' Do you have problems with shit sticking to your hair''? Bear grabs the hare and proceeds to wipe himself with the horrified hare. Then replies ''Not today''...
😀👍♥️
You should call a lynx to hunt the rabbit !
🐇👀 😄😄😄😄😄
This brought a great amount of peace to me in a very difficult time in my life. Thank you for sharing , enjoyed watching .
Awe. 🌹❤🌹❤
Maybe you'd enjoy my large Arizona playlist: it shows much beautiful scenery, terrain, wildlife, even Arizona's Mustangs. From the desert to the forests, from monsoon to the snow, from the Grand Canyon to the Mogollon Rim to the San Francisco Peaks north of Flagstaff, from drives to hikes and more, there's a lot to see. Real peace doesn't come this way, but seeing Nature helps a lot; nature is comforting. There's Elk, White-tailed Deer, Mule Deer, Pronghorn Antelope, Bighorn Sheep, Donkeys (Burros), Mexican Gray Wolves, Mustangs, Rabbits, Hares, Squirrels, Black Bear, hundreds of birds and water-fowl, birds of prey, bison ("buffalo"), Bobcats, Mountain Lions, Jaguar too, etc., mountains, canyons, lakes, streams and rivers, calming and soothing scenes in Nature, and sweet music in some of those videos, very soothing.
If you'd like to see and hear something soothing, I also compiled a much smaller playlist with nature videos (mostly of Arizona) that feature serene sights and sounds, I call it Gentility of Scene and Sound. They are the most soothing of my huge Arizona playlist, and one other video is part of it too, that I also feature in my Perspective playlist, a video called Wings to Paradise (of high flying birds, that make the things of Man look small, giving us a more distant perspective). You'd have to watch and hear that Gentility playlist to understand, it's like a hug for the heart. Praying for you, Eulalio.
Eulalio Tacuba that’s great!! I hope things are better now!!

Look for binaural meditation sounds.
Binaural sounds SYNCHRONIZE both sides of the brain 🧠
While a synced brain is supposed to be the rule... due to the overwhelming amount of visual and social ‘noise’ one side will usually shut down...
Binaural sounds then restore things.
The deer is funny. "What is this thing? His ears are almost as big as mine."
jack rabbit
Mike DeBell hehe I think he wanted to make friends ❤️
@@LCbabyxO The mule deer was curious.
CA Catr they're friends ❤️
A mule deer afraid of a jack rabbit?
There are scarier things in the desert than rabbits, buddy.
Wonderful images of nature enjoying your pond. THANK YOU for your love for these creatures to fullfill their thirst. :-)
That was one thirsty coyote....
zenwizard42
Didn't know when she/he a get any water again.
P
Thirsty work being a coyote.
I was thinking same..
yall know why that coyote was so thirsty...... hot work chasing road runners........ well it was funny when I thunk it.
Bob Foster What a most selfless act of big hearted kindness you did here! If we could all be just a tad bit more like you, I think the world would be a better place. Thank you so much. I absolutely adore these videos. Very touching. God bless!😊😍😗
- Most animals : lets drink the water.
- The wild pig : let's use it as a pool :-)
epSos.de a lot of animals specially furry ones, aren't able to control their inner temperature thru sweat so they cover their bodies in mud or take baths :)
Don't you people see the fucking point, drinking water someone else has sweated and shit in, very nice.
I know that boar was peeing in that water
@@VilaToro64 Should have made a little spring, or something that drip water from above or sideways.
@Robert salinas No, i'd rather take half a day out with the undertaker than drink me own piss.
Thanks for helping all the critters!!
Quail are beautiful!
bob whites, most have been eaten or shot... I miss them and horned toads....
Yeah I really respect that, I live in Winnipeg which is considered cold to Canadians and when it gets to the end of winter around February when it goes to -50c(-58f) and all the bottoms of the trees and bushes are eaten I like to put out food for the rabbits and I leave a curled up insulated fresh air pipe for them to sleep in since it has to be better then the bushes. I also some times will leave a slab of ribs or meat hung on a tree branch for the wolves, coyotes, our resident lynx, and some times owls and foxes eat from there but I think the owls have an easy time hunting in the winter and the foxes and coyotes don't want to be eaten by the wolves so I see them less. I do the meat part more for me to watch them though since I most commonly see wolves when they are running on the highways and since coyotes are hard to spot and I have even seen one walking fast on my street literally from my front door and he didn't make a sound on the concrete and moved like a ninja, also lynxes are pretty sneaky to and I see them more on the security cameras or the window even since they have such good spacial awareness
49558201 no not bobwhites bobwhites are native to decidious forests places and oak savannahs
Never in my wildest dreams would I picture a hare and a hawk drinking water together. Amazing 💕
Thank you mr foster These wildlife films are beautiful and very welcome to us here in the UK. I think you are a wonderful person.
Thank you very much.
I think he's a wonderful person too
Bob permitting me here > kate jane, you might also appreciate the other videos (this is one) in my Arizona playlist, terrain, vegetation, wildlife, Nature, including Mustangs, from the desert to the mountains of snowy northern Arizona, beauty abounds. So much wildlife, so much appreciation I have for Arizona and its serene scenes. :)
You're such a blessing to these animals! You can see how grateful/happy some of them are for the water. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Bob, it is so calming. The water seems to relax us all. Nature is more important at a difficult time like this.
I hadn't thought any desert hares were left, really happy to to see them.What a poignantly beautiful and encouraging video, I'm so grateful to u for waterhole too.♡ what an enchanting scene.
The desert hares are called " Jack-Rabbits" even though they're not rabbits, but hares. There's lots of them. :) If you like Arizona wildlife, perhaps you'd like my Arizona playlist. It shows much wildlife, even Mustangs.
@human?, oh yeah, there's plenty of desert hares. I see them on some of the hiking trails in southern nevada.
Well the deer hadn't seen one befor either 😊
Be Happy It pisses 'em off they are literally everywhere, even in phoenix you can go to public parks and see them all day
I felt very peaceful while watching this. Thank you.
Me too! 😌👍
My coronavirus stress just melted away after watching and listening to nature!
I wanna come live with you! Get away from this corner apartment where I live in the downtown ghetto, traffic always so loud and polluting my air. I can't get away from it!! I can almost smell the fresh air, now. Just beautiful, so peaceful. Thank you again, hun. 🙏😍
This is my goal to have such a beautiful back yard with the Sonoran wildlife always passing through.. and being able to film the wildlife would be amazing!! I always wanted to be a wild life rehabilitater. I play the film desert dreams constantly it never gets old for me. This was an amazing video!
Maybe you'd like my big Arizona playlist; it shows a lot of wildlife.
Very kind of you to do this and to share with us! I'm also laughing...did you notice that at 13:08 the rabbit/hare shows up and the bird starts saying "rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit!" LOL.
It's amazing how careful the animals are in their natural environment. Silent and discreet but really knowing what's going on around them.
They have to be to survive there is no rest for the weary outside of all of our front doors
This is fantastic ! Thank you for sharing . And thank you on behalf of wildlife , too .
"Does this water taste like pork to you?"
So kind of you to make water available for these thirsty creatures. I really enjoy these videos. 😍
Such a Beautiful video to watch. How animals should be. Wild and free
Wild and free, including Mustangs!
Great to see the jackrabbit. Decades ago, we had so many ranging in our plains of Kansas. Now none are seen.
I'm a 15 year old kid that loves nature. Channels like this keep me going through winter. Thank you for the great vids!
Very enjoyable!! Love the quail and babies at the end. Great jackrabbit ....well it was all awesome. Thank you. ❤️
Great video. That is a oasis.
Don't be deluded, oasis is much bigger!!
@@panamono9217 Really? Ffs eat shit asshat
Love how the sweet coyote kept coming back to quench his/her thirst! Hope the young fella is still alive & kicking alive today.
Thank you for posting this video and helping those animals with your watering hole!
Thank you for maintaining this critical source of water for the Sonoran wildlife.
Thank you! Love that you do this for the pure enjoyment of it. I hope many more follow your example!
Amen to that! 👏🙏❤
What a great cam! So many wonderful animals!
Nature is beautiful
i found this very peaceful to watch.. thank you for doing this video... and thanks for taking care of the critters!😃
You've a kind and giving heart, Bob.
Thought nothing was going to be able to beat the cuteness of the deer and hare with matching ears...then the quail and chicks show up!
You did an outstanding job naturalizing your yard! Great use of native species.
Love that Bambi and thumper started off the video
How wonderful you provide a lifeline for these animals!! Such a tough environment for them. They all looked like they wanted to stay and drink forever. Im sure they are never far from your small pond.
These animals really appreciate this,good on the people who provided it.😍👍
Animal Kingdom : " hey let's go to Bob's for a drink". OK, but the deer won't buy a round, I guarantee.".
Nice work! Thanks for putting this compilation together for all of us trail cameras geeks!
Love it. You are doing a great service to the animals. Keep up the good work
That coyote was really thirsty, he kept coming back for more.😁
Probably washing out the taste of pet cat out of his mouth.
God bless u, it was very relaxing watching this.
great job helping wild life.
This a wonderful thing that you have done for all wildlife in your area plus I enjoy all the natural sounds, thank you for sharing this !
Extremely relaxing and peaceful video, thank you for bringing it to us.
It's so nice that you do this for these animals! Nice to watch!
Thanks for maker of this place and you to share it here. Really nice to watch and enjoy a moment.
What a wonderful thing to do for all the wildlife. That poor wolf was dying of thirst. Thank you for sharing this with us.💖
Beautiful wildlife in a beautiful setting. T. Foster
Thanks.
I love the deer and the jack rabbit is so big. Thank you for sharing your cam with us
Connie Hedges desert hare are big I love their ears
Nice! Love this..all these animals seem so thirsty. Thanks for sharing
What a gorgeous awsome back yard to have
I envy you Bob. If I lived in your area I would do the same thing. In fact, I tried to convince my wife to move to the Vail, Arizona on a couple acres where I could see Saguaro Cactus from the house. I love that environment, but my wife hates the desert. You are doing a good thing and I'm sure the critters appreciate it.
Your pool is a wonderful gift to wildlife. What a peaceful video. Thanks.
wow! i've never seen a lynx, on video or anywhere, only pictures. so dope, i think i'm going to move to arizona
So amazed at the variety of wildlife! Loved watching this!
So good of you to provide this, and at ground level also. Nice job.
Could watch this all day ,thank you .
Thank you so much for posting this, I am moving to the Tuscon area in a few months. Can't wait to see all the wildlife
The coolest video ever. I love seeing wildlife.
This was very interesting to watch. Thanks for posting!
I used to have javelina come in my back yard when I lived in Cottonwood. They’re such quiet and dainty eaters. 😄
Thank you for this opportunity to adore this. Precious stuff.
Did you make that pond? It’s a life saver for these animals & birds. Boy, that coyote is getting his fill. Are those hogs? Out in the desert? I was waiting for an animal to bathe or wade in that....sure enough; the hogs(?) & birds. Did my heart good to see that? So many animals. It’s nice to see how various animals can gather together & share. Great video & thank you for sharing.
They’re javalenia spelling probably not correct
Beautiful video! Thank you!
What a beautiful area!! I enjoyed your wildlife. Thank you for posting the video.
very cool that you have created a small sanctuary for your local "friends"...thanks
I love the brave little rabbit!
Im so happy I found this video! Thanks for sharing.
I envy you your backyard. Not only because of the animals, but a nice assortment of plant life.
very enjoyable video, thanks for doing this - thanks for giving me some inspiring things to do when i retire!
What a great video! Thank you for sharing that.
beautiful. Thank you for sharing this glimps into this kindly offer you provide for the wildlife.
Thanks for putting up that waterhole and thanks for filming it so we can enjoy the animal footage :D
I enjoyed watching this, thank you.
Someone clean that water hole

Awesome job ,thanks for sharing. 👍
LOVE THIS VIDEO N YOUR BACKYARD.
SO COOL
Very Worthwhile footage. Saved to my large Arizona playlist, an organized video tour of most of the state, focused on Nature, placed in the Tucson section. Thank you for sharing it.
thank you for sharing the amazing view you enjoy. Seeing all the different animals was a treat
LMAO @ "Cheese and rice it's hot!" Clever. I loved that!
Your videos are awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks For posting this, really enjoyed it. Greetings from Texas.
I fell asleep listening to the sounds of ‘the watering hole’. Nice.
OMG that is the coolest thing ever ! I'm doing that this summer ♥️ I feed birds and deer...we can all help a fellow creature out it would be a better world.
Awesome to observe in the wildness -Thanks for the trail cam video Hooray!
It is said that we are all hard-wired to seek peace and tranquility. This video helps to take us to that place. Love it!
@The Richest Man In Babylon Wow! I had forgotten I posted this comment - it has been over two years ago. Anyway, thanks for the reminder and have a great day.
Interesting the Javalina sniffed out where the Bobcat had been before parking itself in the water on the opposite side of the pool. Thanks for the brief trip back to the Sonoran Desert that I miss so much.
You are a most kind soul!
Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing it with us. Beautiful work.
The jack rabbit and bobcat were really cool. Thanks for sharing.
Very busy little watering hole , could watch all day.!!😲
Thank you for providing WATER to wildlife. I also have a huge bowl of water for wild birds in front of my house here in Las Vegas.
This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing
May God bless the person who installed this pond !
