While visiting family in Pennsylvania in 2013, Robert Bush Sr. set up hidden cameras all around the property in an attempt to get a peek of the local wildlife as they went about their regular routines.
In an interview with The Dodo, Bush said that he and his father were both « busy and outdoorsmen » when they began making camera traps.
When I was a kid, my teacher taught me something really valuable.
Bush has seen a lot of great photo opportunities over the years, but his personal favorite is a fallen log in the middle of a river.
It seems that a variety of creatures use the log as a means of crossing the river, and Bush has captured them all.
Every kind of animal has used the plank to cross the river, from ducks to otters. as well as everything in between
Bush can tell a lot of interesting tales about the creatures he’s snagged thanks to the falling wood.
Bush claims that wildlife often traverses the log.
A chipmunk was almost eaten by a great blue heron that was perched on a log.
The log is a hotbed of animal encounters since they’re all attempting to cross, and it’s been demonstrated to be the perfect place to film otherwise overlooked events..
In his reminiscences, Bush said it was « just another amazing catch. »
The footage Bush captures of these animals in their native habitats shows us how beautiful nature can be.
