I wanted a better place to put everything, so I figured right at the base of the tree was a good place - it’s closer to where the squirrels come down anyway, and it’s a nice convenient place for the mic, which I now have a new stand for (yet another thing to see if the squirrels mind being around)… I got out the old camera stand that I’ve used for older recordings (it’s basicially a piece of wood with a long tripod-sized screw and spikes to hammer into the ground) and slapped the $10 camera on that, just to give me an alternate “behind” angle - well, not only didn’t the squirrels mind the mic stand, they didn’t mind the other camera being there, as one kept standing on top of it to check things out! Eventually (towards the middle of the video), the squirrel on top of the camera kicks it to the left and screws the shot up — you got to love it when squirrels critique your shots… Of course, the new shot isn’t really that bad either, because you can wach the squirrels running down the tree after it moved.
