This is a longer form of the hiking trail in Temiskaming Shores, northern Ontario.

If I'm not mistaken, you reported from about the same region before, perhaps even last year. What repeatedly draws you to Lake Tamiskaming, so far away? No, wait, don't answer that cuz I may not be able to handle it. I think its a good idea to return to a site often and really get to know it intimately because it makes for more meaningful reporting. I just never expected anyone would ever be going that far. While watching your video; which is unfortunately hosted by Youtube, a concern with a questionable business model, I am reminded of the completely different set of skills that are called upon to make a video compared to still photography. There is so much to consider. Was this video captured on a smartphone, or an actual DSLR with W/A lens? Was the steady-CAM just conventional image stabilization, or a separate harness? Have you ever considered deploying a drone camera to go where you dare not venture? I ask so many questions because I am profoundly ignorant about videography. Lighting doesn't appear to play as crucial a role in video as it does with still images. I guess you will be off looking for autumn colour soon ... can't wait. Imagine if you accidentally captured a crime being committed and were on the run from the perpetrators. Wow, it could be a full length feature, brought to us in the latest CharlinoVision. I have some ideas for the trailer.

Hahaha, Mr. SS, are you focusing your scope/microscope on too many details?? That's worrisome! ;)
This video was shot with an older GoPro.
I did bring a mirrorless with me and had shot many images and clips with it too. Sadly, I lost the SD card. I wonder why my head is still on my shoulders. Must be due to my advanced age and declining health.

Pete's Dam is a lovely trail. I have been regularly going to the New Liskeard area (where Pete's Dam is) for work for many years. There are a number of good trails. During spring migration, there's lots of birds (particularly warblers) to see as the leaves haven't come in yet. There's another trail that goes to Devil's Rock, where I have seen peregrine falcons (likely nesting on the cliffs). And it is easier to see more northern species, including evening grosbeaks, redpolls.
I also usually see moose every year. Most recently I saw a mother black bear and cub crossing the road, just outside of town.

Thanks for sharing the info!
Yes, I saw some warblers in Pete's Dam Park, even though it was the end of September.
Last year, I saw some raptors over the lake from Devil's Rock.
Pity that I can no longer bring my telephoto lens to hike, so I did not photograph many birds. i managed to get one photo of a northern flicker in Cobalt last fall.
