Swamp
@swampvids.bsky.social
A sentient swamp is here to chill you out with original nature videos, field recordings, and photography.
There might also be some absurdist dark humor thrown in, as one should expect from a swamp.

In case you don't know, oysters are a foot wide.
Terribly sorry but the swamp wishes to spread its death and decay around as far as it can manage, which means mushroom foragers are banished.
Would you like to know what this spot looked like one year later? ⬇️

It's another wood thrush! Wah so cute! (Don't tell them that though, it embarrasses them.)

Here’s one for #FungiFriends. Haven’t really investigated what these are but Pholiota is a guess.

These might be the extreme opposite and not what you seek, but following them around seems to always lead to something exciting.

Thought this recording had been lost! From April, a blue-headed vireo sings his first song of the spring. 🪶

The swamp holds many mysterious powers, a small handful of which are actually useful, such as the ability to force the males to quiet down so we can hear the ladies speak.
The female brown thrasher has an important message to deliver.
"Cheer up," she says.

Extra SwampVid again this week! Grab your coat, we’re going for a stroll to the swamp. It’s just down the slope from the snag. Look for an unkempt clearing with a bunch of dead trees strewn about. There’s snow everywhere and the birds are having a blast. #naturevideos #snow 🪶

The hasty little skunk cabbages have been promptly sent back to their graves where they belong.
Until next month anyway. #naturesky #blizzard

Sorry so late, again. It’s from editing.

Oh good, the “check out how many revisions this insane swamp made in one day to its profile that hadn’t been updated in a year” public shaming labels have expired. If you need a bot checker, try using your head. It’s available at all times and very easy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ok, cooling off now. Check this out.

Please have a look at some of the cutest vintage-looking flowers you'll ever see. New England's native witch hazel, Hamamelis virginiana.
An early bloomer? No, the complete opposite. The flowers bloom in late fall, and are STILL hanging around in January. #bloomscrolling #nativeplants ⬇️
