0 Spectate Swamp Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 See what you can do with unedited video. I never get behind on my editing, I don't do any. No advertisements, or sound tracks added. This Hooded Crow is a first in North America and has the birders watching. http://www.dropshots.com/spectateswamp search out "hooded crow" "whitecourt" and you will see what is going on with digital video.
