This video, posted May 11, 2012, was produced using clips captured on videotape many years ago.  It features the House Finch, one of many birds which used to call City Birds Country, the Heart of San Francisco, home.  Now the trees and most birds are gone, replaced by a rapidly growing number of highrise condo and apartment towers.  This short video shows the finches grooming, playing, eating, feeding their chicks and more.  Download the DivX video here.

This documentary is Part I of two videos featuring the Red-tailed Hawk.  This hawk is the largest raptor found in these parts.  This video illustrates a good day in the life of one of these beautiful birds.  Hunting for food, preparing and eating dinner, grooming and more are covered in this video.  Enjoy, also, Part II of this video below, and the slideshow of this hawk in our Featured Birds Section.  View or download the MP-4 video for your iPod or Quicktime player.

This documentary is Part II of two videos featuring the Red-tailed Hawk.  We tend to think of raptors as being on top of the world, free of enemies.  This is a misconception.  The Red-tailed Hawk was expecting a day as good as seen in Part I.  But such was not to be the case.  The hawk's day started out badly and went downhill from there.  These videos were first published July 27, 2006 by City Birds.  View or download the MP-4 video for your iPod or Quicktime player.

This short documentary focuses on the Sea Lions who live at Pier 39, Fishermen's Wharf, San Francisco.  It points out differences between Seals and Sea Lions.  Being less crowded, Winter is a great time for San Franciscans to get out, relax and enjoy their city.  The Sea Lions and birds were also delighted with the weather.  Enjoy the companion gallery pix of these Sea Lions in Photo Gallery 31.  View or download the MP-4 video for your iPod or Quicktime player.

This video was made from an old camcorder tape of a San Francisco street fair July 2001, weeks before 911.  Trying to stay focused on various subjects while dodging cables on the street, barricades & bicycles; all the while trying not to annoy other people, wasn't easy.  But it was fun.  The movie includes two songs you might enjoy.  View or download the MP-4 video for your iPod or Quicktime player.

Fleet Week in San Francisco has been an annual event for many years.  Although the U.S. Navy Blue Angels are the main attraction, each year other flying teams contribute to the airshows.  This video of the Fleet Week 2005 airshow also features the American Patriots Flying Team, the Canadian Air Force Snowbirds and more.  Enjoy the sights and sounds.  View or download the MP-4 video for your iPod or Quicktime player.

Wherever in the world we are, there are always things happening, some good, some bad.  Whichever, they are opportunities to take some video.  December 20, 2005, San Francisco enjoyed a scenic storm with rain, wind and waves.  The shore birds were having a great time and people were seen marveling at the sights and sounds.  Here's the storm video we put together.  See Gallery 29 for the storm pix.  View or download the MP-4 video for your iPod or Quicktime player.

February 2002, San Francisco marked the Chinese Lunar Year of the Horse with a great parade.  Occurring only five months after 911, the San Francisco Fire Department hosted heroes from the Fire Department of New York.  They were honored in the parade.  Here is a video made from a tape which was collecting dust until Flash 8 made it practical to put together a flick of parade highlights for you to see.  View or download the MP-4 video for your iPod or Quicktime player.
