I always go to the same place for my vacation, my Dad's place in southern Oregon. He owns a farm with up there with about 15 acres of land.

I have been going up there since it belonged to his father and I was about 5. When I retire (soon I hope) I will be moving up there also.

This year I spent some mad money and bought myself a drone with a 1080 camera built in. It's not a professional model and I am not yet real smooth operating it but this video will give you an idea of why I love it up there.

No Audio so don't turn up your sound. This video starts out from his deck and is facing North.

Because of the reflection off of the two large windows he gets the occasional bird strike. Once he had a Sulfur Crested Cockatoo that stunned itself hitting the glass. He gave it back to (hopefully the owner) a young girl with downs syndrome and her father. So at least that had a happy ending.

I have a video of my Mom's place also but I have not edited or uploaded it to Youtube yet. My Mom's place is only about 10 miles away but her place is more remote and she has all kinds of wildlife that comes by. Lots of deer (because she feeds them even though I have heard it's against the law).
Also lots of Crows and a few Bluejay's (really beautiful birds).

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Nice video, Wes. Looks like a really peaceful area, should be a nice place for retirement!
