Quiet vs. noisy

Sounds like a Sesame Street segment but it’s actually two quick videos I made. The first one shows a section of the Hudson River on Saturday. You might think it’s a still photo of the ice-clogged river. There is hardly any sound. But if you look close at almost the middle of the frame, you can see the ice and water moving.
Here’s a story about the U.S. Coast Guard’s effort to keep the river open.
The other video is from early December – hence the lack of snow on the ground. Crows regularly gather in the late fall and winter in the field across the road. I came home one Saturday afternoon to find them extra noisy. Turns out they were a bit unhappy with a red-tailed hawk that just caught a crow. If you look close, the hawk is sitting on the crow at the bottom of the screen. The soon-to-be-dead crow flaps a few times. For more about crow behavior, go here.
