It is no secret that we share the Hudson Valley with some amazing wildlife. Who needs Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom when we have Wildlife Cameras set up all over the Hudson Valley?

Most of what you see online are homeowners capturing something on a ring camera or a critter cam they set up at night in their yard. Recently a Neighbor of the Black Rock Forest in Cornwall, New York shared two videos they had taken with a more professional setup.
