It was a great day at the backyard feeder. A young Oriole came by for a bath.
I managed to capture some great video and audio.

I went into the forest near my house with the Merlin Bird ID App, to see how many birds I could hear. It was a rainy day, but I was still surprised by the results.

I had heard a lot of online chatter about a large flock of chickens showing up at Capri Arena in South Windsor, so I went over to have a look. I was not disappointed. While I was there the Windsor Humane Society arrived and caught most of the chickens.
GI Joe Repair (Minor)

Hello, I was given a few 1980's GI Joe Action figures. A couple of them needed minor repairs, so I recorded the process. All you will need is a small screwdriver and an "O Ring" from plumbing section of your local hardware store.

Coyote Winter - Trail Camera Fence Experiment
Переглядів 1,3 тис.5 місяців тому
Over the winter, I've been using trail cameras to document coyotes and other animals passing over the Herb Gray Parkway Eco- crossing. The Eco-crossing is an amazing feat of engineering that joins wooded areas from the Spring Garden Forest to the Oakwood Bush. It gives wild animals a natural pathway to get over one of the busiest highways in North America.

I heard about the Semi Truck that ended up going down the pedestrian path all the way to the pedestrian bridge. I went down to the scene to try and figure out how it happened. I think I figured it out, talking to people nearby. what a crazy thing to happen.
The Detroit Lions VS The Cleveland Browns (1957 Championship Game)

Long lost footage taken from the stands during the 1957 Championship Game between the Detroit Lions and the Cleveland Browns. I found this footage in an old pile of film cans that was destined for the trash. Based on players and scores, I have concluded that this is from 1957 (The last Lions Championship game) I could be wrong in my guess, so please correct me if necessary. The game took place ...

Sneaking Peeking (1961) Swee'pea's birthday is here, with Popeye and Olive Oyl trying to stop Swee'pea from peeking into his birthday presents. Olive tells him a fable; something like Pandora's Box. Will Swee'pea learn? I found this 16mm film in an attic, I converted it to digital so I could share it on UA-cam.
The Godfather (Making of, 1971)

I found this film at an estate sale. A 16mm film that I converted to digital. I am looking to have it professionally scanned. I wanted to share it for fellow film buffs. The film was originally in colour, but it turned red over time, so I desaturated it to black and white. It is easier on the eyes.
What's Inside The Box?!?!? Episode 1

I would love to see them, so much!! 🖤🤘🖤
Thanks for the memories
My pleasure!
3:48 note Windsor made Cordoba. or was it a Dodge Magnum with a 318...or 343. did it have Corinthian leather?
Great vid! I really liked the drum soundtrack too.
What setting do you put the iron ? Low , high steam ? Thanks
Steam.
this guys bedroom is so cool i will now scour the earth for a comic rack like that one to put in mine
I wish I still had it! I took it from a convenience store that was remodeling.
what about face down in the sun ?
Great question.
Easy - Nick & Danny are the actual names behind the N&D supermarket name
Same problem I had aquarium poster . It should have been rolled in a tube !
Fantastic video. Very informative. Great job again. 👏👏👏🏆
Splash Splash I was taking a bath. Just love it Michael great capture. Thanks for sharing ❤
Love this!!
This is so awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure Geri!
Police call boxes are still active in San Francisco. In the last earthquake they continued to work while cell service was down.
Yes Sir Mr.Evans Great Video Thanks 😁for Sharing
Horse-drawn carts were also still seen up to the late 40's/early 50's on the lower east side of Manhattan.
That little two-lane tunnel between Windsor and Detroit is cute. Smallest cross-river tunnel I have ever driven through. Those chimneys weren't from heavy industry in downtown Detroit. They were probably from a power plant. Even Manhattan Island had that at the time.
I remember this fire like it was yesterday I find it interesting to look back at this years later. The thing I remember the most is me wanting to leave 😂
6.6.24 is the opening day for the old Detroit Train Depot!
Why are you using Ragtime or Prohibition era music for photos that were taken in the 1950s? That music was from the 1920s and 30s.
Lol 😆
Demographics sure were different
Dude awesome. Gonna do it right now
What a great video!!! Ive watched this a cpl times now, definitely a great video
Thank you! I think it is time to get back into the old jail.
I moved to the city in 1979, I though it was a great place to live,work. I left 7 years ago and have regretted it😢
That host on Teen Town was Bud Davies.
The lady next to Bill Kennedy could have been Judy Garland, maybe playing at the Elmwood, Stars on Bill's show were usually in town to entertain there and get publicity on Bill's show, Like Jimmy Durante.
Windsor is a big part of my blood, there are a few streets names after my family and one of my great grandfathers was a Bablo boat captain.
I wish they got a shot of the cedars 😢
Thanks for this video. Any specific location to share?
No problem. Sorry, nothing specific.
Another great upload.
Michael, I hope you come back on a good weather day to see what you can capture. This is great, just wonderful. I love the birds. I love listening to them and watching them. Thank you 🌞
I can't wait to get back out there and do another video. 🐦
That app is awesome 👌
Somebody reported seeing a red-headed woodpecker at Oakwood 2 weeks ago on ebird. So this might be legitimate. Keep your eyes peeled!
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
i am going to try this app here at my house.
I think you will like it.
FANTASTIC! I love the MERLIN bird app Michael, thanks for hipping me to it.
Absolutely wild to see the Veterans cenotaph not in it's downtown location by city hall!
An absolute necessity for all those posters that came with old video games and issues of Nintendo Power. Thank you for this quick tip!
This is an incredible time capsule. The way they talk, with that weird mix of Canadian and American accents is shown so well here. Thank you Michael for putting this priceless document of history here for all to see. These two ladies are about my moms age. I wonder if she knew them.
Saw my first one today. Been looking for them for two months. I was giddy! :)
They're so cool looking and fast!
I will never forget the water bottle hitting Timberlake on the top of his head and Jagger going all nuclear on the crowd, it was funny!!!! That didnt stop him getting water bottled though...
Isn’t there a neon sign on top on the ambassador bridge as well?
I would be very surprised if it is. 🤔 I'll ask next time I go over.
Saw them open for Chixdiggit in 1998 in WPG
Great memories , good building , special humans , I spent so much time there i can close my eyes and still smell it .
Did you ever try a double mud?
Holy crap, this is amazing. Im from Lansing, MI and we'd drive to Detroit, cross the ambassador and spend evenings partying in Windsor. We would always go to the Million Dollar Saloon and Cheetahs, but i remember that we'd end up at the Honest Lawyer every time. Didnt that place have a bowliing lane with pins on ropes?
Also, I distinctly remember an L shaped pool table.
Yes there was a bowling alley in there
I heard they used to hang people there
It is true
SO i guess it was around 1982 I moved back to Windsor just as the punk wave was on the decline, or was it? I was given a goalie mask and and a 3 string bass guitar to play with Olrac and the Cheesecakes. Stella put a case of beer in front of the stage and the rest is history...........
Fireball XL5!!!
Met him at an N.A. meeting once and he was looked down on by the other members.
This is fabulous! Thank you!
Thank you!
Do you have any pics of the sheeny man?
Thanks, Michael. We were at Lake Erie Country Club to watch the event. It was noticeably cooler when the sun disappeared.
