A Wild Year: Banff National Park

The kids and I have previously set up a web camera to take pictures of the raccoons investigating our compost bin at night, but that's nothing compared to what the staff at Banff National Park in Canada has done. Parks Canada set up a wildlife camera and collected photos for a full year and then assembled the results into a 4-minute video. According to the blurb:

12 months. Four seasons. One revolution of the sun.

That's how long Banff National Park's remote wildlife camera project has been going and to celebrate, we've assembled a year's worth of images from one single location into a short Wild Images video timelapse.

Have a look -- you'll be amazed by how much goes on. And it all happened a short two-and-a-half-hour stroll from the hustle and bustle of downtown Banff!

And of course, there's the video for you to enjoy:

While you're at it, Parks Canada has a lot of other great videos up on their YouTube channel...
