Marj -Thank you so much for the insightful comments. It's these type of comments that help improve my skills I appreciate the time you spent. Yes, the shot near the beginning of the dry creek bed was done with a tripod mounted dolly (it takes a bit of practice but I'm getting better). I like you idea for closing the video.

Mat - Thank you also for the time you spent. I certainly some weak shots. I need more practice to be able to setup quickly and correctly. I had a rough time this round coming up with a cohesive story. I keep trying to put together a story and shot list before I start. I had some ideas this round, but could not find the shots I needed. Maybe next time (-:

Rich,
Much is already said about your film. I think you have an amount of sharp and fine macro shots.
The woodpecker is very good. The music fits well to the video.
I should like to have the movable screen on my T2i.
