Geologist Nick Zentner, who host the series Nick on the Rocks, describes the geology of Steamboat Rock in this video. Zentner has also described nearby Dry Falls , and many other features of the Pacific NorthWest. Check out this video, and also read an article about a lecture he gave at the Grand Coulee Dam Visitor Center here.
Steve Erwin, the Crocodile Hunter; Gordon Eastman; Jacques Cousteau; Nora Jenn: these are the names of great wildlife videographers.
Jenn, who lives in Coulee Dam and used to work for the National Park Service as well as the Bureau of Reclamation, films some interesting videos of animal life in our area and posts them on YouTube for all to enjoy.
One video shows a coyote howling on the ice of Banks Lake, while another shows a close-up of a young bald eagle eating a fish. Eagles trying to catch coots, an eagle swooping down close to a coyote, a hawk eating a mouse – these are just some of the other videos Jenn has filmed.
