Camera traps

We went out to the swamp last sunday and picked up our 2 cameras near where we heard the possible IBWO. I don't have much to say about this trip other than we found a patch of bamboo (cane). Cane is the main nesting material of the Bachman's Warbler-which is thought to be extinct.

We do have some great animal pictures, including a Pileated Woodpecker. we had 1700 pictures on each camera, which took over an hour each to go over. I posted the most interesting pictures below.

We learned a few things about our camera traps. 1-We can deploy them for a long period. 2-"Landscape" shots are a good option for searching for the IBWO, as indicated by the Pileated picture. And 3- If swamp monsters exist, they're avoiding our camera traps! :)
