SUNDAY, JUNE 3, 2018

All Cams are down

UpDate from Saturday , June 2, 2018 with thanks to Bel-a- Donna


Saturday - June 2, 2018

(109 days old) Ground Report per Lori Murphy: "B10 was in the top of the tree by the branch buddies box nicknamed the studio at around 8 AM. By the time I got out of my car and got my camera gear but before I was set, she took off in the direction of the welcome center and proceeded to circle around behind the nest come back over approach cam pole and then circle two more times before landing in the pine tree nicknamed the black hole because lighting is always bad on that perch. She stayed there until I left the area about 915 to go look for fawns before heading to Dr C's lecture at Oak Hill. I drove back through a couple of times early afternoon but didn't see her before coming home."
