Just got off the phone with Alex - everything looked OK to me - did anyone else see anything he should check?

He's going to look for fishline next.

Alex is reporting that squirrels have been nibbling on some wires - they are OK but he's getting David to send up some electrical tape to add protection to those areas. They are on the back side of the tree from the North cam perspective, so we put it on the list to check them next year.

Added - the presets aren't working as expected - will need to recalibrate the cam and check them sometime later.

Behind the tree, taping the wires.

Hello SF friends! Fancy seeing humans in the Nest :D
I have found that watching Eagles in Nature is the best and most addictive show on Earth - CC

Anything else?

He noticed a bit of spider web so will remove the dome for a bit more cleaning.


Using plastic to hold the dome while he removes it.
