Condor feeding!
This image is part of a ~1.6MB video
provided by wildlife biologist Jim Petterson of the NPS Pinnacles
National Monument, which, in cooperation with the Institute for
Wildlife Studies, has deployed PTZ cameras connected through a
wireless network. The development of this network was aided by a
technology transfer
workshop and allows biologists to monitor feeding activities
of California condors on a continuous basis. A second ~5,9MB video
provides more details and also shows bird interactions.
