This past June, the usual crew assembled in order to help the Codger with pre-sets for the Camera Trap Workshop at SFSU Field Campus. Some of the adventures and outcomes have been documented already.
Here we will get a momentary glimpse from the forest, just below the legendary Deadman talus slope.
The result was our target species: a black bear came ambling through to investigate the foul smelling mess that the Codger had left 6 days earlier.
What followed was also somewhat expected, although we were hoping it would not occur...
The camera was then left pointing at the ground to fill up the SD card with glorious forest floor video.
This was my first bear on trap, and with recent news that the MARIN BEAR might be real, maybe others will soon follow...
You guys keep it up with this stink stuff and soon we will all have to put our cams in bear-proof canisters. This year I went up to Deadman Lake with a SFSU field campus writing class and although still steep it was waaaay easier than the way the Codg took us up the year before.
ReplyDeleteHa! I have been thinking about some sort of sweat lodge for our cameras... they have certainly been retaining a little bit o' funk.
