Best Camera Trap Photos – August 2017

My camera trap research continues for the 3 Rivers Foundation at the Comanche Springs Astronomy Campus, as my position has moved to a part-time Director of Education and Wildlife Biologist. I’m grateful for this opportunity to teach and continue this research.

I’ve employed new Reconyx cameras onsite and will continue to use Browning Strike Force cameras as well. The Browning cameras have held up well considering some of them have been in place for two years of research.

I’ll continue to share the best camera trap captures from this research on this 700-acre campus. These images are selected to show here are based on the animal behavior captured, as well as the uniqueness of the capture.

Enjoy!
