Looncam Preparations Are Underway

Greetings from BRI's looncam bunker. The ice is rapidly retreating from many Maine lakes, and "eagle eyed" observers from our looncam lake have already reported seeing two loons on the water, including the returning, banded male. As of this writing, we're still awaiting confirmation that the banded female has returned.

We are extremely busy preparing all the equipment, and we have tentative plans to set the system up late next week. If all goes well, we should have the system live for internet viewing by mid-May at the latest.

As I did, last year, I will post a blog weekly at a minimum, with more frequent posts if and when we near a successful hatch. Once the system is installed, I will post another blog that will give a more accurate estimate of when we will go live.

More soon!
