Camera Trapping on the BRP: Adventures with Bears and Birds
by Tom Davis
Tom has used trail cameras on the Blue Ridge Parkway for over 17 years to monitor and assess wildlife distribution along the 469-mile scenic road. For the past 10 years he has been monitoring stations to assess black bear (and other wildlife) behavior including use of natural and artificial water. This talk will highlight wildlife and birds “captured” by Parkway cameras over the past 10 years. Tom has worked as a biologist on the Parkway for over 30 years. He is an avid birder and photographer.
