[LM_NET] Another animal cameral for your viewing pleasure

[Mary Ludwick <ludwick@SWBELL.NET>]

The squirrel nest webcam is designed to give a close-up view of the inside
of a squirrel nest. This nest is located in a kestrel box mounted some 20
feet up in a silver maple tree in a suburban back yard. The camera is
mounted inside a piece of PVC tubing that is fitted into the roof of the
Kestrel Box. An array of holes covered with squares of frosted plastic
supply diffuse lighting to the interior of the nest. Nearby are a number of
mature trees that produce an array of seeds, nuts, acorns, pinecones, and
buds that provide food attractive to squirrels. Nearby birdfeeders supply an
added attraction. The squirrelcam is now live. Nighttime illumination is
provided by several deep red light emitting diodes mounted in the camera
housing to one side of the lens.
