-- ACONE System Detailed --

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For engineer and tinkerer-types, a journal article (pdf) HERE explaining the ACONE digital camera system and its successful deployment in the Arkansas Big Woods (though it hasn't captured an IBWO image). Early on, the article mentions that the system will be "active for at least another year," but I suspect this piece was published in 2008 (not sure when?) and that its use may now be over??? --- if anyone knows for sure the current status of the system in the Big Woods, or any other updates, feel free to let us know...

In other news, Scott Crocker's independent "Ghost Bird" documentary will have its U.S. debut at the Maine International Film Festival in Waterville, Maine, July 10-19.
The movie also recently won a $10,000 grant to be used toward further "innovative environmental outreach" of the film.
