-- Drone Technology --

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

Don Scheifler has been using drones for awhile now aiding an Ivory-billed search effort in La.  He’s recently shared some of his work on FB. I’ll just link to a couple of his examples for now:

This one gives a good indication of the drone technology camera potential (the bird involved is of course a Pileated, but nice camera work):

…and this one is a wonderful demonstration showing thermal detection (bright dots on the left) of two creatures, which turn out to be (on the right) identifiable PIWOs:

Great work Don; thanks for sharing!

(If anyone has technical questions about the specs of Don's equipment or his technique send them to me and I'll pass along to him, if you are not able to contact him directly.)
