-- Video Re-run --

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

I already linked previously to this slowed, frame-by-frame, annotated version of one of Proj. Principalis's drone videos (added: showing 2 birds at one point) that Paul Fischer posted on FB, but will link to its YouTube posting as well (...since I'm a little surprised at how few views it's had on YouTube)... and it can also be enlarged to full-screen:

[Fischer did not take this video himself, but simply worked with it.]

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

Addendum:

A complete sidenote: since writing last Sunday’s trip-down-memory lane post I’ve been looking up a few other folks who have dropped from the IBWO scene over the years, and the one person I can’t find any updates on is Mary Scott. Mary ran one of the largest, most popular birding sites on the Web, “BirdingAmerica” (now defunct) back in the day, and essentially broke the whole Big Woods Arkansas IBWO story before even Cornell had a chance to announce it, but then eventually disappeared into the ether... So just curious if anyone knows if Mary is still around and if so what’s she up to?

(...no one has responded to this, so I'll add that my own vague memory is that Mary had retired to Arizona, or perhaps New Mexico, and was occasionally leading local birding outings, and avoiding the IBWO debate, but that was over a dozen years ago?)
