game camera photos use?

Can I report animals seen on my site from photos taken by my game camera?

[Erin Posthumus]

Hi Ann, 

Yes, you can use photos from game cameras to report animals at your site. You wouldn't be able to answer all of the questions on the datasheet about behavior, but you could record the phenophases like adults or juveniles. 

I would recommend adding some info to the metadata about your site (on the Edit Site page) to describe your site size as whatever area you can see in the image. You can also put a comment on your observation that you recorded the animal via a game camera. 

Thanks!

Erin
