The cameras ran for nearly 6 months and we got over 12,000 images. I am still going through the images, but I have a few uploaded here:

Even the lowlifes from the darkside were able to sponsor a camera , bunch of tightwads around here.
Could be some people don’t crave attention others do. Could also be some people don’t have the disposable income others have. You really are a piece of work.
By the way porkpi, that is a really cool project. Getting to visit Costa Rica one day is on my bucket list.
“Apathy is the Glove into Which Evil Slips It’s Hand”, but really, who cares?
Here is our latest update:
Our project is nearly four years old. We are part of an app called INSTANT WILD run by the zoological society of London. We are the only project using wireless trail cameras in all of Costa Rica.
We recently got a cougar at a nearby trapping location.
See it and other neat animals in our blog.

And here is a short video of the goofy animals we have encountered over the past year or two.

Thanks–PM sent.

Here is the cougar image that we got in January.
Remember it is from Costa Rica. There are none here in S.C. tan, brown, or black. Lot of rumors, but no pictures or droppings from S.C. cats.

Here is our latest and greatest video from Costa Rica… lots of cats!

is the Russ Broward Memorial Cam still functioning? thanks for posting
The camera itself is not. It succumbed to the rain and humidity…maybe the ants as did all the original cameras. The RussB Cam was an old Moultrie still camera that took a lot of wonderful photos as you can see here in case you and other Pelagic Navigators missed it… https://youtu.be/ABncCcxftgg

The video goes really fast, but you can slow it down on youtube in the gear icon.
However, it is still with us in spirit, as are all of our cameras are… There is a wireless camera near it’s spot that transmits animal images to London and around the world through a wildlife ap called Instant Wild.
The original project is alive and well and should be for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for asking
Really appreciate that porkpi
Russ was a good friend to many here. Gentle soul and good outdoorsman
