Camera Trap Field Guide

Camera traps are remotely activated cameras that take pictures when either their motion sensor, infrared sensor or light beam detects an object in its view. Camera trapping is a method for capturing wild animals in a digital image when researchers are not present. The Okaloosa S.C.I.E.N.C.E. project is using camera traps to find out what large animals might be found in 3 or 4 different habitats throughout Okaloosa County, FL. This is a Collection of some of the expected animals students will find. Students will upload their camera trap images to the upcoming eMammal website. Stay tuned! less ↑
