Re: [mou-net] FW: DNR proposal to prohibit lead shot on Wildlife Mgt Areas-- message from Carrol Henderson re. effects on MN birds

2015-12-07 Thread John Clouse
I advocate that the hunters who see copper bullets as a “government mandate” be 
required to use lead in their gasoline. They will set up separate dispensing 
stations for this purpose. And of course they will be responsible for changing 
components on their engines to deal with the effects of lead. Lead poisoning in 
their children will not be covered by health insurance.
Or, we could all grow up.

In one box I have the Hawkeye Nature Cam. I don’t recommend it because it is 
not of high quality but it is relatively cheap.
In the other box I have the Hawkeye High Definition Nature Cam. This gives me a 
clear picture.
The cameras have built-in infrared lamps which give enough light to illuminate 
the box while not disturbing the ducks.
Her is the link:

The camera comes with 100’ of cable which I plug into a small HDTV.

 John,
 What kind of cameras do you use in your boxes? How do you get enough light so 
 the cameras pick up enough detail? I mostly get Hooded Mergansers but 
 occasionally get Wood Ducks as well...I almost never see the ducklings though 
 and if I do, it is only for a couple of days. The mergansers hang with their 
 ducklings for a couple of weeks and then leave them on their own. I have 
 another wood duck box that is used by Kestrels...that would be an interesting 
 box to have a camera in as well. Thanks for any info you can provide.

 Our first batch of wood ducks is hatching today. Should jump tomorrow. 
 Another hen is still sitting on hers in the second box.
 I have video cameras in each box.

I have a regular grouping of 6-12 mourning doves at my feeders every day.
Is  this unusual?
I live in Shoreview, MN.
