New webcam for lakes region bird watchers

trfour: Where was that sequence shot? That's hilarious.

Years ago, while backpacking in the Great Smokies with friends, I had a couple of very tenacious bears pull a similar stunt with our supposedly bear-proofed food. As we always did in bear country, we strung out food way up between two trees in a mesh hammock. That night, the bears kept coming and one eventually climbed the tree, hung on the rope suspending the hammock and broke it -- crashing to the ground and making off with the hammock. The next day, we recovered two of the three bags that he'd taken off with.

He'd also absconded with one of my friends' backpacks, which we found discarded in the brush. He's torn a pocket off the side and bitten through the metal body of an SLR camera. I have some photos of the mess and will post.

When they're determined, they are hard to stop!

Okay, I am now returning this thread to the subject at hand sorry for hijacking. I love the bird feeder cam.
