The Pippin Camera
The Pippin camera was the final sponsored camera. The contribution for Pippin pushed our fundraising project over the top. It is a white flash day/night color camera. Although it has daytime video capability, we opted to keep it in photo mode for the duration of its term.
Pippin cam took 540 photos and lasted from July, 22 to October 27. This camera was moved near the end of our stay in July to a trail near the Mono Precioso camera. It bordered lowland pasture and was at the base of the mountain.
Looking out, there is pasture beyond the lens and on the camera's right. To the left and behind the camera is a gradual to steep incline up 200 meters.

Update: March 14, 2014: The sponsor of this camera passed away yesterday at the age of 90. Libby was a natural history enthusiast who was active in Audubon societies where ever she lived. She worked with researcher John C. Lilly at his dolphin communications lab in Miami in the 1960's. She also wrote several books on natural history.
Thanks, Libby, for supporting our project!
