Osprey Cam Upgrades

The Friends of Salt Point coordinates video camera streaming the nesting antics of two resident ospreys at Salt Point Natural Area in Lansing, NY. The webcam was powered by a newer battery, but during longer cloudy stretches, the battery was depleting faster than the old, solitary 85-watt solar module could charge it.

Sungineer Solar donated a few solar modules and custom fabricated a DIY racking solution to mount them.

And now, we can all enjoy watching Orpheus and Ursula raise their chicks!
