How to 'Capture' Wildlife

We recently had a couple of graduate students approach us about setting up wildlife cameras on Providence Prairie to film the various types of fauna that are found here. They are assisting a PhD on this project that will last four weeks.

We were happy to oblige, especially when they said that we would receive copies of the pictures. We know that a large variety of wildlife can be spotted here and are excited to see what we get on film!

It was a snowy morning that they arrived with their equipment. Mark and Amanda assisted them as they walked all over the farmstead. They were intrigued with our homestead and its old time flair as well as the variety of farm animals. They worked quickly to get their task accomplished.

Sardine lures, pheromones, and other materials were used in their set-ups to 'capture' whatever curious critter may wander past.
