Eaglecam is a community project

Editor's note: Because Bob Anderson is the president of Raptor Resource, Inc., he gets a lot of attention.  But he pointed out again Tuesday night that the eaglecam is a Decorah community project.  So decorahnews.com is reposting an article from April 25th that mentions all the other people who help with the project:

Willard and MaryEllen Houlthaus and LaVonne Bjergum have provided permission for the bald eagle camera to be on their property and have been steadfast in their support--even when they had to put up with people staring at their house and some even trespassing on their property.

Jim Womeldorf and Dave Kester have also provided invaluable support. 

Kenny Phillips and Shanna Riha at Sims TV and Electronics have provided instant response when the eagle cam has a computer glitch and
Jim Sims and the entire gang at Sims for their support.  Says Bob Anderson, "We use a lot of various electronic equipment and, if they don't have they get it for me in short order.  These people should be given the Key to the City."

 
Amy Ries has been serving as the web master for Raptor Resource Project.  She wrote the script and ran the tests to send the live video/audio to Ustream.  Amy Ries, Dave Kester and Neil Rettig installed the cameras up in the nest tree.
