Hello! I am a Master's student at the University of Arkansas, and in a few weeks I'll be looking for grassland bird nests to monitor. It has been difficult to receive funding, so I am asking all of you if you have or know someone who has nest surveillance camera equipment I can borrow for the summer seasons of 2017 and 2018. I have a little bit of money so we may be able to work something out there. Ideally, I'd want a self-contained system where a DVR is NOT required. In other words, the memory card (~128 GB) should fit right into the camera itself instead of using a separate unit. Ability to record good images (e.g. 4 MP or 1440p HD) day and night is preferred. It should be able to hold marine batteries 12V (or more) 24-amp/hr. So if you have any of the following items (details outlined above) that you are willing to lend out for the duration of my study, please contact me: -cameras -SD memory cards -battery chargers (batteries themselves would be difficult/too heavy to mail) Thank you!

Hi Everyone, Is there a forum/website/etc where people are selling or donating their used bird-related field equipment (e.g. mist-nets, poles, banding pliers, etc.)? I have bought a lot of equipment out-of-pocket over the years, but I'm faced with a larger purchase of equipment for the upcoming field season. I think a lot of people can relate to this problem after using their PhD lab's equipment for many years and then moving on to a non-bird lab for their post doc or starting their own research program. My colleague Kiyoko and I are attempting to crowdfund to cover some equipment costs (https://www.instrumentl.com/campaigns/urbanization-and-galapagos-birds/) but most of the money raised will probably just cover travel. Thanks for any insight! Sarah
