have any series of photos taken by false triggers such as light changes, temperature changes,
waving branches, etc. If those photos number in the hundreds/thousands, do not place those
photos in dropbox.
4) Transfer all photos, for any species recorded in your dropbox folders for each respective camera.
Include a note in each camera folder (via word document, etc) for any instances of runaway photo
taking from false triggers
5) There will also be a folder named “General Photos” in your site photo for any relevant photos you
take with your own digital camera of the site/route to site/wildlife tracks sign, etc.

Example “Mt. Rainier site visit 8_30_12”
Label individual photos as best you can prior to uploading into the folder and include a word
document with additional details such as GPS coordinates of specific photos and route
descriptions, etc
