From July 2023 to July 2024, we used three BlazeVideo cameras, which took time-stamped images every ten minutes. In July 2024 we replaced the BlazeVideo cameras with three Browning trail cameras. From July 2024 to November 2024 the Browning cameras took images every ten minutes. Browning cameras compile all images taken within a 24 hr period and generate time-lapse videos, which are included in this data release. The cameras are labeled GF31, GF32, and GF33. We kept the camera labels the same when we changed from BlazeVideo to Browning because the location of the cameras remained the same. The imagery component also includes camera metadata, such as the camera’s height above the ground surface, the tilt angle relative to the horizontal (look angle), the compass direction the camera was facing (azimuth), and any adjustments made or observational notes.
