While checking remote camera traps in the mountains for a Refuge carnivore inventory, USFWS Volunteer Sam Waller found a displaced camera trap that was buried in mangled and downed timber caused from a massive winter avalanche. The camera was carried 86 yards away from its original placement and amazingly undamaged. Thanks for finding that camera for us, Sam! Photo by Cortez Rohr/USFWS
