Ecological Monitoring at Idaho's Silver Creek Preserve

This time lapse video, composed of daily still photographs, shows a dry year in the life of The Nature Conservancy's Silver Creek Preserve near Picabo, Idaho. Climate variability and other factors raise concerns about elevated stream temperatures that stress fish and other aquatic life. The still photographs were taken by an automated camera installed by the USGS at the Silver Creek Preserve Visitor Center. (Time lapse video compilation courtesy The Nature Conservancy)
