Janet Pesaturo

A Massachusetts native, Janet admired the flora and fauna of her suburban surrounds from an early age. A seventh grade teacher inspired her interest in life sciences, which she has pursued in a variety of ways over the past several decades. She has a Medical Degree, and practiced psychiatry for about 10 years before leaving to raise her children full-time. In 2004, she launched Animal Trackers of New England (formerly Nashaway Trackers), a group of wildlife enthusiasts who tracked for fun, and occasionally provided data to local conservation organizations. Soon thereafter, she began using trail cameras to learn about wildlife behavior. In 2013, she completed a master’s degree in Conservation Biology, and in 2014 she earned a Level III CyberTracker certificate. Janet has led many tracking walks, and has given several presentations on tracking and camera trapping. In 2018, her first book, Camera Trapping Guide: Tracks, Sign, and Behavior of Eastern Wildlife, was published. She currently authors this blog, Winterberry Wildlife.

Bob Zak

After 34 years building high speed networks for some of the world’s fastest computer systems, Bob has retired in 2020 to devote more time to “small engineering”, including camera trapping technology, which he has enjoyed as a hobby for years.  Bob is looking forward to understanding and improving the technology of trail cameras, and helping others to do the same.
