We were able to diagnose the problem.  The camera and power supply were undamaged (good thing).  The problem is in some of the communication gear that gets the signal to the Internet, some of these connections were cooked by the power surge.  We will order these parts immedeately and will get things rolling again as soon as we can.

I just got clearance from the Elkins  Ecological Services Field Office to allow our tech go to the nesting tree.  Hopefully he can get things resolved.

The power spike yesterday apparently zapped the communication link between the camera and the link to the Internet.  NCTC folks are working to diagnose and fix ASAP, while ensuring there is no impact on the birds.
