MAGNETORECEPTION Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

wvcachers3: After 436 finds/142 fav points I was notified that the magnetic lock on the birdhouse was forced open making it simply a birdhouse cache with no magnetic mechanism. Thanks to whoever ruined the fun and my hope in mankind that a cache page that literally spells out the exact method of opening the cache still effed it up. Archiving. Glad 435 or so of you were smart enough to figure it out.

Geocache Description:


Magnetoreception  is a phenomenon found in birds that allows them to sense the earth's magnetic field.

The sense is linked to a special protein in their eyes, beak and ethmoid bones. Birds use the magnetic field's direction and inclination to orient themselves, particularly during long-distance migrations.

The object of this cache is to locate the WV STATE BIRD perched nearby, migrate this bird to the birdhouse and to use the similar properties mentioned above to gain access to the logbook found within the birdhouse.  

To get the cache open it is a gentle touch. No forcing anything please. Rehide bird as found
