Unidentified white spot
In the May 16 video from the Greenstone Ridge, a small white spot appears around 0:22, first on a rock to the right of and below center, and then shortly moves off the rock. It is there still.
Here's one right before it appeared.
Here's the first frame in which it appeared.
And here's the first frame when it moved off the rock.
The second photo seems to indicate the presence of a creature sharing the rock with a white spot. There is not enough detail suggest what the creature is nor what the white spot is.
Now that I've shared this with you, I can move on to other things.

Re: Unidentified white spot
My guess is critter, carrying something white and dropped it there. Maybe a weasel or marten.

Re: Unidentified white spot
Rich, thanks for checking it out - cool to see the process at work, of connecting people and investigating via forums. Uncool that someone didn't pack out their TP.

Re: Unidentified white spot
The webcam caught a small animal (pine marten or squirrel maybe) carrying white object, stopping on rock, then jumping off rock and dropping white object. Presumably the critter picked up the tp from where some hiker left it nearby.

Re: Unidentified white spot
Thank you for satisfying my curiosity!
Maybe! I don't see sufficient evidence for positive identification of any creature, so I don't rule out human.
