The West and East Bear Brook Watersheds are on the southeastern slope of Lead Mountain which is the summit to the left in this photo.  This nearby parking area is the takeoff point for the helicopter.  From here the helicopter launches for treatment runs, and appears as a small white speck over West Bear as it treats the watershed in the video.
