After several years of use, both of the cameras I have used to capture birds (and other critters) at the water feature have finally stopped working altogether. I have been nursing them along the last couple years and as the cameras (Wingscapes Birdcam Pros) are no longer made I have been on the lookout for a replacement. I have now installed a new camera and it has been capturing stuff right from the start, including a couple warbler species so far. I will mess around a little with the exact location of the camera to try to get good, clear shots and not miss any action. Fingers crossed it will capture some good warblers this coming fall.
Although the tropical activity in the Atlantic has been nearly non existent the Pacific Ocean has been active and the big storm right now is Category 4 Hillary which is forecast to actually make a rare impact on southern California (as a tropical storm). The storm is currently near Socorro Island well off the coast of Baja California with 145 MPH winds that are certainly making a heavy impact on the small island. There is a subspecies of Tropical Parula there that may be upgraded to a full species (Socorro Parula)...hopefully it pulls through.
