As the late-night crew on “owl patrol” no doubt noticed, the camera went down last night. Here’s a brief update I received via email from Bryce:
Hi John,
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed yet but CONE has been experiencing some issues tonight. In particular our camera connection seems to be dropping constantly. Unfortunately it’s too late in the night to get in touch with anyone in Texas, but we will start repair work first thing in the morning. Sorry about the current situation – please rest assured we are working as hard as possible to get CONE back up!
In the meantime, I’ve been clicking around at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Birding in Texas sites. Some neat information is available, including a Quick Reference Guide to Texas Hummingbirds (PDF file).
Update: The camera is back up! Hooray!
I got off work early and sat down for a late night of owl watching and no camera. It was depressing but I had a nice talk with vanilla and I got some projects done. glad it’s back up!
