Sadly, the evidence does not justify the hype.
The age of everybody carrying billions of megapixels devices. People can't avoid being videotaped twenty times when buying bread, and all that we have to justify their grant is a blurred saucer hanging from a fish line.
- pluies 5y agoSure, cameras in todays smartphones are great and take beautiful pictures, but bird photography is pretty much their achille's heel - tiny fast-moving objects would require much better zooms, higher iso, and lower shutter lag than what's currently available with smartphones.

Trap cameras will register everything of that size in the area and can be set to register non stop for six months, so the excuse of "birds are afraid of us and fly" is not really solid. Some cheap trap cameras are just too shitty to be useful. They just need to keep trying. But not a single good photo still, after decades of people trying to find it, carries a strong suspicion of extinction.
