For those of you who have been following some of the recent developments in 
mirrorless cameras, I can report that the Sony alpha 1's bird eye AF (BEAF) 
works quite well.  Warblers are among the jumpiest of birds and the camera's 
BEAF had very little trouble keeping the focus on the bird's eye, even when 
the bird was partially obscured by foreground foliage.  The only problems it 
had were when the bird took and extended bath with much splashing.
