Does anyone know where I can get a good weatherproof, wireless, sound and motion shutter trigger?

While I don't know where to buy the trigger only, hunting supply stores sell all-in-one camera with motion detector sensors. These are designed to talk photos of deer as the walk by so you can see how big they are. They are called "scouting" cameras. www.cabelas.com

According to Joe McDonald's book, "The Complete Guide to Wildlife Photography", Woods Electronics, Inc.,14781 Pomerado Rd, Ste 197, Poway, CA 92064 sells the Shutterbeam which is for activation of a camera shutter and is apparently activated by either sound or motion.
If you get one let us know if it meets your requirements.

In addition to the Shutterbeam here is another device that is used: http://www.hoothollow.com/Question-May2002.html
I've owned a ShutterBeam from Wood's Electronics for about 6-7 years, but I just recently bought a Time Machine at http://www.bmumford.com/photo/camctlr.html
and it is a superior product that is also less expensive. You can see a couple of my bluebird flight photos on his website, under nature photography. They were taken the first time I used his product.
The product that Joe McDonald is now recommending (the Photo Trapper) is larger, bulkier, and much more expensive. I requested the instruction manual for the product and it was poorly written and confusing.
