    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Wow! There is no way to pick a favorite. They are all excellent; great detail, clean perches, fantastic backgrounds, sharpness...all great!

    Audobon wishes they could publish a book of such quality. Nicely done. But the turkey made me laugh. It was such a shock to scroll down and have it pop up on the screen after all the little guys.
