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!"

    The Photogs probably got "the word out" too!

    Enjoyable, as always, Harry.

    Thanks Ric and the photographers do get the word out and sometimes they outnumber the birds.

    Those were with the D3 and D3s bodies and the 300mm f/4, the 200-400 f/4 and the 500mm f/4. On some of the captures the 1.4 TC and the 1.7 TC were used.

    Yes, when the click ponds are being drained the photographers come flying in also. Fortunately I'm retired so I miss the weekend circus.
