Hi guys.
I got together with a group of Mn photographers again. This time we went
to Monticello Mn. to see the Trumpeter Swans. The swans were there by
the hundreds. If you couldn't get a BIF, you're in trouble.

I was able to use a Canon 400 F5.6 for a while, what a sweet lens.
Most photos were taken with a Canon 70-300is wide open, another sweet
lens.

Every day, this gal comes out to feed the swans.

    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!"
