    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!"

    Yeah, you have to get there early and let them come to you. The ones by me are so skittish....that's the only way. Good luck.

    You know how to fix that problem, don't you?

    I'll give you a hint: Herons don't just like fish. They like GOPHERS too!

    No, I just think getting up early would be easier. :D

    After 3 FULL cups of coffee, that is.
