More Salton Sea photos
Just to keep up the interest in the Salton Sea shoot, here are a few more photos to show you what is there.
1. Avocets. Photo taken over the mudflats about a mile north of the National Wildlife Refuge headquarters.
2. Cranes, cropped. These birds are very wary of people.
3. More cropped cranes. It is hard to get close to them.
4. It's easiest to get close to the snow geese when they are flying over your head.
5. In case you have only visited the west shore, or read the magazine articles, the landscape is not all derelict house trailers and abandoned townsites.

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!"

Harry, that's cold. To get these crane pictures, I drove four hours, got bites by things my dermatologist can't recognize, and you say these birds hang out in your yard. And you got eagles down the street, egrets nesting at the end of the block, and caracaras cleaning up your neighborhood. I have to shoot with a 600mm equivalent and crop on top of that. You shoot with an 11 to 18 mm wide angle, and still have to back up to get the whole bird in the frame. Is that fair?
