    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!"

    Hi Ric, nice shots here. Gee these birds are ugly, but nice to photograph just the same. See them, but never enough to get close enough to them.
    Regards - Dennis
