Birders are odd

[nzmacro]

15 or so years ago I took a boat ride out of Ventura to the channel islands nwr. A load of birders, as there is a jay that lives no where else, were my companions and their life lists....Any way it drizzled the whole day and I went hiking. They got ready to leave and sent the park ranger to find me. Never saw the jay or the wild sheep but did see some grey whales. In short, good bird photography is done by good photographers. Bait them in to a set and use low power flash that doesn't scare them.

II don't know why some people think birders are odd.

This guy is using binoculars to view a bird................................from 10 feet.

We all know Birds of a Feather Flock Together.

I never realized how much birders imitate law enforcement.

This is my kind of bird watcher.

Well I just found out how you do it Bill, nice sets and a large flash unit and bait them !!

So what size flash unit do I need for Spoonbills flying at 300 feet and what set would you use ?? I could wave them in with a dead great white shark I guess, yeah that might work.

All the best Bill, I'm off to buy a large flash unit mounted on the back of a truck and a large fishing boat.
