    A Nikon N80 with a Quantaray (made by Sigma) 70-300mm f4-5.6 lens. A modest camera with a modest lens, shooting Superia Xtra 400.

    The bird was on a rail about seven feet from me. I got a steady stance, and shot.

    But at least I thought of you while in Myrtle Beach. And as you said, it's a start. I don't want you to think I've gone bird crazy. ;-)
