it's spring. they are busier and noisier this time of year. this is when i 
make a special effort to go out specifically for bird photos. carried the 
Gitzo 1327 and 1321 leveling base with Wimberley head and the A* 400/2.8 
over a mile each way specifically to get a peregrine falcon shot. it was 
still too far away. no easy way to get closer, even with the park ranger's 
assistance.

You laugh, as one who knows.  I hadn't really ever shot birds much,
but lately, there seem to be more opportunities.  For those, no matter
what glass I have, it is never long enough.  Of course, then I'll have
to start carrying a monopod and finally a tripod with appropriate
head.  So much for a morning walk...<grin>
