Thanks, Christian. I did find out that they are not very approachable - I was shooting with a 400mm on a DSLR. I think the only thing I had going for me was that they were up the hill from me so it wasn't as easy to see me coming.
I can say that watching them move through the viewfinder, they seemed much more like dinosaurs than birds to me. -- Bruce Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 7:43:31 AM, you wrote: C> Nice shot Bruce.
