Thanks - I'll look for it. I am joining a Whitefish Point Bird Observatory sponsored birding trip in the Sault Ste. Marie neighborhood this weekend. AFIK, the other 15 on the trip are birders (who may also take photographs) rather than photographers (who enjoy shooting birds). It will be interesting to see how the cultures mesh. Weather is predicted to be cold, 50% snow, wind gusts to 35 mph . . . should be invigorating!
