Passing this along in case anyone else can benefit... Went to a local sports bar to watch the Thursday Night NFL contest and met a fellow who is an engineer with the local Ducks Unlimited.
One thing led to another in conversation and he gave me his card along with the offer to use a bird blind along the Platte River south of Grand Island for free. He says that it is hardly ever used and only about 1/4 mile schlep from parking. I just need to email or call him to make a "reservation". So I'm stoked about that. My sister, who is a much more accomplished bird photographer than I am, will probably also welcome the news. So looking forward to seeing what we can get from this fall's migration, which is just underway. Hasn't even been a frost here yet, but that should change in coming weeks. I'm mentioning it in case any other PDMLers are interested. Contact your local conservation organization (like Ducks Unlimited) and inquire about blinds for photography. You may find that similar sites are available in your area, for the asking! I'm stoked! -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
