Bless you, sir! "Be aware of noise you or your equipment make: camera shutter noise can diminish the experience for non-photographers. Flash can not only scare a bird away, but diminish the experience for non-photographers trying to see a species for the first time. I'm not saying flash or cameras are bad, just that we should be aware of others and be judicious.Ken Archambault, Birmingham, Alabama" ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
