Hi --

Thanks for the bird report -- we will take what we can get, reports AND
birds! <gr>

As to the digiscoping talk, it was actually on Wednesday but having said
that, a great turnout. Lots of interesting tips that I would not have known
-- such as, best if the lens does not move in & out while zooming (some do,
some don't).

The speaker, Doug Bolt, has a web site on which he summarizes much of this
information and also gives links to other sites with even MORE information!

His site: www.BoltAssociates.com

Good birding and digiscoping!
