Phil et al, Lets be VERY careful & clear NOT to put ALL Bird photographers or any photographers for that fact in this quote you made below please!
> "Birders need to understand that bird photographers are parasitic of > the sightings on this list" I have been a pro photographer for 40 years and would NEVER do what the 2 time offender or more has done PERIOD! I would also be mindful of NOT posting exact locations of such birds. Lets all remember to think of the birds before posting questionable sightings. It is the right thing to do! Cheers, Mardi W.
