I like to watch birds. I also like to photograph them. I shoot with an 800mm lens and quite often a 1.4x or 2x teleconverter. Would I like to be closer? Yes of course. But my mommy taught me manners and I know how to behave myself.
I saw a Snowy Owl this year for the first time in my life, and it was magnificent. If not for this list, I never would have experienced such beauty. I've had many great locations shared with me by both birders and photographers alike. An idiot is an idiot. But a misinformed person can always be informed. Does it really matter if they have a camera or a scope? I'll leave that up to you.
