    Taiwan in mid June.

    Hi; I've got the opportunity to travel with my wife and another birding couple to Taipei. We would be able to spend about 4 to 6 days birding.

    Texas Birding at lower Rio Grande Valley

    Hi Bluedog; When you are in the lower RDV you should go to Estero Llano Grande State Park and Bentsen State Park. Check out this web site which describes the World Birding Center sites in the RGV. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publications/pwdpubs/media/pwd_br_p4502_0058q.pdf Cheers, Paul

    A D800 at last

    The results lead me to wonder at which point it is worth having a 2.0TC. Looks to me that with the pixel density of the D800 you still have lots of data to render a great image when cropping. Once again thanks heaps for sharing; helping me (and numerous others I'm sure) come to grips with all...

    A D800 at last

    Excellent and much appreciated reporting on the D800. Thanks for sharing. I'm puzzled about the quality difference between the D800 and the V1 on the images of the stilt. Is it because the D800 is so unforgiving with respect to "being in focus"? I can't imagine why the V1 would produce a...

    Playa Ocotal Birding info please.

    Thanks Niels; Yes, we will be renting a car. However, because we have paid out to rent this condo I'm afraid we will only take day trips. W~e~ll, maybe a night or two away;) Good idea about the trip reports: I have been reading them and I haven't noticed too many refrences to the part of Costa...
