I want to buy a camera. A nice one with fancy lenses. I own a little point and shoot thingy, but it can't do much in the bird realm.
I tried to learn about the digital cameras, and had some luck with library books. I bought a stack of old magazines at a used bookstore and found that they were little more than Wish-Books supported by the camera companies.
Next I tried Google and wound up at :

Pure gold. I think I can buy some lenses that will do what I want them to do without breaking the bank or weighing ten tons. The guy does ask for a five buck donation for his time, I gladly shot him an Abe Lincoln. If you have your heart set on owning the most expensive and impressive equipment in the club, this is not for you. If you think that a military surplus blind and a pair of waders would help you get better pictures, then hit the link.
