: Paul, I am a poor biologist and a worse birder. I like watching and
: photographing, and then later studying a species much more than adding to
: my life list. I do have a good friend that I can e-mail the images to when
: I am not sure of the identification. She is beyong exceptional at
: identification and patience. I need to figure out how to add the names
: with the web service I use so it will be more user friendly for those that
: would like to know the names.

WOW! I was interested in your first post, 'one amateur to another'...hehehe...
But I'm a little out of my league, looking at your shots. I was placated a bit when I saw you have a professional background. But..... incredible shots.

Here's a thought - ever thought of putting on seminars for kayakers who think they're photographers? To reduce the 'headache' factor, insist they've built their own boat. Cut your headache in half!
