Let it be known that bird photography was not our primary objective - we leave that to the folks with the really awesome camera equipment.
Nevertheless, we got some decent photos with Liza's little Lumix camera (digiscoping) and Robert's 36x digital Canon.
Some of these you probably want to click on to see a larger version to see much detail at all...
