i have a long lens, but as you say, it is a pain to carry!, and then have to shift back and forth between lenses.... henrik is more of a birder.. he carries tripod, digiscope and camera...but still can miss great shots, and those blasted birds just won`t sit still! have to think about it as a zen thing!!
Have a good trip!

Have a GREAT time in Chicago!
Someone wonderful once told me "can't start comparing yourself to where you wish you were. Compare yourself to where you've been, then keep on moving!" So hard to remember, sometimes, and yet always very true - thank you.
Ahh...words from a very wise woman!
Just missed you in Chicago, though I didn't make it to the aquarium anyway. Saw two wonderful shows - Jersey Boys and Wicked. I'll post pics on my blog.

The finches do love the woodland sunflower. Nice pic.
Sweet Jessica! Such a wise, wise woman -- who was she, anyway?
My daughte always carries her long lens and it makes the lot very heavy. I am looking to upgrade to something with a long lens too. I also have trouble with those little brown jobs. I have to wait until they perch. It is no coincidence that I usually post pics of waterbirds. They sit still and are BIG.
You are my favourite banjo player you know!

Oh, Susie thank you (though it's the mandolin I'm playing, which is allowed at Banjo Club). I know I'm doing ok, because for some reason, I can pick up the melody easily. But these guys were in a race! They love playing things double time, the faster the better. I know they were simply establishing their turf. Well beyond me.
I knew that!!!

The finches must have been working on seeds, and I have decided this is the woodland sunflower, NOT the False Sunflower as I first thought. Leaves are different.
So I missed a photo of the finches, and I also missed a photo of a couple of Kingfishers working the creek; and I missed some chickadees working the sunflowers, too. Trouble with birds is they startle (!) Trouble with the long lens is -- it's long and one more cumbersome thing to carry. Can tell I'm not a TRUE birder, can't you?
Banjo Club tonight had several members I'd never met before -- and they were Good with a capital G. Good as in intimidating. Don't know where they've been -- probably off not needing those of us (read me) who can't keep up with them. Just a tiny bit of a downer. Well. Won't let it be one. (Why should I be able to keep up with these guys who have been playing for years? I've been playing for year singular and a half, so I AM doing ok.) Sorry about that whine.
Oh, and off to Chicago tomorrow on the train with some, but not all of our grandkids and Jim taking the day of (with some complaining, but doing it anyway) to Shedd Aquarium. Back tomorrow night.
