If you'd been using Leicas he wouldn't have bothered you because he'd
have known instantly that anyone serious enough to be using Leica glass
to shoot birds is indeed a serious photographer... :-)

Hello,

Last evening I went with my wife to shoot photos of water birds and the 
sunset at a public pier in Sandusky, Ohio.  While shooting, a security 
guard approached us and started asking questions about length of the 
lenses we were using (we had our Canon DSLR's and my wife had an 80 - 
200 mounted).  He also seemed curious about what we were shooting.  I 
wondered about his interest until I noticed that the Davis-Besse 
nuclear power plant was visible on the horizon.  At that point the war 
on terrorism became very real, even to us in the Midwest.  BTW, if we 
were using our Leicas, I doubt we would have captured his attention.
