Frank -

My wife is a serious birder; me, I just try to get the little buggers  
to stick to some recording medium.  In fact, when we were at the  
Limahuli Gardens we spotted a bird that the on-site official couldn't  
identify.

If only we had had some gear capable of capturing an image of the  
thing... with subtle color nuances and highly detailed rendering of  
the feathers...

(A bit clinical and truncated for my taste in actual birdsnaps, but  
it's really helping with the all-important (to birder types) ID  
factor...

Actually, you've also raised a couple of other interesting questions  
that I'll address later.
