Doug:

Since I first saw your work with the DMR and the 280 APO I seem to keep 
visualizing a definitive volume of North American avian photography by the 
Noted Birdman of Sacramento.

This latest image serves to underscore my own humble opinion that such a 
book must be produced (with or without new shots takentaken with and R-10).

Lovely, real and representative work as usual, Doug.


Bob
