One for the birds, or you bird photogs

I have seen the TV documentary. They were sponsored by NatGeo.

That was incredibly hard work in miserable conditions but ... spectacular results which will probably never be duplicated.

Agreed, I wouldn't wanting to replicate the anything near documentary type effort - that takes months and months. The operative word is "like" as in a poor facsimile.

Rather, a trip that relives some of the elements of such an effort - be it some s.e. asian trek or perhaps something more tame inside the U.S. or Australia...while the birds of the everglades don't have the luminosity of the BoP there are some wonderful images to be had, Australia has its own colorful and some a bit rare parrots, etc. Or the canyon lands of Utah/Arizona are truly world class and simply can't be done in a weekend.

I will have the time and some of the resources, the soles of the feet are getting a bit itchy.
