Subject: Mystery bird photos, sand bar clarification, and a camera Q
From: BoB LeSuer <rlesuer(AT)zoo.uvm.edu>
Date: 14 Jan 2002 8:54am
Hi all,
I finally got the pictures of my french mystery bird developed,
scanned, and thrown on the web (nothing special by way of web site
design) but if you are interested in helping me out, head over to
www.uvm.edu/~rlesuer/mbird
Regarding the sitings at the sand bar. Is a scope required for bird
observation or can us poor birders get a gimpse at a few winter water
fowl as well?
It's impossible to get reasonable camera information from the web, and
I know there are some photographic wonders here in vtbird-land.
Regardless, let me apologize for the off-topic question. If one adds a
2x tele-extender to a 1:2 close-up lens, does the lens now become a
macro (1:1) or is it still closeup (1:1.5)?
Thanks,
BoB

We had robins at our house in Charlotte during the winter last year and
I've seen them around this year as well. Indeed a good way to brighten a
gray morning.

I got a look at that impressive waterfowl assemblage on Saturday
afternoon. Some waterfowl were close enough to view with binoculars,
but a scope was necessary to have much hope of seeing the rarities.
Even with my scope (20x-60x eyepiece) I think I would have missed
the Redheads and Canvasback tucked into the scaup flock.
Fortunately, Ted was on hand with his high-powered optics, which
provided nice views of this tightly-packed group of ducks. He
even read the band on one of the Bald Eagles as it tore into a
big Bowfin out on the ice.
Also... we saw a Great Blue Heron on the refuge (I recall this
species was not on Jim's list from Saturday).

Subject: Question: source for fold down eye cups?
From: GeorgeLisi(AT)cs.com

I have a pair of old, 8x40 Bushnell's I am trying to find rubber eye cups
for, with no luck so far. They don't have to be Bushnell cups, they just have
to fit. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate hearing from them
off-list.
Thanks!

George,
I don't know if you wear glasses or not but it sounds like you do. I also
have glasses and my solution was to cut the rubber at the fold, smooth it
down with a nail file and presto it works just great!
Cheers, Roy

A correction to my earlier message: The starting
time for the following trip is 8:00 A.M., not
8:30. I apologize for the error.
