All, Apologize for the off-topic post: If anyone is interested in something a little different, I have a new gallery of my photos from the 2004 spring trip I made to South Korea. I was entering that data into eBird which got me looking back thru those photos, and how small I saved everything back then to post. I now have a chronological collection from the trip, of about 125 species and a little over 200 species, and posted at a more appropriate size for the much larger monitors in use now, so the images aren't tiny when you look at them. These are practically all digiscopes (I would give anything to repeat that trip now with my DSLR), many are marginal but there are some pretty neat birds depicted, and some pretty good shots mixed in along the way. Many of these species of course are depicted in National Geographic, but unless you've spent a lot of time in Alaska or been to the Far East, most aren't very familiar. This trip for me was primarily for shorebirds (and primarily again for critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper and Nordmann's Greenshank, both of which seen well and photographed poorly), but the Buntings, Flycatchers, Herons, Thrushes etc were also fantastic. Anyway, if interested, the gallery is here: http://www.pbase.com/mctodd/korea_spring_2004 As usual, be sure you are on the 'original' size under the photo. I have several scenery/habitat shots also that weren't posted when I initially did galleries for this trip back in 2004.
