[TN-Bird] Photos from recent Venezuela trip

All,

Let me 1st say that this doesn't directly pertain to birding in TN. If you 
aren't interested in pix from a trip outside TN, please disregard now.

For anyone interested, I have a new gallery with a lot of shots from a 
terrific trip to Venezuela last month. Consider this a precursor, as Chris 
Sloan will be following-up with a collection of shots from everyone, where 
several of these same shots will probably be. Chris and Clyde Blum in 
particular got a lot of great shots, as their D-SLR's and 400mm lenses 
performed very well down there. I did carry my scope, and did some 
digiscoping whenever I could, which helped with some of the distant birds. 
If you're only going to look at one set of photos, probably consider looking 
at Chris'.

I'll let Chris spill most of the beans, as he put the trip together, but we 
had well over 500 species on the trip. A disproportionate number of Harpy 
Eagle shots are included in my gallery, because, well because it's a Harpy 
Eagle! My gallery is arranged in taxonomic order, and as usual, many of the 
shots aren't exactly pretty!

Good Birding!!
