Thanks so much to everyone for your help with my shorebird ids. I really a=
ppreciate that you took the time to answer.

As far as Richard's question regarding traveling with big lenses for bird p=
hotography=2C I always take the 500m lens in a backpack as carry-on luggage=
=2C without the camera attached. The camera and smaller lenses go into my =
camera bag=2C also as carry-on. I have only tried this on domestic flights=
as well as on a charter flight to Churchill but have had no problems. I h=
aven't tried taking it on overseas flights as I didn't want to have to lug =
that much equipment anyway once there=2C so I left the heavy lenses at home=
in that case. The Canon 500 m actually comes with a heavy duty carrying c=
ase that looks like it would stand up to an army tank but when I measured t=
he dimensions of the case=2C I concluded it won't even fit under an airline=
seat so I don't know what they were thinking. Apparently Canon has come o=
ut with a new 500 m lens that is lighter than the original...but lighter in=
weight resulted in a heavier price. =20

Happy birding. Happy shooting!=20
