Always love bird photography but taking slides basck in the 70's were expensive and low success. I now have D70 and Sigma 135-400mm and Sigma 70-300mm, the tools I need. Hope to learn more from frineds in this great forum. Here in Hong Kong there are little countryside birding but there is an aviary in the city park. Also, I had a trip to San Diego last month and got some worthwhile photos IMHO.
