Dear fellow birders,

I've just added two new sections to my online book, "Secrets of Digital Bird Photography":

Photographing Warblers (section 8.9)
Photographing Birds in Flight (section 8.10)

These should be considered "draft" chapters. You can read both at:
http://www.DigitalBirdPhotography.com

Please let me know if you find any errors or have any suggestions for improvement. This is a free resource for the birding community and I'd like to make sure that the information is accurate and comprehensive. Anyone who reports a significant error or otherwise makes substantial suggestions will be added to the Acknowledgements in the next update. And more importantly, the birding community will be grateful for the improved quality of this free resource that you've contributed to via your comments and suggestions.

Many thanks,

Bill Majoros

I've been looking through your book this evening and I've just scratched the surface. What a great resource and I commend you on all the hard work you have put into it. Excellent photos as well.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Opening page loads OK in WinXP but nothing happens when clicking on "click to enter", either in Firefox or IE. Something needs fixing!

Bill has done a great service in posting this compendious volume. I read through it all a couple winters ago and it took a while, so chocked full of information it is. I look forward to reading the new additions.

Click on the bird picture above the text "click to enter" and you are in.
