Good reading...Good job Snir.

Well done Snir. The time and effort you put into writing this is very much appreciated.

Snir, Great bit of work you put together there - as always!! Bob

Awesome shots

If this doesn't deserve to be a sticky, nothing does.

Excellent write-up. I'd love to lay in the mud with you.

that just made me feel so uncomfortable!!!

thanks for the kind words guys, i will try to update the guide today..

btw, next items to be added are: Feedback and critique (a big one for me) and using flash (i think)

Great thread, there are to few advice threads like this around and I know that I could certainly use the advice, do you have anywhere local where you go? And if so do you set up feeding stations there or just let the birds feed on what nature has provided?. Oh and you take great photos as well, no need to be modest.

i have a few local spots that i go to like Plum Island, Great meadows and other places in Mass. as for setting up feeding stations, i don't do that. i let nature do what it does best and just hope that i get the pleasure of capturing it.

Good stuff Snir, and great shots. But do you know how hard it is to find a real bean bag? Most of them are filled with soft squishy foam now.

Might just have to buy a couple pounds of real beans or rice, maybe put a zipper in the bag so I can get at them for emergency rations. Or fill it with M&M's

look at my sig for my write up of the bean bag just fill it with anything you want..

Nice compliation of good advice Snir.

Agreed, but I think you need to add a shot of you and mdjak laying in the mud together.
