Michele and i went to Fern Hill bird whatever (I’d call it the Fern Hill sewage pond, but birds and fish don’t seem to care)…  Not a whole lot of birds, but nice and quiet.  Some of the photos are actually at 500mm (which explains the lower quality in some cases.  The lens is nice, but not as pure as my Nikon 200mm w 1.7x TC.

(which Michele has been wanting for ages).  We also managed to get a Wii Fit for list price..  (they got in 6 and we were #5 in line).  A number of people were peeved they were farther back.  Cool stuff and kudos to Trevor for the location recommendation and Toys R us for keeping people inline & handing out coupons for Wiis…
