You know you're a bird photographer when . . .

You set your alarm for 3:30 am and wake up 5 minutes before it goes off!

Your car is full of filling station sandwich bags and Coke/Dr Pepper cans.

When you think $6,000.00 is a reasonable price for a lens.

When you go to the beach and come home with an untanned camera outline on your face.

You will happily sit by a river all day, freezing your *$# off, in order to photograph Kingfishers, but think anglers are mad!

The only polished area on the car is where the beanbag rests on the window ledge.

You have the worst sick leave record in the office.
