Subject: [Leica] OT rant: No wonder birders are wary of photographers!

Yesterday I learned first-hand how some photographers get many of their 
'action' photos of wild birds that are very popular on internet photography 
forums.  They have a friend chase the birds and startle them to make the 
birds fly past the photographer.  If this is what it takes to make popular 
photos then I'm perfectly content with boring non-action photos of relaxed 
birds.
