Hmmm...the Great-horned Owl photos I've got scanned up on the web
were taken at the closest focus of my 80-200/2.8 zoom - about 5 ft.

And I had neither blink nor speaker...I guess the owls in Fields, OR
respond to the sound of a milkshake being slurped (which is what I
was doing with the hand not busy with the camera).

You know, sound can be uploaded and then dumped by netscape etc. This
would be great for the tweeters page, don't you think?

Keep the AR extremists at bay, perhaps?

How about an innocent anchor just labelled "baby rabbit", and when
you click on it, ****SCREEEEEEEAAAAMMMMMM*** !

I like it...
