Sorry in advance for this quick fund raising note. We are in the hunt for a bigger lens to fit on a Nikon camera body to get ready for the backyard bird count coming up in February and the spring migration season in March.

If you have an old 300, 400 or 500 mm lens lying around that you are not using, consider donating it to the Locust Fork photography cause. We'll put it to good use. Or, if you like checking out our bird photography, and you've got a few bucks to spare, consider making a donation via PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account but would consider sending a check, money order or paying cash, give us a shout and we'll tell you how. Send an e-mail message to fast2write@charter.net or call 205.960.3639.
