I took a look at Stephen Harris' recommended web site, and I remember a
similar perhaps less militaristic looking support being advertised in birding
magazines some years ago. I also remember some tales on Carolinabirds about
birders using such devices being subjected to scrunity by law enforcement
types. We live in a different world since 9/11, and I wonder what would
happen to a birder lurking around a bridge, dam, airport, etc. with a scope
or camera mounted on a stockpod. This winter I was turned away by a security
guard when I tried to stop and look for gulls through the fence at the E. M.
Johnson Water Plant here in Raleigh. Just a word of caution.
