The temperatures are quite cold here in California. But yesterday, after dropping off my wife to work, I encountered a flock of feral parrots a block away from her office. The local parrot population had grown that I believe they now number in the hundreds and continue to thrive.

Sometimes it's not the size of your lens that matters, it's how you use it. ;-)
