This is a great (and cautionary) story from a birder/photographer in New 
Jersey. Amazing that the man lived to tell the tale. Even more amazing 
to me that his photos also survived. Be sure to follow the link for his 
full story including rescue squad trying to extricate him.

Last Sunday, I fell on the jetty at Barnegat Light State Park
while photographing Harlequins and other sea birds. I am sharing
the following with you for a couple of reasons, 1) I am still here
to tell the tale and 2) hopefully, you will all be very, very careful
whenever and wherever you go birding.

As I found out,it doesn't take much to get into a dangerous situation.
August has been trying to rein me in for a couple of years
now...Barnegat
has taught me my lesson.

Please click on the following link to see a poem and some of the
photographs
