Humbling? WHY? Was this another of the American photographic gatherings style "shoot from the asphalt and brag about your er, size" ?
My uncle is a good ornithologist, and trough him I talked to many other ornithologists, not amateur but scientists. Best bird photographs are done with very long waiting, not very long lenses. Careful planning, knowledge of the species ethology. I would BET that none of the suckers photographing there came home with really great images.
