"I bet he gets tons if girls/ladies for his class!"
I wish. Sadly, photography is mysteriously less popular with women than men. Further, few women venture into serious bird photography (it's going to be a bird photography seminar), because the equipment is so large and heavy. (Some do; I had a girlfriend who was a pro bird photographer.)
Fortunately, I'm also a wedding photographer, now... a field that is dominated by the fairer sex.
