    some of this stuff dosent matter to much if you can get closer to te bird!
    if you doesnt have a 400mm, 500mm or even long lens, it’s hard to get this
    result whitout a lot of patience,some luck, and also a good camuflage,
    specialy with very shy birds. (sorry for my bad english 😛 )

    Glenn, the sound problem I reported was an issue with my browser: Safari on
    Mac OS 10.9. Sorry for the complaint.

    Good point about knowing the calls. That’s how I finally got some shots of
    a Belted King Fisher. He was hidden far away in some trees, but since I
    knew his call, I located him with binoculars, then waited for him to come
    out and move closer :).
