What is that annoying clicking sound?

I spend a lot of time standing as still as possible, but I can usually tell when they are alerted by the sound of the shutter. This is a male Towhee. I am seeing the Towhees more and more. I have never had this many in my area :0)

I haven't seen any yet this year! They must all be in your region! Great capture. The males have a great song during mating season.

I found with the squirrels that the sound of the shutter makes them pause to listen and the assist beams make the birds look at me. Nice capture here.
