I try to get as close to the birds as they will allow. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. A crunching leaf or even a foot shift can send them flying. The male Towhee let me get fairly close this morning.
That's unusual too because they are so darned skittish. I'm dying to get a shot on the ground with them doing that funny leaf flinging trick to find their food!
Such a lovely bird. I've never seen one before so this is a treat. I try to get close to the birds as well. Don't wear anything that jingles, creaks, squeaks, etc. Basically go barefoot and watch the ground. Fav.
