Frustration

I sat for over an hour trying to get an unobstructed shot of this darn bird.
It's as if he were toying with me, always making sure there were branches of some sort between us.
ARGH!!!

I mean that you can't SIT and take a bird picture....

Yes those pesky branches always get in the way. Pruning the tree helps a bit but best of all is to be nimble with your feet. ;)

I`ve had that happen too many times! This is lovely!

Birds are smarter than we think! Plus, this one looks just about ready for the bomb bay doors to open.. LOOK OUT!

Sounds familiar. I once sat perched for 2 hours trying to photograph a very uncooperative I'iwi on Maui once. All that patience and I didn't get a decent shot!

LOL! Birds can drive you crazy, can't they?
