Spotting wildlife is often about subtle contrasts and shapes. The subject’s movement sometimes helps. This Sapsucker flew onto the tree then froze in place.
Looking for the unexpected can help.
Some creatures hardly move, like the Tree Frog, and others, like this warbler, are in perpetual motion so it’s helpful to anticipate their next direction.
Very nice, Ellen!
Thanks, Larry! It’s fun to go slow and see what is watching us!
How cool! 🙂
Thanks!
Never ceases to amaze me how birds and other animals can just completely blend into their surroundings.
And I’ve missed many images of a bird right in front of me, spotted only as it flies away!
