Bird photography is a constant challenge since the subject is usually small, may not stay still, moves rapidly from branch to branch, sits in less than favorable lighting conditions and is extremely aware of an approaching photographer. So, as we all can see, bird photography can be frustrating as well as rewarding. Most On-The-Go (OTG) or In-The-Moment Bird Photographers will not spend the necessary time needed waiting in a blind, a hiding place for you and your camera which allows a photographer to get close to wildlife. Most OTG Photographers will not photograph through the night or constantly return to the same spot day after day.
