squirrel and sparrow shots for me are routine enough that i do them while i
am waiting for something else to happen. sometimes, they will do something
really unexpected and then i get a great shot. most of the time, taking them
stops me from getting bored and missing something important. if i'm not
doing that, i am scanning the trees and the grass with my binoculars. the
Swainson's Hawk example i cited was really unusual because they are nearly
always field rodent hunters. going after a flock of shorebirds hasn't been
documented in any of my birding books nor any of the widely accessible
birding Internet sites. a good picture of that under the ideal lighting
conditions i had would be both academically interesting to birders and
profitable too.

Well, I am interested in wildlife photography and I have tried some. And
it
ain't easy. In fact, it's very difficult. So that affects my opinion. In
those
situations, it's better to get several shots rather than just one. And I
am
not even talking about making money on it, just getting the shots.
Squirrels are
the fastest d___ creatures, for instance.
