I went out this morning to take a few test pictures with a lens I don't use much, a Sigma 120-400. Looking over to my neighbors yard and yes, he grows dandelions for a cash crop, I spotted this little black bird sneaking among the stalks.
Keeping him in the view finder at 400mm and manual focusing was a test of dexterity.

I'm hiding, you can't see me.

I'll just sit here, he won't see me.

Uh-Oh, I think I have been spotted.
