You are a very patient individual. That's what it takes, though. Hard, enjoyable effort.

This is a series showing my efforts yesterday afternoon. I spotted a heron sitting on a dead tree across the lake from me. Flight pictures are my passion, and I set up my tripod and camera with what I thought was the pretty certain hope of getting some pictures of him taking off.

When I began this series it was cloudy, and about 45°f. A cold front was coming through bringing rain, and even the possibility of snow later in the day. . .

Here's a series of shots showing my efforts. . .

at least you got a "glorious bowel movement"; never saw the likes of that before...

"Glorious bowel movement" haha! Loved your narration! THAT image is the real gem of your day as I have never seen that documented. There is always lots of preening and flight photos posted, but not poop pictures!!

Nice captures
You are extremely patient.
I too have waited patiently in the cold.
Consider buying photographer's glove with a fold down index and thumb finger.
I always have a pair in my bag.

I notice the excellent separation of subject from background. Nice work.

I frequently attach my cable release if I suspect some feathered friend loitering.

That is a good idea. I don't have a cable release, but I'm going to get one. That would solve the problem of one cold hand.
