I’ve been sneaking up on wildlife my entire life. Getting too close to wildlife, especially during spring, is not a wise thing. They must not be disturbed just for a photograph. Getting too close to wildlife, especially birds, gives photographers a bad name, particularly among birders.
"Birders" have a lot of things that bother them. I've never seen a more persnikity bunch! I'm sure they would be bothered all to hell about someone bothering the birds with a loud shutter. Almost as bad as golfers!
And I would be bothered all to hell as a photographer, to be given a bad name by a bunch of birders.
