Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
That is how I feel when photographing wildlife. I hope to get to the right spot before the birds fly off or the deer see me or the antelope sense that I am near.
Also since I have stopped wearing my blaze orange sweat shirt that has helped a great deal too.. ha ha ha ha silly me I thought animals were color blind. Too bad orange is my favorite color. DANG !!!

Enlarge to feel the wind on your face and hear the wind blow through the Snowy Egrets feathers.
Cool !!!
