As a nature photog, it can be a point of pride to say, "I'm going into the woods to shoot x type of animal. The success is even cooler when you try find a specific animal
Two weeks earlier, a hawk crossed my path so fact, I could not figure out where it went.
When I came back to find that particular hawk, found him at the same spot.
He did not want to be found.

So when this guy realized I was after him, he played cat and mouse with me for about an hour. He would fly ahead and hide in the trees/brush, only to repeat the same when I got close. Amazingly, he would let other people (who did not know he was there) walk past his hiding spots. He even flew across a river to avoid me, and flew back over head when I was looking down at my camera. (saw the shadow first, then him.)

@corlin @electrikmonk One time the crows in my neighborhood were losing their damn minds, squawking up a storm. I walked out, looked around, down to the street, and there was a dead red-tail. I stared at it, it didn't move. They shut up.
