I use my 4 wheeler as a hide for 90% of my shots. When I find a "birdy" location, i spend some time and watch the activity to see where birds are using a favorite perch, feeding location, etc.
I try to park giving myself a clear field for pics as best I can.
I use inexpensive large green bath towles clipped to the "hand hold" over my driver's door, clips on the "2 "sun screens", one over the window behind the drivers seat. I have cut the towel so my scope extends to the outside and "clip" it close to scope body to hide body movements. The slits allow viewing from inside.
It usually only takes a matter of minutes before the birds resume their previous activity and allow one the chance for a shot.
After this weekend of being interuppted twice by passersby and being asked if I need help, I'm making two 81/2 x 11 signs that state in big black letters NATURE PHOTOGRAPHER . Well meaning people, but enough to put off your subject and leave you at square one!
