the trick is getting close enough for a good, detailed shot.

i'm playing around with a couple different locations for a bird hide....ultimately, i want to be able to get close enough to birds and monkeys to be able to shoot them with my 105mm micro nikkor lens...the only way that happens is if they can't see me.
