ABSTRACT
This chapter covers wildlife photography which assumes the animals are free to move about in their natural environment. Wildlife accustomed to humans being close to them is often referred to as "habituated wildlife." They are commonly found where people tend to spend their time. Many countries have national parks that have protected wildlife for decades. Many photographers wear camouflage clothing for wildlife photography. Some wildlife photographers buy camouflage covers for their equipment. Approaching wildlife from the water is incredibly effective. Many wildlife photographers construct a floating blind that resembles a muskrat house. Providing food is an effective way to photograph many species of birds and mammals. Depending on the species one who wish to attract, use the food they prefer to eat. Many birds and small mammals, such as squirrels and chipmunks, are easily attracted to cracked corn, thistle seeds, millet, and especially black oil sunflower seeds.
