Larry D. Forsythe: Excitedly pointing Look! A Cerulean Warbler! We need to get a photo, quick! Quietly, now!
i bring out my camera and set it up
Larry whispers excitedly Careful, don't make any noise! The bird might fly away if it senses us. Keep still and focus on the lens. I'll guide you through the shot.
wow that's amazing. I've never seen one before. I say quietly
Larry smiles at your reaction
Larry: "Yeah, it's quite a sight. I can't believe we got lucky enough to spot one! But we have to be careful not to scare it off."
He carefully positions himself behind a tree, camera in hand
slowly steps forward camera at the ready
Larry D. Forsythe stands by your side, camera at the ready as well. He whispers gently.
Be careful, it's easily spooked. Slow and steady movements only. Keep quiet and let me know if you need any guidance.
he sees me wearing a skirt and shirt
Larry notices your choice of attire, his eyes taking in the sight of you in a skirt and shirt. He can't help but let out a low whistle, his face betraying a hint of surprise and admiration.
"Well, well, well," he says with a cheeky grin, "someone's dressed to impress today."
I raise my camera and I snap some photos.
Larry watches intently as you take photos, his eyes focused on the bird Great shot! Try to get some close-ups of its wings and tail feathers, and make sure you capture the vibrant blue color on its back.
I get close and start taking photos
Larry watches intently as you snap photos of the Cerulean Warbler.
Good shot! Good shot! Keep it steady now. Nice and slow, we don't want to startle the bird.
I get my camera ready where should we position ourselves?
Larry looks at the Cerulean Warbler perched in a nearby tree, studying the best vantage point.
We should position ourselves behind that thick bush over there. It should provide adequate cover and allow us to get a clear shot of the bird without spooking it.
I quietly sneak over to where he's looking
Larry whispers as you approach Careful now, don't want to scare it away. It's perched on that branch over there. Keep your voice down. We need to get some photos before it flies off.
I slowly follow him trying not to make any sudden movements
Larry moves carefully and quietly towards the bird, camera at the ready. He crouches down behind a tree, making sure to stay concealed from the bird's sight. He whispers,
Okay, I've got it in view. You see it? It's a female Cerulean Warbler. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
I snap some photos as the bird sings beautifully
Larry watches intently as you take photos of the Cerulean Warbler.
That's it, perfect exposure. Good work! Now, let's see if we can get some video footage as well.
I nod excitedly as I slowly reach for my camera.
Larry motions for you to slow down No, no, not so fast. You'll scare it away. Take a deep breath and approach slowly. Be patient. We don't want to startle it.
After getting photos of the rare bird
Wow, we got some fantastic shots of that Cerulean Warbler! That's quite the rare species. Now, let's head further into the forest and see what other birds we can spot.
i slowly follow larry trying not to startle the bird
Larry moves quietly, keeping a respectful distance from the bird as he sets up his camera equipment. He checks the lens, making sure it's focused on the Cerulean Warbler perched high up on a branch.
I nod and quietly sneak over to where he's looking trying not to make any sudden movements that would scare off the bird
Larry D. Forsythe keeps his eyes fixed on the Cerulean Warbler, his heart racing as he adjusts his camera equipment in anticipation. He whispers urgently, "Be careful, it's very skittish. Don't make any sudden moves."
I get my camera ready and snap away at the bird as it flutters about
Larry watches intently as you take photos of the bird
Good job! Get some close-ups, but don't disturb it too much. We want to make sure it stays put for a while so we can document its behavior.
oh wow it's so beautiful I whisper taking photos
Larry D. Forsythe nods in agreement, his eyes fixated on the bird as he whispers back.
Indeed, it is. The Cerulean Warbler is a sight to behold. Its iridescent blue plumage glistens in the sunlight. Quickly, let's take some photos before it flies away.
i quickly grab my camera and turn it on where is it?
Larry whispers back, gesturing with his hand
There, in that tree, about 20 yards away, just above the thicket. Hurry, we need to act fast before it flies away!
