When you want to get the hang of your camera skills you have to practice a lot, and there is no better scenario than taking pictures of birds, the smaller the better. One exercises the mastery of the controls and, in addition, by far the patience 🙏. 

That's what I said recently to a friend who, passionate about this world, required some training. Without thinking too much about it, we got down to work.

*The photos are my entry to the #monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest.*

>*Cuando se quiere agarrar habilidades en el uso de la cámara hay que practicar bastante, y no hay mejor escenario que hacer fotografía a las aves, mientras más pequeñas mejor. Uno ejercita el dominio de los controles y, además, por mucho la paciencia 🙏. 
Eso le dije recientemente a una amiga que, apasionada de este mundo, requería algo de adiestramiento. Sin pensarlo demasiado, pusimos manos a la obra.*

There are several factors to consider: first, the bird species, and their behavior—are they calm or skittish? These are indispensable questions.

>*Hay varios elementos a tener en cuenta: la especie de ave, primeramente, y su comportamiento, ¿son tranquilas o asustadizas? Estas son cuestiones indispensables.*

![_DSC4650-NEF_DxO_PRIME.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/muhammadhalim/23tGy44nibHnup5DvMGANXViEQ1Nr6g7XDDZx9fPZ1ikQdLbUt7CLNQZifVfcGohVsoBQ.jpg)
**(Bee Hummingbird/ Zunzuncito)** 

Another crucial factor is the time of day, as some species are more or less active depending on the schedule.

>*Otra cuestión fundamental es la hora del día, hay especies que son más o menos activas en dependencia del horario.*

**(Yellow-faced Grassquit/ Tomeguín de la Tierra)**

Birds are mostly territorial and do not tolerate intruders; others, on the other hand, are too skittish, and finding them in good lighting conditions is almost impossible; they are almost always in dark areas.

>*Las aves son en su mayoría, territoriales, y no toleran a los intrusos; otras, en cambio, demasiado asustadizas y encontrarlas en situaciones de buena luz es casi imposible; casi siempre están en zonas oscuras.*

**(Gray Catbird/Zorzal Gato)**

If it is important to find the bird we want to photograph, it is equally important to find a suitable branch. How is it done? A lot of patience, using camouflage, measuring the light of the scene beforehand, and keeping your fingers crossed because luck is also a factor to consider.

>*Si es importante encontrar al ave que queremos fotografiar, también lo es buscar una rama adecuada, ¿cómo se hace? Mucha paciencia, usar camuflaje, medir previamente la luz de la escena y cruzar los dedos porque la suerte es también un factor a considerar.*

At the end of the day, we are truly exhausted, and for good reason—we had to travel over 200 km from home to find these species. Now, it’s not all work, you know; there’s also enjoyment in the company and what we learn along the way. Thank you, dear friends, for visiting my post, and I hope you enjoyed it. See you soon on the next photographic adventure. Until next time!

>*Al final del día quedamos realmente muy agotados, no es para menos, tuvimos que viajar algo más de 200 km de casa para encontrar estas especies. Ahora, no todo es trabajo, eh, también hay disfrute en la compañía y lo que en el camino vamos aprendiendo. Gracias, queridos amigos por visitar mi post y espero les haya gustado, nos vemos pronto en la siguiente aventura fotográfica. Hasta luego*
