Baiting in wildlife photography
I would like to hear your opinion on baiting and using electronic calls in wildlife photography. Besides people leaving meat for foxes/wolves or baiting owls with mice in Winter, there is a new “phenomenon” getting more popular in the last few years. Unfortunately it is widely used during Spring - nesting season. Many photographers are using electronic bird calls to get songbirds to more favorable perches. This changes bird’s behavior as instead of looking for mate or carrying for nest, birds are being distracted to look for an intruder that isn’t there. You may think that using calls here and there is harmless but than we have photographers like Ray Hennessy who runs workshops for 3-4 weeks in Spring. For 28 days he is there every morning and evening, or at times all day, playing sounds in hopes of getting birds low and close for his clients. Additionally, he does this on the grounds of the National and State Parks where use of calls is strictly prohibited. How do you think Ray is getting those “breath” shots? Simple! Using calls! Did you see a photo that placed 2nd in BPOTY Birds in Environment category? I bet you that this bird was also lured in close to the camera with an artificial call! What are your thoughts?
