I think I have a good temperament for birding in that I am able to sit quietly for long periods of time, doing absolutely nothing. That is what it takes to capture a lot of those little songbirds. There are spots down at the lake that are just full of music from unseen sources, or sources that are too fleeting to properly seize with one's vision, let alone the camera. But if you just sit quietly for long enough, they will not only show themselves, they will pose. (Luckily, I had a park bench to sit on; I might have the temperament for this hobby, but the body is somewhat less accommodating.)
