Hello Rocky, appreciate your comment.

I think you have a very interesting observation.

Just a few weeks ago I was watching a bear – probably a female as she was in no hurry to leave and I suspect a cub was nearby. Just as soon as I pointed my camera at her, she vanished. I missed catching her in the photo by one or two seconds. I did get a nice picture of some brush though…

The camera lens looks like a big eye, which creeps her out. On our recent bird watching trip, my wife and I spent 40 minutes trying to locate a hard-to-find warbler. It was singing constantly from only 20 yards away. We alternated looking for it with binoculars and our naked eyes for the entire time with no luck. Finally, as I panned slowly with my binoculars, I passed by it as it sat motionless on a spruce bough. While still looking at it with my binoculars, I quietly told my wife “I’ve got it”. In that instant, it took two slow steps up the limb and then dove into the brush, never to be seen again. I’ve noticed this phenomenon at least a dozen times with birds alone. Within seconds of focusing on the bird, they fly off, even if they have been sitting and singing in the same spot for several minutes. I’ll never tire of hearing Star stories. Sorry for the long comment.
