Without intending to do so, I seem to have developed a taste for wildlife photography. It's easy enough to do when the critters pose for me (gulls on beaches, for example) but that's the rare case. Usually, they see/smell/hear me coming and head Somewhere Where I'm Not ©.

It strikes me that to get decent photos of the uncooperative members of the animal kingdom, I have to be patient (sit, become part of "nature," and wait) and, of course, put myself in places where there is likely going to be wildlife. What I'm looking for is tips/hints/cluebats for how to get more, better, varied, and closer wildlife shots

Thanks!
