I remember some years ago watching Alan Murphy's videos about how important is every detail while setting up for birds, something that catched my attention was the way he select the perches and how he literally tells the bird where to "land" I haven't get the chance to say thanks to Alan but I am really thankful for the knowledge I got from those videos, I try to use them on my setups during our Photo Expeditions in Costa Rica. So thanks so much Alan!!!!
