Why Birders Struggle with Bird Photography

This an opinion piece that looks at the different mindsets between birders and bird photographers. There is no judgment on the merits of each type of hobbyist, simply the differences in approach and outcomes of each.
I'm delighted to feature a few birders/photographers that I admire, as well as researchers and field biologists in this video.
Featured here are:
Melissa Hafting (Elite birder and photographer)
Alecia Smith (Conservationist and photographer)
Jerry Ligouri (Raptor expert, author, see more below)
Sean Graesser (Field biologist, researcher, photographer)
Cam Darnell (Birder and photographer)
Theodore Emery (Birder, photographer, brother in spirit)
