For best practices on enjoying nature while minimizing your impact please see the one page guides on Ethical Nature Viewing and Ethical Nature Photography developed by the Toronto Field Naturalists.

By using a telephoto lens with a digital camera and keeping your distance you can still capture the beauty of birds and other wildlife without causing stress on them which leads to many negative consequences on their health. If you capture these photos in RAW format on our camera you can then using a photo editing program to crop to zoom to produce great close up images without disturbing wildlife to get the shot. Below are some examples.
