You hear a bird.
You look in the song’s direction.
The bird is spotted.
Camera ready, you position to take a picture of the bird.
There is no bird in the frame because it flew away, moved to another branch or behind a branch.
A downy woodpecker was spotted in a tree. I end up photographing a starling behind a branch. No woodpecker in sight. Sigh.
