Might be. I was surprised when I first approached it and it flew off
before I could get the camera into position. Usually you can get to six feet
or so before they notice you, but not this one.
The photo could have been a bit clearer if I'd had the opportunity to
mount the pistol gip on the lens, but that was in the daypack. I now see a
need to have it somewhere on the belt along with everything else so that it's
readily available for situations like this.
