I’m not a wildlife photographer, but I do love it when people come up with clever ways to get a great photo. One way to do that is to use food to lure the subject into the frame. Another way to do it is to set up a red carpet and let the camera roll.
That’s exactly what comedian Patrick McDonald did, and they shared the best clips from their backyard’s BIGGEST NIGHT in a lovely Twitter thread I thought you’d enjoy.

older distinguished character actor arrives–he's done a million of these, but still never feels comfortable.
