Urban Wildlife Photography for Photographers Who Can't Afford Safari

Your local park probably has more shootable wildlife than you think. If you've been waiting until you can afford Kenya, this is the reminder that ibises, raptors, foxes, and possums don't care about your budget. The practical value here is straightforward: urban wildlife forces you to develop fieldcraft fast, because the subjects are skittish and the backgrounds are ugly, and solving both makes you a better photographer before you ever board a plane.
