Now I'm thinking I got the silence thing wrong.
Nonchalant whistling may need trying while photographing - hmmm?

So Doug - do you talk like the human you are - or whistle - or?
Care to share?

Human talk, typically stream-of-consciousness.  Probably doesn't matter
whether it's human talk or whistling.  They know I'm there even when I'm
camo'd so silence comes across as an attempt at deception.  I also don't
stare or let my camera stare.
