Lee Hyun-ung structures his day around the moments when birds appear.<\/p>\n<p>He makes his living as a produce wholesaler, but his true hours begin after work. During breeding season he crisscrosses mountains nationwide, recording bird behavior. A telephoto camera, camouflage gear and long stretches of silence are his basic tools.<\/p>\n<p>He wasn&#8217;t a bird expert at first.<\/p>\n<p>About 20 years ago, after accidentally photographing a common kestrel, he became captivated by nature&#8217;s refusal to repeat the same scene twice.
