Most birders have been there.  It’s early in the morning and you spot an absolutely stunning bird and you reach for your camera……………only to find the lens all fogged up!

This is a common problem in hot, humid places such as rainforests.  One thing you can do to avoid this problem is to keep silica gel packets in your camera bag.  It’s pretty easy to acquire them for free.  They are often included in food products and bottles of medication to prevent spoilage.
