    Isn’t Bigfoot supposed to be a giant ape? It’s supposed to be some kind of protohuman right, I think that’s the idea, so presumably they’re quite a lot easier to take a picture of than a small bird. Also here is a picture of a squirrel I took, to rather prove your point that it is possible to take pictures of fast moving animals. Proof positive of my bona fides

    A better comparison would be can you take a picture of a cow.

      Also, home CCTV cameras are more common than ever now. Including near and in remote woodlands. There are literally initiatives where if you live in or near ecologically important areas, you can give universities and research groups access to your outdoor camera footage to allow them to track the movement of wildlife, basically as an expansion of existing trail cam systems. It has been used to track everything from hummingbirds to feral cats to bears and moose. The fact that not a single one of those programs have ever verifiably caught a cryptid at best casts doubt on their existence.
