Not a good idea!

Take my word for it! Waiting until dusk on a dreary day, when the light was lousy from the getgo, is not a good idea. Yes, I adjusted my camera settings to slow down the shutter and open up the aperture. Yes, I boosted the ISO, and yes, I captured the picture of this quick-moving little chickadee, but it still isn't a good idea to wait until the end of the day to head to the park for a blip. Morning is a much better time to shoot pictures of birds and other critters in natural light. Take my word for it!
