Especially if you are a fan of butt shots when it flies away before you raise the cameraanother option is to run like hell to get nearer before it flies away

Maybe because I am lazy, but my preference is to sit down, try to look inconspicuous, and wait and pray the bird comes closer!

patience goes a long way toward eliminating the 'too far away' problem and minimizing atmospheric distortion. The trick is knowing where to sit. OTOH for myself this approach has led to an MFD problem when the bird lands on my head or in my lap.

I do that too. This question for more about curiosity rather than trying to avoid walking, waiting or getting a longer lens.
