This set came as a result of a post where it was asked if very high shutter speeds are ever used.
Since most of my BIF pictures of larger birds, I rarely get to practice on little ones, but I should do it more often.
It's the song birds that are the most difficult.
In this set I'll ask you to pick one that IMHO is the toughest of all and I have a garbage pail full of OOF images to prove it. Have fun.

I agree Joe. The smaller they are, the faster they are to change direction and more difficult to anticipate where they are going and keep them framed.

I'm afraid not Teagan. All of them are so different it wouldn't serve much purpose. Thanks for asking.
