No flash this day

Took a small hike at Lums Pond in N Delaware yesterday.
Connected with Ruby Crowned Kinglets right off the bat.
Because we were doing a trail vs sitting for birds I did not have the tripod/flash rig with me.
It would have been helpful, maybe.
These little birds hardly ever sit still, even sitting still they arr moving. Out of 128 images I have maybe 6 worth working with. I think these were the best.

Outstanding, Bill. I usually have about the same keeper ratio on small birds as you had on these.

First time I seen/photographed these, I thought it was an injured Vero or such. Also thought they were playing around moving so much until I seen one about to swallow something flying in a photo. Also noticed they are not shy when it comes to people. Nice Photos.

They do move about a great deal.
It used to really bother me that sometimes I had such a low persenyage of keepers.
Then I began thinking of all the variables that must line up exactly for a clean image.
Than I began to really appreciate the 10-20% that are usable. Then I realized I was going to delete all but a couple anyway.
Now I am becomming pleased with bringing home one or 2 Good images of a subject.
