Black-bellied Whistler

G'morning, y'all. BIFs have always been a tough challenge for me. I need to spend a lot more time working on them than I do but I get frustrated with myself so I fall back on my comfort zone subjects (things that don't move, lol). Anyway, for better or worse, here's my attempt at a Black-bellied Whistling Duck. Thanks for the look.

Nice , nice picture. Try an inexpensive (under $40) red dot gun sight. I had no real luck with BIF until I got one.

Floyd, that’s an idea. How exactly to you incorporate the red dot sight with the camera?

Go to B & H and search for the following:SVBONY Red and Green Dot Sight with 20mm Rail Mount - $29.99 before shipping. Attach to camera hot shoe, using a tripod, set camera focus on spot about 40-50 yards away, adjust dot on sight until centered on same spot of same item as your camera. Now you are able to keep both eyes open (looking above the camera) following a moving bird. Have fun!

BTW. I did not find in the instructions (maybe I didn't look closely enough) how to turn the sight off to save on battery power. Locate the vertical white bar and set either the "G" or the "R" on that mark and the sight is off.
