I use manual when shooting birds at the feeder - 1/1000 - 1/1250 shutter speed, f/8 for adequate depth, and an ISO which gives a couple stops above the middle line for enough brightness, and continuous burst. Out of 100 pictures I keep about a dozen or so that are interesting - I shoot through the kitchen window and keep my camera close at hand. Your shots are very nice, BTW.

Thank you Sue! These actual shooting situations I find very helpful. Wish I could shoot thru the window. It is sort of cold here today, but not for long.

Nice grouping of photos. Looks like they were really hungry.

I know, you would think that. But, I think they are just as aggressive with each other as hummingbirds. I had to go and restock on seeds today. The guys at the feed store will ask if we need any bird seed... geeze... Now the deer are coming up and eating off a big rock where we put some seeds. And the coons are coming back at night to clean up the leftovers.
