Here's a little trick. Since they are going in and out of the nest I would set camera on tripod, set lens to manual focus, and prefocus on the entrance to the nest. Now as the birds enter, exit, press the shutter button. This should help you nail the little guys.. Good-Luck
Great advice Martinfisher! In fact I was doing that exact thing when I saw this one approaching on the wing & grabbed the tripod & camera to capture it in the air! LOL...it doesn't work well, waving a long bundle around to get the bird in view! As you see.
Next I will sit in a chair & try hand holding the camera to get them in flight. I did get some on the nest & stump I will post elsewhere.
Thanks. Walt
