anyone who's ever tried to catch one of these little feathered pinballs knows how difficult it is to get one sitting still... usually, about the time the AF locks on, they bounce off to another branch, and you get a nice photo of some tailfeathers. this one must've been tired or something... he actually sat still for at least 4 seconds! 40D, 350mm, 1/400 @ f/8.
