More like an ostrich.
No, see ... the Tortoise doesn't move ... he just pulls his head in under his shell, and waits for everything to calm down ...
Then, when he's sure the commotion has dissipated, he sticks his head back out of his shell, and then, goes on his way - dig?

That goes without saying, Andy ... my ex, too ... but, that's because she's down in Florida, and I'm up here, in CT ... and I prefer to KEEP it that way!!!
Thanks for all the wonderful comments. Cheers.

What subject do you find challenging?
While we are at it, what subject do you find the easiest subject to take a shot of? Mine are plants/flowers.
Your images of birds are very good so I am hesitant to mention what I do regarding BIF, but here is what I do, if you find it helpful great, if you know of a better method it would be nice to hear it.
I set my camera on manual settings and find something in my surroundings that I find similar in tonal quality to the birds I am after and use it to set my manual exposure, after shooting the first bird I check my settings and if I am happy with the settings I do not worry about exposure no matter changes in the background because I am exposing for instance on eagles in a particular light, so my images come out pretty consistent. If different birds become of interest then I will have to make the proper adjustments to my exposure. If clouds cover a bright sun then I will have to make adjustments. But all in all I get pretty good and consistent exposure and don't every have to think about what the background may be doing to auto exposure settings.

Thank you for your comment. I also looked at your BIF shots and you did some wonderful work. Your formula looks like a winner. I don't have anything to add. Cheers.
