Fantastic photos! I've watched the little birds around here, and there's no way I could do justice with the way they move around. So quick!

thank you! yes, they are super quick. I've started shooting in three or four shot bursts and when I'm lucky enough to anticipate a move, sometime I get something special. The second photo, I didn't even see the tufted in the background coming in for a landing!

I was shooting at 1/1000 sec and it wasn't enough to freeze the wings but I didn't have full sun so even at that speed the iso was 5600 which is a little noisy
