Thanks, Rick. Actually, he was very busy. Pecking around in those
grooves in the walk. I was shooting in bursts at 5 frames per sec, and
managed to salvage 5 or 6 out of 46 frames.
The camera is set up on a tripod at a window, on an AC adapter so that I
can leave it turned on all the time. In manual focus and prefocused on
a strategic spot so that I can fire with the remote shutter release.
For the Flicker, I saw him land on the walk and went to the camera,
switched to AF, full zoom aimed and started shooting bursts. There is
no way I can get that kind of shot shooting single shots. LOL The birds
just keep moving around and so quick.
