That makes them a good choice for PetKal. "If you're not having fun, your pictures will reflect that." - Joe McNally

Birds must be regularly in motion. I use mallard,Canada goose and ringbill gull. Good for building reflex and experimenting with camera settings for speed. These outings when I burn cards of gulls coming and going let me figure my hit/miss average when I download. Overall shooting speed on larger birds has made me better with small birds in motion. Ringbilled gulls have helped me catch Bonaparte's. We'll rape the horses and ride off on the women
