Yeah, I was attempting to, but that sucker moves just enough to piss you off... lol.

You can just see that the upper portion of antenna are sharper than the rest of the head/eye area.

Luckily his nest is right on my garbage can so tomorrow I can try again.

Yeah tell me about it. ;)

Luckily this one was in Nest Building mode so it really wasn't moving off of the nest, just slight movements of head and legs. Which was worse IMHO.

I have a bunch of shots that are one offs, because there was way to much movement to try and stack them.

I am going to try and go thru the best ones of that bunch in order to post them here tomorrow.

The end result is nice, in my opinion. Yes it would be nicer to have LordV sharpness on the subject, but sometimes the comp and subject matter make it a good picture, and I think this is one of those cases.

Thanks Guys, it is much appreciated.

I guess I have to remember that everyday I shoot, is another day to get better. :)
