Thanks for the comment. I was being ludicrously quiet and still for about 45 minutes and took a LOT of pics, 95% of which had the shelf and nothing else in there!

I tried looking for some kind of hint that the birds were about to take off....but nothing!

They really are kings of the air with instant reactions.

Today, brought the 100-400 to school (the above was with the 100 macro) in the hopes to get a nice close-up....

So drop in later if you see another post from me.
