I have that same issue with birds, Ann. I find them to be terribly difficult subjects, so when you get a shot like this, it's a wonderful thing. :)

James, Kristin, and Iris... thanks to each of you for your generous comments about this image. I took several shots, and this was the only one where the birds were still enough for the photos to be usable.
