Well the blackbird is in flight. Probably should have cropped that silly deer out.

Oh. I had to blow that image up to 100% to see your points. Sneaky!

Thank you, the A1 ii is a beast of a camera. I am thinking of getting a side mounted gimble for my monopod to steady the set up. So far, all handheld. Gi

I have a Sirui SVM-145 with a Wimberley MH-100 MonoGimbal Head. Works like a champ!

I'm surprised at how few Blue Jays there are in my neighborhood. So it was a nice surprise to see this one under my birdfeeder!

LOVE the blue!

Put out peanuts in the shells and they will show up.
