Well, today's posts are uncropped, but as you can see I did have some challenges with getting sharp images with some of the birds. The Ruby-crowned Kinglet was in amongst thin branches, so getting auto-focus to lock onto the bird and not a stray branch was difficult. With the Palm Warbler, the setting sun's light was getting so soft that the shutter speed got slow enough that movement blur became an issue. But continuing to practice with more "common" birds like the Robin and Chipping Sparrow got decent results even if they're not flashy birds...

Hopefully I'll get a chance to get out and look for some more birds this evening.
