Shutter speed was 1/125 sec IIRC. I should also mention I deliberately took
advantage of the 560's field curvature by placing the bird's head in the center
of the viewfinder so that the back and tail, closer to the camera than the
head, would be in the outer areas of the image circle. Thanks for looking, and
for your comments.
