All too often... All too often... It doesn't take much movement by a bird at slower shutter speeds to get a blur. (And then throw in the "Oh! There's a bird! Grab a shot!" moments when the camera ain't set for bird photography, and I've got a ton more of those kinds!)

When I pressed the shutter release this prothonotary was (I thought) dead still. Larry
