This shot is one of (way too) many that I took the first time I finally managed to remember to put my shutter speed up high enough to actually capture a bird in flight. I was at my in-law's on Christmas Eve and rather than socializing I was intent on photographing every bird I could possibly find at their extensive bird-feeding spaces. I nearly screeched with delight when I reviewed all of the photos and saw that this one ended up being fairly clear. I'm determined to improve on snapping flying birds, and birds in general, but when I look back at this one I grin at what I was able to do with very little chance to actually practice. I'm also determined to set up multiple bird feeders & a bath in my own yard so that I don't have to rely on my mother-in-law's garden (as lovely as it is) to get shots like this.
