I have a hard enough time keeping one bird in the frame.

Which bird did you focus on? If you say you manually focused I'm throwing in the towel.

Great work!

Hi Duane,
I could say manually focus but I didn't

We don't want you to throw in the towel.

I was trying to track the first Pelican in this sequence.
Thanks

Minnows

Anchovies would be more likely.

Great timing on these, Tim
