Nice Bob. Have you tried a slow shutter speed of say 1/120 to 1/200 to show the movement?

Good one Bob. High shutter speed keeps the bird sharp and viewers can figure out there is movement. Slow shutter speed would show blur, not movement. That is why it is called 'still' photography.

Thanks Imagemaster. I also tend to favor enough shutter speed to stop action.
