The results are worth the trouble to me. If nothing else, I enjoy myself.
I just wish I could thread the needle a little better with AF when the
little buggers are jumping around in the trees.
I have lots of excellent photos of the birds on the feeders, which are very
close, compared to the tree, but I don't find the feeders very
photo-worthy. It's awesome to catch them in the tree.
