Thanks for the info linth, I'll have to Goggle Map it. Sure looks like a remakable place.

1,- My Blue Jays were back. It was overcast today. But I grabbed the 7D anyway.

2,- I wonder what they were looking at.

3. & 4.- Several Chipping Sparrows had a successful day offoraging in my yard. I had just cut the grass and the grubs were abundant.

5. I had never used a thing called "AI Focus", didn't even know what it was. But I read that in this mode, if you get subject in focus and the subject moves, then the camera will adjust focus itself to keep the subject in focus. I had this chipper in focus sitting in the grass and it took off, I pressed the shutter all the way and this is what I got. Looks like it worked. I photoshopped it, but in the original, the bird was high and to the left in the pic - I know it was not under the black sqaure in the viewfinder. Got to play around with this a bit more - and another mode called "AI Servo".

Bye, Hack
