I finally got an "In-flight" shot. The female House Finch was at my most distant feeder from where I was sitting.

This is hard to do - I mean catch 'em while they're in flight. To take this photo, I just started snapping while it was on the feeder, figuring that when it took off, I'd get it. Looks like it worked.

I used a real fast shutter speed to stop the action.
