I use two cameras usually. One is on a tripod, mostly because it is either the 500mm or a 600mm and just too heavy and bulky for me to grab, point and focus before these guys are here and gone. I rarely intend to shoot anything other than the bluebirds and I am concentrating on places I expect, or hope, they will perch. If a titmouse or a Carolina wren happens to show up, I usually will shoot a few shots of them.

My titmice are shoved around by most of the birds that are larger than they are, and even the Carolina wrens, which though smaller, are much more aggressive. The only birds I have seen the titmouse consistently dominate are the chickadees.
