Gray Catbird landing on feeder. Birds using the feeder fly from nearby bushes. Flight time is too short to track. This image was shot with tripod and remote with preset zone focus from a distance of 15'/4.6m. There is a fine balance between focal length and depth of field. The feeder is in a shaded area requiring high ISO to obtain sufficiently fast shutter speeds.
