I'm posting this as a snap because it was spur of the moment. From time to time something would fly, hop, run or crawl through the back yard unexpectedly. Usually what happens is I'll be sitting at the computer and the wifey is at the kitchen table on the notebook when she see's something through the patio doors from the kitchen. She'll call for me to come see quickly and Brittany will come running and scare whatever it was away and ruin my chance to get a photo let alone see what it was. This time the camera was sitting in the case on the floor beside me and I made sure to tell the dog to stay. I had time to put the 70-300mm lens on and snap off 4 shots from approx 35-40 ft away before she flew. Unfortunately the patio door was dirty but a levels adjustment helped.
