| These are great Adel and I have a new respect for them as I haven't been able to catch one of the Barn Swallows...they are much too fast for me!! |

| dellrose...I catch them in the view finder about 20% of the time and somewhere near in focus about %5 of the time. My recycle bin fills up rapidly. It's best if you don't try to follow them with the camera. Get out in front of them and let them fly into the view finder.

| Great tip, adelbertcat. I have a couple of slow red-shouldered hawks that my clumsy fingers can't catch. I envy your action shots! |
