I just might give that a try as well. You know how shady those trails can be.

I might give what you are doing a try to see what happens. I think I will make it out to the Circle B on Saturday if you want to join me...maybe Sunday as well.

Rich do what i do walk with camera on F8 or 9 SS at 2500 in case of flight.Auto Iso if you find static bird next 4 clicks your at 1000 SS

I never found that I ever needed 1/2500th of a SS for BIF. I keep mine at 1/1600th for BIF and with static birds.
This way if I'm shooting a bird standing still and it decides to take off, Im good to go without even taking my eye off the viewfinder.

Maybe if I was shooting hummingbirds I would increase the Ss, but birds like the ones at the CBBR, 1600th works for me.

re-TIRED. To old to make those kinds of drives anymore, or at least that often.

I have been shooting at 1/1500 to 1/2000 depending on what kind of birds I am shooting. F8 or F9 tends to work pretty good on my Tamron 150-600 and D750
