    Tim,

    Great shot.

    A technical question. Did you use manual focus. I am asking because of the water drops around the bird may throw off the auto focus so I was wondering how you did it.

    Hi Ray,
    I used auto focus.
    With all my bird photo's I shoot 6fps. I saw this robin just sitting in the bird bath and every few seconds taking a dunk under the water. I focused when he was static and took several bursts, refocusing between bursts. I also use back button focus, which I highly recommend. Hope this helps. thanks, tim
