Axel, Nice details and pose. I think it might be time for him to go South.

This is amazing Axel. I can't imagine catching a sharp image of any sparrow. Were setting up for this, or was it just luck as he took off?

Thanks, Tim! I was waiting for them to stop by there on their way to feed on the ground. Even if I miss the takeoff, pre-capture saves the last 15 frames before I fully press the shutter button.
