For stop action I use a speed priority setting. Fast-fast shutter.<BR/>The little birds like it when I am outside. Most of the time they are hyper-vigilant! For good reason too!<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-33356349846744631372007-12-11T16:06:00.000-06:002007-12-11T16:06:00.000-06:00Dear Mari-Nanci,There are a few neighborhood cats ...Dear Mari-Nanci,<BR/>There are a few neighborhood cats about.

Way too many! My neighbors are not very good about putting bells on their cats collars. I try and keep an eye out for the cats. When I had a cat it had a sweet bell so the birds had a bit of a warning. <BR/>This cat was on the front sidewalk by my office window. I just stood up and he knew to scoot.<BR/>I am a patient person. Being a seed to seed gardener taught me the value of waiting.
