Yes it's a shame you didn't get it all in frame because what is showing is sharp and crisp. Good effort.

I can't tell you how often that's happened to me Nice try...it's too hard to zoom out in time to get the shot...what's in the frame is nice and sharp Too bad he didn't have a shorter beak

eaglem, thanks for the comments. Yes, it's sharp and crisp what's in focus. Had he not been only three feet from me when he flew into the frame, I'd have gotten the whole bird.

Jan, your comments are welcome also. And this isn't the first time it has happened to me either but none were this close to me.

Scott. Yeah sitting still is an option too but then it wouldn't be BIF. Now if I could just get the Jays to sit still I'd be happy about that.
