Ah, too bad, there is nothing but automatic on your camera. You should get a better point and click. Cannon and Nikon both make very good point and clicks for under US$200 if you are able to save for one.

mmm, unfortunately I don't have a very good camera...

That was a cool catch! I wonder if they will visit the feeder again for you to get some more shots of them. If your camera does a faster shutter speed, you could try to get the bird looking like it's hovering?
Juan DiTrani
yep, I was lucky, but I miss a fourth specie hanging over the feeder

Wow! I would have had a heart attack trying to capture the moment. 3 species at one feeder! Very lucky. You should play the lottery tonite. :) TFTS!
