Outstanding sequence, Russ. :clap

I take it those are all consecutive shots from a burst? Were you using Servo mode? They're all nice and crisp.

Cheers,

I was hoping no one would ask that question :D
Well Joel, to answer your question, yes and no.
Actually, #3, 4, & 5 are in sequence. #1 & #2 were taken before and after it flew from the second brance.
This order just tells a better story.
