Yesterday afternoon I had intended to photograph Black-Necked Stilts (again), but I had a bunch of American Avocets set up camp at the Dole plant today, so I had some new birds to shoot! Awesome day!!

Thanks. One more dumb question. Did you use center sensor AF or multi sensor AF . I assume you used AF servo with mode 2 IS yes?

Thanks. I'm learning so I ask a lot of questions. :D :D
