Caught this guy and her chicks sitting in a tree in my folks' back yard
Nikon D40, 300ED @ f/4.5, 160th sec, ISO400
Lesson - do not attempt to photograph a fluffy chick using autofocus. I constantly found the branch the chick was sitting on was in perfect focus and it was just a fuzzy fluffball. No vertical lines! Manual focus was still tricky at distance these were shot at, but these worked out OK I guess.
