Andy,

      thank you so much for the review, greatly appreciated...I'm not 
a big fan of blurred photography either but in this case I felt the 
blurred wings were offset by the sharpness of the bird and said a lot 
about incipient flight...and you are so right about no repeats, the 
little critter was here and gone in less than a minute...I wouldn't 
have gotten the shot at all if I hadn't been standing there camera in 
hand photographing a Scrub Jay...
