thank you! yes, they are super quick. I've started shooting in three or four shot bursts and when I'm lucky enough to anticipate a move, sometime I get something special. The second photo, I didn't even see the tufted in the background coming in for a landing!

I was shooting at 1/1000 sec and it wasn't enough to freeze the wings but I didn't have full sun so even at that speed the iso was 5600 which is a little noisy
