Bluebirds with Canon 7D and 500mm

I don't want to do anyone a disservice my making this appear "easy". Finding the right perch, getting the bird to land on the perch at the right spot, placement of the perch....etc...becomes very tedious. I experimented with a few different perches after this video. The results can be seen on my website. The contraption on the flash is called a Better Beamer.

Thanks for the great vid. I shoot BIFs a lot, and it's always nice to learn from other like-minded enthusiasts! Love your kids too!

I have been working my way through your videos on You Tube & would like to say how much I have enjoyed them. The attention you give to the boys during what can be a nerve racking time gives you credit. I know from my own experience a laid back approach normally gets the photo. I have a 7D & just love it for this sort of work. Well done.
