Interesting bit along those lines on Smerconish this morning from a Dr. Vivek Murthy. ....... But it doesn’t work that way with Mother Nature. She is not a contestant on “The Apprentice.” She is just chemistry, biology and physics. We’re the contestants on her show. We don’t get to fire her. She gets to fire us. She throws viruses, hurricanes, floods, droughts, heat waves and pandemics at us to sort out who’s the fittest. And the ones who survive have one thing, and one thing only, in common: They are the most adaptive at generating the chemistry, biology and physics needed to meet the challenge. That’s all that matters. All those who can’t, get fired or, rather, are returned to the manufacturer.

Thanks. A comment on your "specs" and the SS you use to catch this movement. There are some foxes (5-7 not counting pups that are still in the dens, by some reports) that live on some horse property behind my house. Some of the locals feed them every night which attracts the foxes and large crowds of people. Before you say it, I think of you every night that I go to observe the "Feeding of the Five Foxes" (just to give it a Biblical twist) and think of the phrase "Not baited, set up or called in." It bothers me a lot but I do realize that I will not change anything by speaking up... but we are not doing the foxes or environment any service by throwing meat and other "garbage" in their direction. I even feel a little guilty taking pictures of the event, but... I digress. I have used a SS of 2500 or more in the evening sunlight and still get motion blur from these little creatures and they aren't moving anywhere near as fast as your little song birds. Frustrating, but with increasing frequency they are sharp. Just an observation. What percentage of pics do you discard in these rapidly moving situations? You seem to post a "complete" series quite frequently. Curious, Stephen P.S. I have some great pictures of foxes... framed with guilt! No, I don't feed them.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ron,</p> <p>I was going to ask what a “migrant trap” was as well but read EC’s post and your answer.
