    That fuzziness is indicative of the wingbeat and makes the subject alive. Great shot. Posted one month ago

      Thanks for the comment and like. Yes the out of focus was caused by two things. I wasn't using a flash and my shutter speed was only at 1/2500. I need to boost the speed up to about 1/4000 to freeze the shot. This guy lives in my back yard and it comes to take a sip about every 10 minutes so I need a bit of patience. Posted one month ago
