Tracking a tiny Goldfinch as he darts about in the air is a heck of a lot more challenging to me than shooting a slow-flapping Egret…

But the speedy Olympus EM1 Mark II made it possible even for me.

So here’s an eleven-shot sequence. First we seem him high up in the blue, then managing a feather-soft landing on his favorite nyger-seed feeder.
