I'm lucky to be able to have a family lake home in NW Wisconsin. I'm unlucky in that I have a job and too few hours in the day! (I also have to fish and explore other areas nearby; Amnicon Falls for example). I won't say my shots are "grabs" as I walk/stalk quietly through known habitats.
This is a lucky motion shot of the constant motion breed known as the Yellow Rump Warbler. Great little birds, hard as heck to catch. You see motion out of the corner of your eye, search and locate, bring camera to your eye, focus, and POOF!, he's gone!
Looks like you were one branch for a great shot. I've seen a few of these this spring but the Warblers have been mostly absent so far. It is going to be tough to photograph them this year since the treas are just about leafed out.
The harder to catch the more satisfaction when we do get a decent shot. Maybe the new CS5 would fix it. That is one reason I shoot eagles they don't hop around like little birds.
