Yes, the branches made it very difficult to lock focus on the bird. Sometimes I got lucky and it locked on the bird. Other times I turned off the auto-focus and did it manually. There were more visiting again today. They are eating the buds on the nearby trees. I'm guessing there had to be close to a hundred in the surrounding area. They hide so well in the trees, but when they fly you can't miss them with the yellow on the end of the tail and red on the tip of the wings. They keep darting back and forth from tree to tree. Mark Thanks Roger.
