Hi Paul - Yep, all handheld. I *was* seated in the passenger side front
seat of my car, so I had extra support. I was not able to rest the lens
on the car door, given where the birds were, so I was basically just
sitting there shooting. An FA 400 f4.6 would be sweet... The Tokina lens
seems to hold it's own, especially for a (relatively) inexpensive piece.

All hand held, Mark? Looking forward to getting out with my 60-250, although
it's tough to get close enough for shots of small birds. Maybe I can find
another egret or heron. Would love to have David's FA 400. My A 400/5.6 is okay
but I'd like to take advantage of the K-3's autofocus capability.

Thanks! I was about 15 feet from the birds, which is close to the lens's minimum focusing
distance. The flash does not seem to bother them. There were times when the
"whirrrr! clank!" of the cam based AF did send them flying. AF on the 400mm
Tokina tends to be pretty load and it makes a noticeable clank when it hits the end stop.

Very nice results! Aren't the birds scared by flash? How close could you get?
