I'm really enjoying using the Sony Flexible Spot AF feature. Powered through on this shot that would have otherwise needed manual focusing due to the brush in the foreground and that's not something I was trying to do handheld.

Very nice. Catbird? I hear you on the struggles of shooting thru branches, sticks and leaves; but when you nail a shot like this it is worth it; the added depth is wonderful. Opinions differ of course, but I like these types of wildlife bird shots.
Thank you! Yes, the Gray Catbird is "backyard" bird common to the Eastern United States. I think it's named because one of it's calls reminded someone of a cat a long time ago.
