Bird Watching: "keep the camera handy"

For the past few days the bird feeder has been very busy, especially in the morning. Pairs of blue jays and cardinals, juncos, chickadees and literally sparrows by the dozen.

If I want to catch the male cardinal and big blue jay in a good photo I'll have to keep the camera handy and always turned ON.
