Remember to get the circle to fill your camera, you can fine tune focus by looking into the lcd screen of your camera and then press the shutter
Yes it really works and I got great pics of a Kestral, Sandhill Cranes, Red Tailed Hawk, Burrowing Owls, Stilts, Sandpipers, a Kite and many others.
Try, try, and try and you will discover a very cool way of storing your experiences.

See you in the field!
