I was taking some foliage shots in bright sunlight when I spotting a bird land in the tree about 15 feet from me. It was in the shade and I just turned and started shooting as he jumped from branch to branch. I think it's just a lucky shot. I think the blurry was a combination of him and me. You're not supposed to shoot a 600mm lens at 1/60 sec VR, IS or whatever without a tripod. I was just fooling around in my backyard. Thanks for looking.
