I've owned the Panasonic Lumix line of ultrazoom cameras --- FZ10,'20 and '30 --- since January 2004 and with the Leica lens, image stabilization and 12x optical zoom (out to approximately 420mm) I've learned to appreciate birds as I never had with my previous cameras. My interest became an obsession after my recent (October 2005) purchase of a Red-Dot Sight, a device usually found on guns to track targets. I now "hunt" and "shoot" birds with the RDS mounted on my current FZ30's flash hot shoe using an Xtend-a-Sight.
On the same day of the Mallard action I spied an American Kestrel couple at the park looking for dinner. These are small, zippy falcons that I've always found difficult to contain within the camera frame, but as you can see from this and the following shots sighting through the RDS made tracking easier.
