Oddly enough, birds don't seem to mind the flash. If I move my arms or
raise the camera, they fly away. But I can fire the flash repeatedly,
and it doesn't seem to alarm them. Maybe they don't really see it, or
else it doesn't register as something they should be afraid of.

Hi!
Did a bird hike in the woods today. The first robins of spring showed
up this weekend. This guy is the common robin as seen throughout most
of the US. Shot with the *istD, the A 400/5.6 and the Sigma 500 Super
flash on high-speed synch setting with the Kirk flash magnifier
attached. ISO 800, f5.6 @ 1/750th.

Paul, have pity on the little fellow - Sigma 500 super flash *with*
flash magnifier... Hope you did not give little bird a big heart
attack ;-).
Cool stuff...
Boris
