Makes sense...or will, once I have more coffee! :-) Thanks for the info Russ!

Today is sunny and windless and supposed to go to +5 (though I am listening to an Ottawa station and out here in the sticks we're usually 2 degrees warmer). Hoping for something today than just the few drips and drops out there now.

As an aside...this hobby is almost as frustrating as wildlife photography. You spend $$$ with good gear, go to where your subject is supposed to hang out, set up and wait...and wait...and wait...and then should the critter or bird or in question appear, it's either a) too far away for a good shot or b) too close or c) backlit, or d) has its backside to you or e) doing nothing but just sitting/standing there (generally you want to get a shot of critter/bird in action) or f)hiding behind some shrubs or trees...you get the idea.
