You are observant to notice my error of file name. :-) I do know the
difference but in selecting file name didn't think. A problem I have
more these days <g>

Interesting story about the ant. Don't finches eat ants?

As to the quality of the photo. An old friend of mine is such a
fantastic bird photographer that I strive for sharpness to come close
to his abilities and have a tendency to think all photos that are not
absolutely in focus are bad. Perhaps you know the work of my friend
Doug Herr. If not you may be interested in his website:
