How to get that amazing shotof birds and other wild animals.

To hold a camera steady and have it focusedon the exact spot and time a bird will slow to catch a branch with its claws while its wings are spread wide or to snap that picture just as the momma bird places the food into the mouth of her hungry babies is sheer genius or maybe not. 

What I have been doing its setting my movie camera up, focusing on a particular spot and let the camera roll from its perch on a tripod.  I then doenload the movie, and isolate a frame witha noteworthy shot and then using my snapshot function I capture that frame.
