As I was driving on to the parking lot on the West end of Pensacola Beach Florida on the bay side I saw this Sparrow enjoying a snack with of some Sea Oaks. I new I would never be able to get out the SUV before the bird would have flown away. I aways have a camera on the seat next to me. So I grabbed my Sony A7RM4 that had the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS lens attached and actually shot through the front windshield. Not sure what I would get but I wanted to give it try. I ended up with a fairly good image. Camera setting with this handheld shot were 1/3200 sec at f/2.8, ISO 100. Point here is aways be ready to capture that shot. Cheers and be safe.
