Just heard what the challenge subject is for May and just happen to be photographing wild birds in my backyard...hence, no problem of submitting two pics taken yesterday. The pics aren't technically very good but they show motion!

First pic is of a departing red-bellied woodpecker...sorry for the tail shot:-)

In the process of figuring out how to shoot these fast movers, I was only using a shutter speed of 1/160 of a second. Seeing this shot, I went to 1/250th next.

This pic normally wouldn't be used by me but seems to fit the challenge???
