(i had no idea how to stitch this together, so, the last one is my manual stitch attempt. any suggestions on how to do it better? the autostitch just wouldn't do it right.)
you did pretty good... but auto stitch is not for doing what your trying to do here... auto stitch is for panoramas ... on the same plane... tripod or very steady hand... but ... fun at any rate...
- Yep.... I can do that....

Yep, with the camera moving like this, it's tougher to do, but an interesting effect stitched manually like this. You could do something similar with a multiple exposure but it would be best to mount the camera on a tripod and not let it move in between the exposures. And, of course, the metering would be the trick - you could meter 1/3 on the background for each exposure and have it come right, but then you'd have some pretty ghostly birds. If you meter the birds right, you'll blow the background away. Maybe you could drape a huge black background behind him. ;-)

Nice bird shots. You might try taking a wide angle shot of the background after the bird had left, then place the birdie onto that. Or place each in a frame (simple black would be my choice) and place them as you did, that way exposures wouldn't matter so much. Keep trying, and try different styles/ideas, you should be able to come up with something that works for you.

Great job on catching a moving target. The last may not be stitching but its' a neat way of presenting it.
