Mine have blurry wings, and they are at 1/800th. The thing is these little creatures are so fast, less than that, and you get motion blur. You want to freeze the bird, and maybe not the wings, so I found that 1/800 to 1/1000th is kind of the sweet spot.

OK, got it.

But if I am going to use 1/800, 1/1000, etc. then I am in strobe land-which is the old fashioned way!

Maybe that is what I should try.  Just do it the old fashioned way with a strobe set up.
