Nice pictures, cute little guy/girl.

Did you have to use AF.C?

By this point all was frantic.  My great 150-450 had broken in half  But I still had the ever reliable 55-300 F4.5-6.3, almost always with a 1.4.  I normally set the camera to TAV and then selected an appropriate speed and F/  That was about all I could cope with.  My fingers were crossed, and it really worked out quite well.  So, so glad I brought the back-up lens.  It performed over and above the call of duty!

I think you interrupted the sloth's lunch. Excellent pictures.
