Capture Bird Photos with Manual Exposure

Tree swallows at Nest Box Frenchtown, Montana Using manual exposure mode, I opened the aperture as wide as it would go to f/5.6. I set the shutter speed to 1/1000 second to freeze the active birds. And I selected 200 ISO to ensure a proper exposure. As a result, I shot a series of photos, all at the same exposure settings, allowing me to concentrate on the birds' activities.
