I agree with tcthome, faster lenses will focus faster in general and a fast lens stopped down will focus a bit slower.
Another reason to go for the fastest lens you can afford and want to carry since faster lenses are also heavier!
Jerry,
Thank you for all your posts with humor! I enjoy them all!

I have seen that long telephotos with zoom capabilities seem to focus more slowly since the internal glass is heavier perhaps or the autofocus motors are not strong enough. Look for faster focusing in reviews and you will see that the autofocus drive systems are not all the same. The faster ones are called various things, but usually it is apparent which lenses put a priority on this, usually the more expensive ones!
What is the range on the Rusty Blackbird? Have never seen one in the east.
Forget my ID, the eyes are definitly not Bluebird eyes which are all black!
If its smaller than a robin, I think its a female Eastern Bluebird. Of course, ignore this suggestion if you are in the Western US.
Thank you, I hadn't heard about this and do have some Sony Tough spec cards to check!
I also use it and like the way it integrates with Apple Photos which I use primarily. You can edit in Affinty and save back to Photos.
Beautiful! My favorite bird! Thanks for posting!
That was very quick! In my locale most places you could get the vaccine are booked solid and not taking any more reservations at the moment.
The Sony 90 mm macro is excellent. The Sigma macros are also very good!
They love open meadows and nesting boxes. I dont know a food you could put out, I think they primarily eat insects.
Saw the number of Bluebirds locally increasing a lot this week. Captured this pair a couple of days ago with my Sigma 100-400 Contemporary on a Leica SL2. The female is shy!
