The importance of a fast shutter speed ...

I was preparing to delete this photo when I wondered, what's that white thing toward the bottom? Is it the full moon way off in the distance? Gasp! No! It's crow poopage! (Pronounced poo-PAHJ.) Apparently one needs a shutter speed of 1/800 second to freeze crow doo-doo in mid-flight. You may wish to make a note.
