My only problem keeping hands still is there's this one tree where a couple of the raccoons love to hang out, literally, and the only lines of sight that get those sections clear need me to stand where there's no support or anything, except a low rope fence, and shoot at nearly the maximum (optical) zoom, so that it's a challenging shot even when the raccoons' faces aren't hidden by the many branches and leaves.
If I could get going earlier in the weekends I could catch nearly all the animals being fed -- they have a posted schedule and go at a reasonable walking pace -- but that'd mean me heading out around 10 am, which isn't going to happen.
You know, I hadn't thought of making coati-monkeys ...
