Thanks for viewing/comments! ... tight crop to see better details .. may give some of

you claustrophobia, lol!

Tm,

All I can say is WOW!.  This is a great BIF shot.  With the tight crop you see lots of detail including the eye which is tack-sharp.  Bravo!

Thanks Bill! I was shooting American Wigeon duck taking off and notice all the loud sound of commotion. A glance out of view finder and I can see a glimpse of the Northern Harrier flying after all the birds ... I continue shooting and got about 5,6 good shot of the Harrier. It would have been better if I had shot with just the 500mm lens (without the 1.4x TC III) but I am still lucky to get him with a glance back like this.

If you ever go to SoCal, let me know so I can at least give you some infor. on where to shoot. Greetings from SoCal!

At every posting you raise your standard of excellence.  This is outstanding... Mike

An excellent result with impressive lighting and details, Tm!

Spectacular!  I'm not much of a birder, but maybe I could be if I could get shots like this!  

Beautiful and very sharp photo TmJ, well done! BR.

Fabulous capture considering you had your attention occupied already! What an amazing bird.

Thanks Mr Mancil! You are very kind to me  :-)

Thanks Rudd!

Grazie Mille Giangiorgio!

Thanks Christal! I get lucky now and then when the bird gets close  :-)

Muito Abrigado Joao!

Thanks Gail!
