Thanks guys for the comments. This was where my practice of shooting birds in flight paid off. I tracked these two as they started their maneuvers off to my right, then had the camera in rapid fire mode as they came zooming past. I was also lucky that we such a perfect day. They weren't allowed to fly the previous day, as the surface winds exceeded 25 mph and they fly so close to each other. I have another shot I'll put in pending, where they came at each other at very high speeds, and I got a shot with both in the frame.
