_MG_2064 Finally...

a SHARP bird in flight! If you've never tried shooting birds in flight, you don't know how much practice it takes to snag a sharp image! I had the camera in high speed continuous drive for this one and have a few others that look sharp too. Will work on them soon. I now know why there are so many people with huge lenses parked around these wildlife refuges! Capturing images like these is a huge challenge and you have to throw out a heck of alot of shots.

Canon EOS 40D
1/2000s f/10.0 at 400.0mm iso640 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Wonderful shot Isabel. I see where this one is starting to get the mating plumage. I just returned from Louisiana where the full plumage is out in early February and they are activiely mating and nest building. Good job at a difficult task. Kudos.
