Unfortunately, that image is truly a snapshot - taken on a tripod, looking over a "no trespassing" chain-link fence and at 810mm equivalent. Those birds were extremely far away. The image is already heavily cropped to get the result you see. So, something to keep my eye out for the next time I'm there and hope for an improved setting and closer view! ;)

To me, it is too much of a picture - yet, I would love to see the bird (bottom right) enlarged with its own portion of background - I feel the result would be a terrific picture.
