Chris, Excellent gallery! I love shooting these birds of prey! I too have a D70, and invite you to look at (and comment as you see fit) on my images at: http://www.pbase.com/ncturner/raptors I had a heck of a time with the shots where the bird was behind a cage....were any of your shots like that? If so, how'd you get around it? Mine turned out ok, but some left a bit of a 'haze' in front, from the cage wire/mesh. Again, great job! Greg
