real man flight shot

getting close but not good enough

Get yourself some tree trimmers, Jeff. Cut offf those darn limbs...they just get in the way. Liftin' that 300mm is probably rough on you old timers. Them little birds are much more difficult than those old big white ones. If I could see them little things..mabye I could capture them. If Steve sends me his 500mm I'll give it a shot at the hand held BIF thing.

Great capture Jeff of a very difficult subject. I hope everyone knows how tiny those birds are and, how fast they are moving. You have done very well.

Great shot, Jeff. I like the crispness of #1. Gosh, I need some kind of better lens. I'm so jealous.

Indeed, it's a tough call tracking these little guys.
This here was just one of the few lucky shots.


Thanks Jeff, glad to be part of the gang.
