Not thrilled with the background as there was some sandy areas among the grass, but I like it even in spite of this :)
Nikon D300, 500 AFS~VR, ISO 800, F 5.6, 1/4000, NearUniWB preset, CW metering, EV compensation +.3
The reason for the high ISO was that one minute it was sunny and one minute cloudy...and, as I was shooting these birds really close, the subject to camera flyby speed was pretty darned fast.
I didn't blur the heck out of the background...it was a fair distance behind the bird and it was really windy which helped diffuse it's detail even more.
Comments are always appreciated.
