    Cool capture, Al. When birds go at it like this, it's very difficult to get a pleasing image. Usually the angles and positions of the birds just don't look good. You have managed to capture a moment where it all comes together nicely. Great action shot.

    Jim the one thing that help most of all was using the 200-400 lens I was fairly tight and when the birds took off I was able to zoom out !!! Love that lens .... and btw with the converter is a 1025 weighing just over seven pounds Not bad for HH !!!

    I love it but wish that the bird with its back to us had its wings spread too. I was too tight with the 400 DO so I am envious of the 200-400. Later and love, artie
