Excellent shots! What gear did you use and what time of the day was it?

 

[Jack Douglas]

Getting to see them and shoot them is a thrill but getting that quality of shots takes it a notch higher. Wow.

[FramerMCB]

Very nice images! Lucky you - not in the quality of the photos, because your skill/knowledge shows, but rather in the sighting of these two! And thanks for sharing with us.

It will be interesting to see if he answers your questions - I don't recall him ever coming back after posting to answer. He is very good.

Probably his 600mm and 7d2 or 5d4. With a little fill flash.

Feeling my face getting red and my eyes wet... What else to say?

You can check by downloading and checking the exif information was still attached.

The last image:

7DII, 840 mm, 1/400, f/8 ISO 320

The dimensions could compressing during processing, cropping or both, but it is 1,490 x 997.

If Glenn does come back around....excellent work....

So 600 with the 1.4x

Wow!
Great shots...
Thanks for uploading these images.

So 600 with the 1.4x

On a crop body, yes. 1,344 mm equivalent on FF. But, for that resolution, even with cropping, quick guess 30-50 yards away.
