Love them, so sweet. We have them in Alberta but I never see them.

Jack , We now have a good season in Belgium, it is a rare species here. It is the first time after so many years we see them .There is a location where they regularly hunt for sunset .A good year with lots of prey.

PiNo, Belgium! I wish I could come there and have a day with you where they are. Do you have much "wilderness"?
Believe it or not I have one on a shelf I mounted about 50 years ago when I was a teen enthused about taxidermy. It was road kill given to me.

applecider, hard to top that, especially the first one! What are your thoughts about the dark background that often results from flash?

I rather like the dark background as IMO it lets the bird pop. If it was in a flower bed then the flashes could be angled to let it show or another flash could be used as a background light, maybe there would be enough daylight.
I amazes me that even 4000 shutter speed can only just begin to freeze their wings. It should also be noted that at these shutter speeds it's all high speed sync.
My goal is to try to catch a hummer eating a midge or whatever tiny insects they catch, that is a difficult set up.

Thanks for your observations, applecider.
For those of you have followed my posts a bit you'll recall my May adventure to Haida Gwaii (previously Queen Charlotte Islands). I have just done a blog for tourism, focused on Copper Bay and the eagles - take a peek.

Thanks Krob78. Having sold the 1D4 I'm back to the 6D and BIF certainly is not its strong point. Now, I'm biding my time since the 1D4 went in order for the 1DX2 to become a reality. I simply grew to like some pro features and couldn't bring myself to accept the 7D2 although it clearly is serving its customers very well.
CR has been indispensable to me in climbing the learning curve and comments such as yours and many others have really helped me persist.
