BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Wisconsin Eagles, they are everywhere around here now! We have a lot of them all year but in the winter when the northern ones come down it is a joy to see so many.

Glad you have many of these wonderful animals out there. The abundance of predators is a sign that there is enough food (prey).

they have made a huge comeback, they are sensitive to water quality and especially DDT which was banned. Now they are a common but extraordinary sight.

Thanks Viper28, candyman and CarlTN!

@candyman: Yes it is quite incredible what the 5D3 auto focus is capable of when correctly configured.

Yes, it is VERY impressive. I had heard that the 5Diii is starting to become a pretty good wildlife camera, and many of the wildlife photographer of the year photos were taken on one. So much so, I am seroiusly considering upgrading to one, but have heard tat the autofocus can be a bit tricky.

Cervantes, could you please spill the beans on how one can configure the autofocus to get shots like this?

cheers,
