BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Hi Alan, could you post the uncropped 1455? I think it might make a neat desktop background if the saturation was tuned up on the blue a bit and the birds were cropped to the upper right 1/3 corner, depending on what the sky is like. I like pictures like that with a big amount of blue sky, most people think its boring but i find the gradient of colour in blue sky very captivating.

Here are all 4 uncropped but reduced to 1200x800. If you tell me which one you want and what size, I'll either post it or give you a link to download it.

ps they were circling each other and maneuvering like the Red Baron and his foe in WWI over France.

wow, after seeing these I might have to investigate the tamron a little more.

I like the first one, sparrowhawk 1455.

here's a couple more BIF (barely) the eagles were having a huge feud over some fish heads, the adults would gang up and chase off the juvies, and then turn on each other for the prime chunks.

Nice ones, Logan. Here is the one you want close to the highest resolution CR allows to upload.
