Hi wickedwombat.
Post what you have, then if I post too we might just be good enough to be moral support for each other! :-[
Or perhaps we should start a posting for anyone not comfortable posting their pics here! 8) Perhaps call it "Amateur hour BIF" or perhaps you can come up with a better name. ;D
Let's just post here and show these other folks what they are up against! : :-[

Cheers Graham.

Hi Don.
Not as fierce but just as great.

Cheers Graham.

Not quite as fierce as Gary's eagles.....

Snowy Owl - take-off from some dunes, - shot from the beach - Martha's Vineyard
Canon 60D - 100-400mm
ISO225, 235mm, f/7.1, 1/2000 handheld, manual, - center focus

I was sneaking up on this snowy when he took off. Luckily I had a second to refocus and shoot. I was very surprised it came out well.

I'm sure that some may not like the wings being clipped in the image but I really love it! What a great image, they are so beautiful! By the time I get back up to the Cape this year, they'll already be gone! Hope you can grab some more soon! Really nice!

Thanks for the kind words. I like it also

The wings are clipped as the bird flew right at me, they are clipped in the original image.

I was trying for extreme closeup pictures. A sculptor is doing a statue of a snowy and I have been supplying him picts. I will post the super closeups on the bird portraits pages. I was trying to visually answer the questions, what is the snowy "Mask", and do Snowy Owls have ears.

Anybody care to venture a guess as to what happened to the birds in flight in this image?

Lapwings in flight
1/5000, f/5.6, iso640, 300mm f/2.8 II + 2xTC, 5DIII
Full frame compressed to 2400x1600.

It is remarkable that all of the lapwings are in focus. This where my 300mm combo beats my Tamron 150-600 as it sharp across the whole frame at 600mm.

OK I'll bite
When's a reflection not a reflection?..... when the source is missing

The only solution I've come up with is that the UFO on the far left has death rayed the lower bird and is levitating it up to the mother ship to perform some hiddious experiments on the poor thing.

....... that might be wrong ???
