Excellent job scyrene. They are very difficult and fast. If you can get them when they head into the wind and control your lens you have the greatest chance for success IME.

Thanks! That's absolutely right - sometimes they will fly into a headwind and hang motionless for a moment or two.

Zone-tailed Hawk. Not a rare bird over its distribution, which includes much of Latin America, but pretty uncommon in the U.S. I photographed this one in a remote canyon in the mountains of southern Arizona.

Great egret - 1D X +300 f/2.8 IS II + 2x III, handheld - I yanked it off the tripod while shooting an owl and caught this bird in the first light of the day with the sun just above the horizon. An osprey with fish came a few minutes later but I wasn't fast enough! f/6.3 1/2000s ISO 3200:

Some great pics on this thread.

Here is my first submission to the forum from my first trip out with my 70d. It was considerably more successful than the same trip the previous year with my 650d.
