I'm still trying to learn how to use this autofocus system and the long lens, but the keeper rate is starting to get better

Very nice series, MartinH. I especially like the second picture. Well done.

Thanks Click! The 10fps framerate came in handy for this one. Even though I had to crop quite a bit in post, 600mm on a crop sensor would have been better. Please click on the picture to have a look at it on Flickr page, the linked thumbnail looks really crappy... don't know why

Great catch on the bluebird, Northbird!

I was at Lee-Metcalf NWR all morning/early afternoon and heading back to the truck to grab a late lunch when I heard a pair of Sandhill Cranes in the field to the left, who took off several moments after I had passed. Snow capped Bitterroot range in the background.

Hi Vern.
Good to see that you didn't have to contend with beautiful clear blue skies for all your shots! ;D

Hi Northlight.
Fabulous shot of the Bluebird, stunning colour.

Lots of other great shots from all, thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Graham.

A lot of great images lately. Keep posting!

This is technically not In Flight, but this mute swan sure shows some impeccable footwork

Here's an oystercatcher from my recent trip to Scotland. No cropping, just some vignette to make him punch a bit more.

More like bird in FRIGHT, rather than FLIGHT,

The Coot started it, the Egret finished it with his Count Dracula pose

very cool capture Eldar - looks like flight to me
I saw a short piece in Nature on the mating display of the Grebes - also involves running on water.

Caught this female Western Bluebird in the first milliseconds of flight.
