Wonderful photos, everyone. The juvenile eagle is particularly scary - are you lunch? Can I steal lunch from you?

1DX I, 100-400 II @400 mm, ISO 1600, f8, 1/2000.
Was lucky to have a day w/o salt spray so I could stand in the surf to shoot these. Played around w auto focus setting and settled on 5 and the IS set to mode 3. I'm not sure the IS is really helpful at this shutter speed - would appreciate comments on this.

falcnr, very nice. Were you near a nest? As a young and foolish preteen I once climbed a tree to a Redtail nest(egg collecting). Reflecting back I now realize I was lucky not to have received some nasty gashes.
I'm more or less certain that I'll have the camera by this fall (could have had one 2 days ago but I bumped myself to the back of the list, again). Never the less, I'm still reading every review/commentary with great interest. It would seem that the AF is simply the best with the exception perhaps of eye recognition/focus. Most rate AF as amazing.
It's a bit of extra effort but it would be quite helpful if you could indicate roughly the degree of cropping (or include uncropped), F stop, and shutter speed along with the lens, in this case 400.
I know I'm expecting a lot for free.
