One of the Osprey's at Lake Jennings picked up a trout and then flew right over us.

That is an amazing shot, ERHP! Very cool 8)

WOW look at those talons!

Great shot EHRP. Did you crop off the wingtips or did he overfill the frame?

The shorteared owls got a little closer. Ari Hazeghi writes that the 5DIV + 400mm DO II + 2xTC is too slow focussing for other than slow moving birds against a blue sky. Some 50% of my shots were ok for these flying low and fast against a background. All 100% crops at f/8, 1/1600 s and auto iso (~640-1250).

Great Pic! Nice spec too.

Thanks All! AlanF, at this point the osprey had begun to overfill and I decided to crop just a bit more to emphasis the fish and also remove a few light spots at the tops of the trees. This one also had the best perspective on the trout. When I went back through the entire sequence from liftoff to being practically in my face, the osprey looked like it was dancing on a hoverboard(B2TF) for roughly 8-10 seconds based on the number of shots taken.

Lovely. Nicely done, Cog.

+1, nice grouping. I only see them here on lawns with little metal wires coming out of their feet and they never fly!

Thank you, guys! It was very cloudy so the picture is a little dull. But the micro 4/3 system worked well.

Lovely picture. Hopefully in two weeks I will be able to shoot flamingo too.

Here is one taken by my wife using 5DS R + 100-400 II + 1.4xTC of a shorteared owl in the golden hour, which has transformed its colours.

As I have just posted one of my wife's shots, here is another one of hers, this time with the 100-400mm II on the 7DII, of flamingos in Cyprus, to show what a grandmother with a Canon can do.
