BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Wow, some really excellent in-flight shots here! Love the dueling eagles and chicken bandit shots. Terrific owl and other in flight shots as well.

Immature Bald Eagle, Mississinewa Reservoir Indiana.
5DsR, EF 300 f/2.8 II with 2xiii extender, f/5.6 1/1,250, ISO160. Handheld.

I'm planning to get a 500 f/4 II later this year, until then I'm getting along pretty well with my 300 II and extenders and generally a fair amount of cropping.

These are a couple of older photos from when I first got back into photography a couple of years ago.

Not the greatest but I was pretty damn happy(and still am) considering they were taken on an entry level canon.

Great Gray Owl.
I got a nice in flight shot but the background was horrible. I used a background from a different shot but same location. I wish this could have been an unmodified shot but this is all I could get.I figured since it had been photoshoped i might as well add a little snow since it did snow that day.

Great shot with the first one!
Gear is nice, but technique and luck are more important. You did well.
