A couple of osprey shots
Please feel free to critique. The series was done watching an osprey swoop down on a baseball field and hitting the edge of the grass as if fishing. The technique appeared to be the same, I like the ground picture which seems to show the two toes facing front and two in back which I understand to be an ability unique to osprey.
All shots at 600mm with a EF300mm f/2.8L IS II USM +2x III and all cropped about 50%
First photo f 5.6 1/2500 iso 1600, second 5.6 1/2000 iso 1600, third 5.6 1/2000 iso 1600

Flying Squirrel~ Not a great image by any means, I didn't even see it coming, just happened to have my camera in my hands so tried to capture it in an instant. Was shooting static images so I really wasn't ready for this and no time to change settings... Anyway, just kind of a fun or interesting shot, depending on your perspective!

Swallow Tailed Kite with mouse~ Okay, another not so great image! It's interesting though, in the short series of images I was able to grab as this one swooped down and flew around as I was just getting home, I learned that Swallow Tailed Kites have no issue eating their prey as they fly! Who knew? I pull into McDonalds for an egg McMuffin for breakfast and keep driving, he flew into my neighbors yard for a McMouse breakfast and kept on flying. He flew around for only a short time, but he ate a good portion of it while he was flying!
