Here is the sneak attack that caused the burrowing owl to jump. You can still see part of the attacker's wing in the background.

Nice work on this mallard in flight shot, Shalu. They sure are starting to loose their pretty winter colors.

Great shot, Bill! Looks like you might not need the A9? :-P :lol: Have you compared your keeper rate for BIF between the two? Some of my friends have both, and they say A9 AF acquisition is much faster and tracking is way better.

Thank you. No, I haven't compared yet since I'm really just beginning to feel my way around the a9. I am taking both to the coast tomorrow so we shall see.

This is a strikingly good shot of a mocker in flight, Bill...most definitely not easy to do.
