So good to see a hummingbird that knows how to fly, which means I'm liking the motion blur.
Pondrader I've seen on this year, me stuck 4 feet underground in a well house trying to figure out
why I didn't have water.

Im not sure about the water tightness of the a7rIII so take the a9 in there ... It may fair better.  :p lol

I really like catching them just stepping off into flight. That first 10 seconds or so after they step off.

Every time I point my camera at a Great Blue I think.......'I got a million pictures of Great Blu...............clic​k..click..click..click​....:rolleyes:

Who cares? They're still a pretty bird.

If I were those duck I would have been a little worried.

Bjarne Hemmingsen wrote in post #18683194 (external link)
I had the same thought. I have never seen a Bald Eagle in action, but the sight of the similar "Danish" White-tailed Eagle will get all birds in the neighborhood on their wings trying to escape…;o))

avondale87 wrote in post #18683204 (external link)
That is amazing. Beautifully captured.
Fascinating how those ducks seem oblivious to the carnage happening nearby.

Thank you!
The ducks should definitely be worried, as I have seen bald eagle bringing back mallards as food for eaglets in the nest.

Thank you, Robert!

Thank you, Archi! They did not know better, ignorance is bliss I guess.

Shalu...The eagle in this case, picked the fish over the ducks, because the fish have high levels of omega-3 and far less cholesterol. This is just my theory.  :p
