Great White Heron/Egret in Flight

Very dreary day outside. Snapped this with my 5D Mark II and a 100-400L. Trying to decide if I should get rid of the 5D or the 7D. I should probably dump both and go back to a 1D Mark IV. Unfortunately, I just bought a 70-200 2.8 IS II so funds aren't there. Anyway, back to birds

Jason, isn't shooting birds, especially birds in flight, way easier with the 7D than with the 5D? I haven't shot with either camera, but I understand that the AF on the 7D is superior to the AF on the 5D.
Anyway, these are fine BIFs. Well done.

nicely done Jason

It is easier with the 7D, but I don't find it greatly easier.

very nice shots, especially with that sky, I say keep them both, you never know.

I departed with both of them and just went back to a 1D Mark IV. The price is hard to swallow, but the images are easy on the eyes

Interesting. And food for thought...
