Wow, real nice set but the last one gets the nod from me, the background really makes a difference.
Well done on catching one of these little rockets.

Congrats, those are so difficult for me to capture. Usually by the time I see them, they're long gone!

Dang, I can't even catch one sitting, and they fly all around you. I know, you called them in. LOL
Very nice coverage of a very elusive bird.

Excellent shots. How are you liking the 5D3 for bird shots?

Thanks, I am carrying more 5D3 these days for birding since AF is really good and lighter compared with 1D4 and at 700mm, if the birds are too small for 5D3, it will be too small for 1D4 as well.
