The juvenile bald eagles and ravens often play in the air near Whitehorse, Yukon. The ravens do not play with adult eagles though.

one - flying in formation

two - wonder what was on the raven's mind here

It is a good exercise in capturing birds in flight. This play moves fast, and panning while handholding a 400mm is good for keeping sharp with the shutter. With the 7D I prefer one-shot rather than AI Servo - haven't found a setting with AI Servo that can follow the action well enough.
