Such a challenge to capture in flight.

You got that right! I tried a while back on Tree swallows, but didn't fair too well.

Very nicely done! Definitely not an easy trick to pull off.

Thanks Zach. Your 7D2 and the 400 f/5.6 should make it a little easier.

Thanks Bob. The first time I tried to capture them I took 1200 shots. I think 2 or 3 came out. It takes a lot practice to get into the swing of keeping up with them. You then have to do a little practice to get your panning right every time you try to capture them.

They turn on a dime and leave change.
