Birds in flight! Post 'em!

I managed to capture a few hummingbirds today. I'm afraid I intend on inflicting them upon you all! (But I promise only in two photos at a time) I would love to have the cropping power of an A1 or 7RV, but the A9 paired with the 200-600 manages to pull through. (These were cropped to 11x14 in. at 301dpi before being resized for the web)

Terrific captures of the Sandhill Cranes in flight, Joe!

Outstanding capture of the Red-shouldered Hawk with a Brown Bat, Paul! I wonder if they consume very many bats? I would think they don't.

great BIF --Mike--I like the intensity you've captured in the eyes of the swallow.

Thanks for the compliment Mike.
That particular Hawk likes to perch on a nearby fencepost, waiting for Bats that drop to the ground at this parks Bat enclosure.

Great capture of your fast flying Tree Swallow Mike.
