Here's another eagle from my Alaska trip last November. Handheld with the 500mm (my arms are still sore from that one!)

And a barred owl (captive) from the Houston Owl Festival last month. I think this shot really shows off the capabilities of the 100-400 lens.

Thanks, it took me about 2 years to get to 1000, so I had to step up the pace. ;) Congrats on your 1000, BTW!

Congrats on your 2000th. Most appropriate! Absoulute cracker. I got my very first Bald Eagle last week, boy I've got a long way to go.
