I went up tp Boundry Bay in British Columbia yesterday in search of the gyrfalcon that hes been hanging out there. I struck out finding it but did have close encounters with 3 different peregrines and many bald eagles. These are images from a flight sequence using the 1D Mark III and 500mm f4.

Thanks for your comments everyone. It would have been nice to have a dramatic sky as a background for these shots but some things we can't control.
