Thanks Ralph! I had just learned "back focus" and was amazed that I got the camera on the bird. I "bumped" focus like crazy then held everything down. I got 4 sharp head frames. I was in shock!Very Cool!!

We get these very beautiful, graceful, flocks of American Pelicans circling over head fairly frequently, How do you take a photo like this? Just took this one a few minutes ago looking into a bright sky
D850, 200-500mm
F/7.1 1/1000" ISO64

Magnificent photo, but are you sure it's an Eagle? The dark feather "girdle" around the body, the "slats" on the forewings, and the tail color could belong to an immature Red Tailed Hawk, according to Sibley. If I am wrong, apoogies!

Yep..Very nice Neil.
I recognize that tree & pond. I can't tell if these are Harriet or M15, but I do recognize them.They were REALLY busy this season, with two hatch sessions. I saw recently that thy are already working on the nest for the next round! Incredible.
Looks like this will be the 1st year in the last 7 that we have not been able to visit the area. :-/
M15 on top, a shor in late 19. The one of Harriet leaving the pond is 3 years old I think. Yes...very busy this past season. We lived in our RV 12-20 and spent the winters here so saw them every year. Bought a house in Magnolia Landing in NFM up US-41 and off the road now.

First and only shot on a fairly miserable grey day. This kestrel sped past at head height before climbing to hover against the grey sky when I discovered dust on the AF sensor (now sorted thanks to @Steve). Shame about the busy background

I know how fast these guys can travel. What country are you in? It looks different to our Nankeen Kestrel (Australia). I once had close encounter (further back in this thread). Took me back to that day. Great capture!

That looks like what we call a Prairie Falcon here in the Western US.

Hopefully this doesn't make the climbers nervous.

Good callI was belaying my wife up a climb when about six of these started circling around the top of the rock. I decided not to mention it to her
