Came across this Eastern Kingbird hunting for insects this morning. He'd perch on some reeds or cattails, launch into a sort of figure 8 flight pattern and come back with a mouthful of bugs. Managed to capture this image as he came in to land with his latest catch.

Fantastic job with a manual focus lens!
I shot with the 600mm f/5.6 P lens and then the 600mm f/4 AIS lens prior to my first long AF lenses and that Nikon manual focus glass is really amazing. In today's technology arms race I think a lot of photographers overlook the value presented by these older lenses. The optical designs are superb and with practice an awful lot of great images can be captured with a good manual focus lens. But great job demonstrating that it can even work for small birds in flight which is a really tough subject with any camera.

Thanks, it's hard to get them on a good perch. Every time I see them they're in the shadows and in the brush.Beautiful Shot!
