I use a Nikon D850 with a Sigma 150/600C lens. The distance to the subject varies greatly ,the closer the better, but they are usually traveling at about Mach 5 so it is always a challenge. The secret to BIF/DIF photos is to use AFC and back button focus. You can tell when it locks on but it all happens in the blink of an eye which is what makes it so much fun. I would like to thank everyone for looking at my photos and your comments. Stay safe and healthy and take at least one shot a day. (I mean photo but whatever floats your boat).

Pintail shot is excellent - reminds me of a Robert Bateman image... very nice!

lrjames - I love your series!! I also like how you listed the duck photos at the beginning. I definitely don't know my ducks so appreciate how you ID them!
