Some species of the birds make difficult subjects to track and capture, I find this extremely challenging especially when using a fixed focal length telephoto lens.
Most of these images are taken using the D500 and some with the D850 fitted with the 300 f4E and TC 1.4E III. All hand held, they move too fast to catch from a tripod.

I don't call his work luck, but skill. One heck of a job. I can have a problem tracking a train.

Considering the size and speed of these subjects I would say talent not luck created these images. Luck comes most frequently to those who are prepared!
