To me there is nothing more graceful and beautiful than a bird in flight especially a Bald Eagle.

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).

As far as secrets for little bird BIFs-it just takes lots and lots of practice and a great deal of luck. The problem with LBJs is more often than not they are in a dark environment and it is extremely hard to keep your shutter speed up. In the winter I will raise the ISO some to compensate but no matter what camera you use, I use a Nikon D850, you will still get noise.
Thank you so very much everyone for looking at my photos and have a good Holiday. (as good as you can with the pandemic)
