That is a very nice image.....if that was your first try at BIF you indeed did well to get one good image in 50. Keep 'em coming!

You did it again...very cool...your birds must really hold their heads still when hovering

From early this morning....looks like it will be bright sun today which is not good for my back yard photography but I got a few early before the shade disappears

The shots on this thread continue to amaze me.... I have nothing comparable, but I did recently get the new 100-400 and have been trying to get a few bird pictures lately. Specifically, a couple hawks (?) have taken up residence in the area around my house. I've sort of made it my goal to get a good picture of one of these in flight, but it is tough! Here is one of the better one's I've gotten so far:

By the way, I think this is some sort of hawk, but I'm not sure what type. Any help with ID would be appreciated!
