BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Okay, only 40% BIF, but I think the sequence is worth it
I'd call it "On fishing". The fouth one is my fav

Same here! I really like your shots. Well done, Maximilian.

I hope it survived ! The forth is the best as a photo but third and fifth are the best to describe the action!
If I had to do this to keep myself alive I would be dead after the first attempt...

Quetzal?!!!! From what I see it is the Resplendent Quetzal...
Post more of the birds around you PLEASE!!! I don't care about the quality of the photos - its just a window to another world!

I hope it survived !

Of course, it did
I didn't see anything in the beak. So I suppose the bird didn't get anything that time.
But it was really fascinating to watch this hunt so close to the beach.
I was only expecting to get some "normal" BIF.

That's why I kept and posted the whole sequence.

A yellow-legged gull (larus michahellis) tries to have a nap, is disturbed by a snorkelling tourist and can only escape.

Liftoff! Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, Utah.

I am once again complaining that I have to downsample my photos to post them to a photography forum....

Cataloging some images and I ran across this one that I thought was interesting, from a trip to Mexico earlier this year.

M50 - Sigma 18-300mm
1/1600 - ISO 640 @ f7.1

I just picked up an R5 and am playing around with its faster than my 5DMIV fps and focus abilities. This is my first attempt at hummingbird photos, and wow! The improvement is amazing. While I expected this, it is a joy to use.

 

[Noreaster]

Still getting used to new lens.
