Re: Birds 2014
A flock? Somewhat atypical shooting for me.

Re: Birds 2014
Interesting looking birds Sury, I wonder what they are? I especially like the second shot with the flock in context of the landscape 
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

Re: Birds 2014
Great shot Sury, good to see some flocks of shorebirds surviving the onslaught of civilization, they could be a Sandpiper of some kind, maybe the Willet; I’m not familiar with the American names. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willet

Re: Birds 2014
Thank you Andy and Greg. Greg you could be right. This is the closest crop I have since these were far away
and I was going wide to get all of them.

Nice shots Sury! We don't have the pelicans yet, but the hawks and the geese already here.

Re: Birds 2014
Valery, thank you. I think it is 80% 70-400 lens and 20% me not withstanding the
adage, camera (or lens) is just a tool. I will try the same technique with my Sigma
200-500 and see how well I do before changing my view on camera/lens being a mere
tool.
Kenneth,
I learned how to shoot birds in flight literally and figuratively on this forum.
Folks here are sensitive, honest and take time to provide their input not to mention
an occasional ribbing (I get about my sensors).

It's been a while since I visited PCA and my what have I missed a lot of great birdshots! Seriously great images!
Shot these of a Chrested Grebe a few weeks ago. He was a bit of a show-off when I was observing him. Great moment! All shot with the a580 + 70-400G1 on a monopod.
