thanks edu air-tango.... you see tango, I see something else and I am soooooo NOT going to comment. ;D Incredible capture and of course.. timing, and luck ;D I just can't remember right now but a golfing legend once said "Golf is a sport of luck. The more I practice, the luckier I get" I think it applies to birding too.

yes i think seeing it as a tango is the subtle way of looking at it hehehe i agree with you that luck = perfect timing.....and 1 way of getting lucky is to shoot and shoot and shoot cheers

Nothing special about my shot. But as I view this image. I was thinking how I take a lot for granted. This image was an example. How serene peaceful. Yet an hour or two ago. Behind the silhouette of the trees are the bustling town of Port Coquitlam that I passed by every day on my way to work....and where I am standing is a 5 minute drive from my home...and 20 minute drive from here is the metropolitan city of Vancouver. Out here, we can still take a picture of birds without having to go to the zoo, or take a picture of a bird whose leg is chained to her perch, or pay to see a trainer demonstrate the skills he or she had taught her raptor. How fortunate for me to see them flying at will. Freedom to go wherever they wish, without being harassed by poachers or hunters (well at least in most areas). On the other hand, I just really want to post this shot ;D ;D ;D image has been PP'd

Wow!! At first when the photo was still loading, as it usually does from top to bottom, I thought I was looking at a seascape where the geese were being chased by a huge tsunami wave. Awesome timing on this one Jun!!

I think it's time to revive this thread. Plus I think my images are too noisy for closer inspection ;D I think these are Merlins according to their smaller size" 1/4000 f5.6 ISO250 EF100-400 IS 1/6400 f5.6 ISO500 EF100-400 IS 1/4000 f5.6 ISO500 EF100-400 IS Northern Flicker 1/5000 f5.6 ISO800 EF100-400 IS 1/5000 f5.6 ISO800 EF100-400 IS
