I like the 3rd the best, they just seem to sail by with ease. Looks like you are having some nice weather in Maryland, thanks Bob

Lovely BIFs. Very sharp. Thanks for sharing these.

Thanks Susan. These are my first BIF shots. Very exciting.

I myself found focusing the birds very difficult. I typically shoot with center point focus (because of no focus points in VF) but that made the BIF shooting almost impossible. The bird had to be in center of the frame all the time to maintain focus.

Then I switched to the 11-point focus and it worked wonders. It became so easy to track those fast moving birds. Now I have my green button set to switch between center point and 11-point focus.
