Both pics are very good, Aaron - but the first one - with the dragonfly catch - you have really nailed the focus: top quality image!

Great shots - love the capture of the wingspan! And I'm jealous that you are where you see see (and get close to shoot) this majestic bird

Amazing shots - focus is spot on! You took these with an 800mm lens?? Are you using a monster solid tripod? Or some sort of camera bean bag? Whatever - extraordinary results.

Another from the CRC - if you are ever plan to be in Southern Ontario, the conservancy is located just outside of Simcoe, and when not constrained by COVID stay at home orders etc, they do educational seminars for ~$65 CAD and will introduce you to 10 or so birds over a 2 hr period.
