    Thanks for all of your comments!

    @echoyjeff I only shoot handheld. The Tamron is the lightest of the consumer 500mms...

    Nice set. I checked your Flickr pictures some nice captures especially the Osprey with the fish. I got some Osprey pictures last week that look very similar.

    @msnowy Thanks! I love Osprey's they are one of the coolest raptors imho. I have so many Osprey shots, but I just can't seem to stop shooting them. I'm still trying to get the Osprey coming out of the water straight at me with a fish..

    @echo If you click through to my flickr all the exif is there, But for these four, 1/400, 1/1600, 1/800 and 1/1600

    I shoot in aperture priority, with auto iso set at 1/1600th max iso 800. It's almost like magic manual mode. I pretty much try to be ready for flying birds...

    Saturday I found out that we have Ospreys and Hawks in the neighborhood. And Sunday I spotted two but they were out of my reach .
    Of course I will try again.. Wish me luck!

    @primo, be careful it becomes very addicting... First you just want an osprey picture, then you want an osprey with a fish, then you want an osprey grabbing the fish. Then you want a faster camera and a bigger lens.. It never ends Have fun and good luck.

    Thanks for the heads up Kris but don't you think it's a bit too late?
    Last Sunday (cloudy) I spent 6 hours in the park going up and down hoping to get another glimps.
    And after checking you out on flickr, I have even bigger plans for this Sunday.. so, thanks again.

    BTW.. I checked out the lens already...
