Birds From Today

I took off work early today after four hours, then I went for a bike ride down the Katy Trail. Here are some pictures I took.

I cut off part of his wing.

+1!! I love bird photography, but raptors own a special place in my heart, they are majestic. Just spotted a nest with a couple of Ospreys! You can bet where I'll be spending my sunny days!!
Too bad you cut the wing on #1, but other than that, very nice!!

Nice sharp images with good light. Shame about cutting the wing off in the first. Were you using a prime lens for this shot?

Best regards,
Jason

Thanks Jason! Yes, I was using the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM

My only criticism of this set is the one you already picked up on!

Love the composition and detail on these

Raptors are my favorite. I have a soft spot for redtails. Thanks for sharing these. Very nice set.

Very difficult not to chop bits off then if the bird is slightly too close. You did well.
