I just have so much fun with them.. As always comments welcome

It still amazes me how they can spot fish from above and swoop down like that.

Great series. Jealous.

Ditto on great series! Somewhere I have a similar shot to #3 but it was pure luck as my continuous burst speed is not up to snuff.

Awesome shots, I love looking at your pictures.

I love how all your fish shots coincidentally seem to involve awesome birds

I've been trying to catch the perfect stoop. I want one really close. They supposedly dive at 80 mph so they are pretty hard to track. I'm thinking 1/1250th is not fast enough but I can't get any faster unless I go into the noisy realm of ISO 800 on the D300.
