Man, that Nikon 200-400 VR lens sucks! I'll pay for the shipping costs if you'll only sell it to me really,really cheap.

Look at the body language difference between the adult in #2 and the juvi in #4. Mom is landing with power but still relaxed. The young bird kind of has that "oh, crap I hope I make it!" look on his face.

Great stuff!
