Falcons for Rick Lundh
Rick said he wanted a pic w/o the Falcons overlaping.....so here you go buddy. The only problem is that I shot the belly as they screamed directly overhead. I'll keep looking for that special shot for you Rick (still have something like 40 gigs to go thru).

Maybe a few more metal birds.....maybe not.......

Nikon D2x
70-200f2.8 VR, VR on active mode
400 knots
zone focus, manual exposure

Yikes! Best to stay on these guy's good side :)

Nikon has an 80-200 VR?

Good catch Sean, they have a 70-200VR (a victim of late night posting), also a 80-400 however it has older single plane VR sensor. I have played with the 80-400 and I did not find it very sharp. Still my fav is the 200-400, and is often my first choice when I have the distance and the upper body strength.

Pretty impressive, Randy. I like this one better than the other one.
