Impressive images, Thao. Takes a lot to keep up with them. How do you like this combo compared to your 7DII-500 f4?
Rex


Thanks Rex, I really like this combo - specially the group focus - It's fast and lighter than 7DII-500 f4 so I can handheld for the in flight shot. As a woman the weight of this set is good for walk around too. I still use my 500F4 for static shots - Can't complaint about the prime lens quality, but I hope Canon will have 7DIII soon

Thanks to my friend, Thang, who helped me to have this set.

Very nice action shots Thao. Are these recent? If so, it looks like nesting season has started this year.

Thanks John. How are you? Yes these are recent, got it this week after the rain stop - There is a male around too but he didn't do much

@Thao_Nguyen@, wow! these are undoubtedly some of the best American Kestrel pics I have ever seen.
I have lately been trying to find out more about these birds as they frequently visit the backyard of my aunt's house in Canada. I have found that building them a birdhouse can make them stay and reproduce, and so I have built one reasonably large one and put it up on a tree. But, the birds do not seem interested to go near it. Is there anything specific I was supposed to do? I know it may not be the right place

Thanks Lilly for looking. These are wildlife and they are very skittish, I don't think we can build any bird house for them like we do for hummingbirds

@Thao_Nguyen

Oh, well, it would have been cool to have one nesting here... but I think you are right. Hope the nest box will be useful for some other birds thanks

Excellent work, Thao! Not an easy bird to capture IF images of, and you've nailed these!
