Peter, my friend, you have my gears turning. I may have to try this sometime. Very beautiful shots indeed. I particularly like the positions of these pigeons in flight. This can't be easy to capture with a macro lens. Great job!
Thank you, Larry, with my stunt pijuns and ducks, that is not as hard as it seems.

Pretty impressive. My Tamron 90mm macro AF is slooow, I would have only gotten these with a lot of luck.

Wes, these Canon macro lenses are not very fast either, however, the key is to prefocus to the anticipated distance of first contact. Then the lens response is practically instantaneous. After that, what's important is to keep that center AF point on the bird's head. Once AF is lost, it's gone.....the recovery is practically impossible.
