Wicked cool Tim! Is that a minnow or the top of the peli surfacing in the last shot? Great sequence, did you hold up a scorecard after the dive.......9.2

I have a hard enough time keeping one bird in the frame. Which bird did you focus on? If you say you manually focused I'm throwing in the towel.

Great work!

Hi Duane,
I could say manually focus but I didn't We don't want you to throw in the towel.
I was trying to track the first Pelican in this sequence.
Thanks
