The shots of the eagle flying upstream were taken just as the first rays of sunlight started to clear the trees. These are from a sequence of 44 shots. The A9 is an impressive beast. The shooting specs can be seen in the top left of the frames.
Amazingly beautiful captures and perfectly nailed shots. Did you try the a9 before the a9II and was there any difference in the speed of AF acquisition? Congrats!

On our Alaska/Yukon trip it was almost like Geoff was with us. He told me so many places to go. Always thankful Geoff.
I was working a bear in the middle of the river and suddenly to the left this guy waltzes around the corner...way close but you can't run, so what to do? Keep shooting

cross post from the big A7xx thread. Shot with A7RIV and 200-600+1.4xTC, big crop as well. I also shot a sequence of another eagle catching fish and flew towards my direction, great angle at eye level, unfortunately most of the shots the focus was on the wings, not the head. I think I was using zone tracking, the SS was 1/2000, maybe 1/2500 would have been better.

A few more shorties....
For those interested, these shortie shots are from Boundary Bay, Vancouver BC near 72st parking. The interesting thing about this location is you are shooting from a large trail on the dyke. On one side is a golf course and the other towards the ocean is the natural habitat....I'm guessing you can probably tell which side of the dyke each of these and the previous four shots were taken on
At one point I watched one owl just sit on a small dune above a mid fairway sand trap and the owl watched a pair of golfers make their way down the fairway, hitting their 2nd shots right in front of him. The owl didn't even move...so I almost had the urge to go pay the green fee and grab a cart just to get better shots....of course the pro shop might have wondered where my clubs were

Fantastic captures, again!
I so wish there'd be an open minded photographer in my area like you; here people are usually quite secretive about the truly good locations for wildlife photography. At least, I try take it as an inspiration for hiking.
