We went for a drive to see if I could find an eagle or two today. We saw in excess of TEN!!! I have to give props to all you amazing wildlife photographers out there. I learned today that just because I shoot sports, doesn't mean I can just go shoot birds in flight. I definitely need more practice.
All images shot with the Z9 and the 800z 6.3

Better watch. It can be addicting. And FWIW I shoot BIF all the time and struggle with sports.

800mm is great for portraits yet not the lens I'd advise people to start doing birds in flight with. Something in the 400mm range is a good place to start.

Practice practice...I will and you should too (with sports).

Morris, i also have the z400. I was in crop mode with the 800. There is no way i would have picked-up the eagles with the 400 as I was all the way across the river. I am going to go to the beach with my 400 and practice on seagulls...Hopefully that will help.
