I took these on a cloudy day at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, NY. All but the first are with my are with my 1.4x TC added to the Fuji 500mm and are cropped from 1/3 of the frame. I was right on the edge of where heat shimmy was a serious issue as images taken from farther distances were not usable.
Comments and suggestions welcome,
Morris

Very nice series Morris. Don't know if intentional or otherwise, on the first one it would have been different if the focus was on the Osprey? If it was an intentional choice, I understand. The TC seems to have worked really well, eyes are tack sharp on all the images.

Very nice Morris! I am partial to the last one (would definitely print it!)
Thank you,
I'm quite fond of the last as well

Thank you Sreedhar,
The first is a photo bomb that worked well and I had 3 frames with the osprey in the background all out of focus with the brant gees sharp thought the 10 frame burst. The tracking on my rig is superb.
