Nothing I can add to the accolades. Wildlife action series of the year? There must be a contest somewhere for that. This would absolutely be a contender!
But, Dan, I have a question about how you got those shots, ALL PERFECTLY IN FOCUS! Now, understand that I use Canon, and I know there are differences in the Canon and Nikon focus capabilities, but I'd like to know what focus setting you were using. Does Nikon have a center spot focus? Were you using that (or any single spot focus)? Anyway, I tend to use center spot focus on the Canons, and I really doubt I'd be able to keep it right on through a sequence like that. I'm not even sure mine would keep focus if I used all of the points (what Canon calls automatic point selection).

Thank you kindly Eric. I did say "Holy $&*#" about 2-3 times

Great series Dan, timing was on your side this day. Congrats. I see your only shooting Nikon lately. Is my old 400 f5.6 in a closet collecting dust now ?
Herb
Thanks Herb. Nope, your 400mm is in good other hands now.

Well Danno, not sure how I missed being at least 5th on this post buddy but with ANT back the first several spots, or pages for that matter are quick to go
There has been a lot of good spoken here on these and righfully so. I would have been afraid to miss the exposure and had a 'Holy Silhouette' of the year! A fantastic event to have witnesses let alone recorded. How cool is that buddy, congrats on an awesome series
Karl
Thank you very much my buddy friend or friendly buddy, Karl . I am so glad you liked it.

I was on a workshop a couple of weeks ago with Chris Dodds, shooting Gannets on Ile Bonaventure, just off Percé, Québec, and I too was lucky enough to get a sequence of a mid-air "raid". I just posted it under the title of "Air Raid". I hope you take a look.
But better late than never. These are quite the WOW! Seriously how did you keep shooting these without saying "Holy $&*#" over and over. Great action and really well shot.
