    much to my chagrin after re-reviewing the prior MPCs I see that 'Airborne' was in deed a previous topic... fortunately it was in 129 MPCs ago..

    I was thinking the same thing. Looks like he decided to go a little different route with the first submission

    edit to add: those talons are freakish!
    Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.

    I really, REALLY, suck at shooting birds in flight. Here's what I got:

    1. Yes, there is something in flight in this picture (just left of centre in the middle):

    Not too many things flying around here the last few weeks. Even all of the airplanes at the local airport are stuffed in their hangers out of the snow and cold.
    So I had to push the limits of what I would consider "flight".

    Just some chickadees and blue jays, but this gave me some appreciation for the difficulty of bird photography.
