MaryParticipantI am with you on needing to build upper body strength as my 200-500 mm lens is a challenge for me to handhold. Your osprey photo once again shows what I just read about osprey always hold their fish head first. All your photos are good!in reply to: Practice Capturing Birds in Flight #767384

Nikon D500 with ISO 400, f/6.3, 1/2000 with 340mm
Osprey photo taken with Nikon D500 With ISO 400, f/11, 1/2500 with 500mm. Both photos taken on different days were with little time to set up! The hawk spent a minute flying over me and the osprey was on a post and then took off so I figured to practice while it flew away. The hawk was handheld and osprey was while using my gimbaled on tripod.

MaryParticipantFantastic help provided to the heron for the mistakes others had caused the heron. Kudos to the folks who helped the bird too, along with your help. Great story.
I saw this recycling bin for fishline just last week and hope to use it in a future story of mine.
