Not as sharp as I would like, but it was at 1/200 in the shade. I didn't expect him to fly almost straight at me.

Jody,

Again impressive. I don't worry too much about some blur. That adds drama. Still ISO 800 is a possibility but a slight increase in noise. I see you use the Bushhawk and your image is full frame. How did you get introduced to it and what's the learning curve?
