For this particular photo I took advantage of the strong winds from the north. I waited near the birds' favorite feeding area and as the bird flew toward the feeding area from the south their ground speed was much slower than if there had been no wind. Following the bird with the camera was much easier this way. This particular photo is un-cropped. I'm a little disappointed that I lost some of the bird's toes but otherwise I'm very happy with this photo. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
