Redwing Female in flight

[Chako]

I tried to get some of these overly fast birds during flight. I was hand holding the Bigma zoomed to 500mm which comes out to 800mm with the 1.6 cropping factor of the camera. As you can see, I was only partial successful. I was hoping for a really sharp example, but didn't get it this round. Although they are not very sharp, I still like the shapes of these fast flyers in the air.

I really like the last one. They are really good shots-I know how difficult they are to get haha-Everytime I tried they were so fast. You have some really great close ups there!
Here's what I got on 6x zoom-but not successful at all lol-
