So as opposed to fast little falcons, the elk were in no hurry and not the least bit concerned with me taking their picture.

The more fps, the better. Can't wait to get a 1D X.

Dave

I'm still wondering if I should have waited to get a 1D MkIV instead of the 5D MkIII. Too late now, though.

Nice shot up there, DC. Got some sensor dust spots, though. Or maybe moisture drops on the lens?

Great title, Ed.

Dust. I got in a rush and forgot to remove them. I'll send it in to CPS for a good cleaning next week.

Thanks Mark. That's what he reminded me of, sitting there looking over the pond. I can't see a hawk trying to tackle a goose though. Just a bit too big.
Here is an alternate view.

Eagles do take geese, but not nearly enough! Our red-tails grab the prairie dogs, which probably weigh as much as geese. Once again, they don't take near enough.
