Helpful Posts: I had the pleasure of dropping in on a wildlife refuge for birds of prey, just north of Duncan, BC, Canada. While it was wonderful to see the animals in a positive environment it was really impressive to see them fly to catch their targets on the wing.

Thank you for your kind comment, and to answer your question I was using a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM lens, on a Canon 7D Mk II body. I have had this lens for about 5 years now and found it to be really crisp and yet quite lightweight.
Here are another couple of shots...

Re: Angry Birds
Great set of portraits. Really nailed these. For me, they capture both the mystery and majesty of these creatures. And I love those of the bird on the wing. Is that some kind of vulture?

Re: Angry Birds
Thanks Nandakumar:
Donald's inquiry reminded me... there was a scavenger included in the display, a Marabou stork.

Re: Angry Birds
While the eagles etc. were free to roam outside most other birds were in enclosures. Consequently that photo of an owl was actually taken through a wire mesh screen, as was the shot below. Lots of people were taking the same shot with their cell phones and, of course, getting a great image of a screen. Three cheers for telephoto DOF effect! Originally Posted by Wavelength
