Birds in Flight

I went to Glenn Hilton Park again for a little while to continue learning the new Sigma 150-500mm lens. There are a lot of really nice wildlife photo opportunities in the park on most days, and it's really a great place to take advantage of a lens like this. Over at DPChallenge.com this week, there is a "Birds in Flight" photo competition so I thought I might be able to pick up a shot or two that I could enter into that competition.  The above photo is a fair but I had hoped to get something a little better.  Maybe if time permits I will be able to get back down there for a while early one morning this week and see what finds its way into my viewfinder...  I still haven't taken the time to play around with the new 100mm macro lens or the 85mm f/1.8 yet, but that will come soon enough... I have had a really heavy work schedule lately, so time off is precious at the moment :)
