Is it just me or does that Nikon 500 F4 hood look enormous? My 500L hood is much shorter. Also, what tripod setup do you use? Do you have a gimbal head when using the 400 or 500?

Holy shit, you know him?? Small world! I can't remember his name...he's always shooting the Vanier Park eagles with his girlfriend. I first met them at the hummingbird nest at Reifel last year - I think they're both PhD students at UBC.
Australia has the White Sea Eagle & the Wedge Tailed Eagle. Go shoot them, dammit! Also get shots of wild Cassowarys....
I use a Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 carbon fibre tripod with a 4668MGRC2 head.
Man, I thought the 7D has good AF tracking, but the 1DMKIV is on another level....
