They pass off prey to each other in midair to take back to the nest.

Amazing shots. What's about your equipement and setting ?

Thanks Paul! For wildlife I'm using an R7 an RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM. I'd have to go back and look at my settings, but since it happened so fast I would imagine I left my shutter at 1/2500s, F7.1, auto ISO, Servo AF. Those are my walk around settings that I can adjust as needed. In this case I probably didn't have enough time to muck around without losing the shot. The whole encounter lasted probably 3 seconds. Thanks again!
