Birds of Prey: Raptors in Flight

Gear to consider:

• Interchangeable-lens camera - Most all-in-one type cameras aren't quite fast enough!
• Fast telephoto lens - e.g. 70-200mm f/2.8, 100-400mm or equivalent. We'll be pretty close to the birds, so you won't need a really long lens like you'd usually use for birding. You can leave the 600mm with teleconverter at home.
• Fast spare memory cards - we'll be on continuous shooting mode a lot! Plan to take hundreds of photos to get a few good ones.
• Extra batteries
• Monopod if you're worried about the weight of your camera, or to assist with panning.
